ABSTRACT:
A portable container of the type generally used for retaining within a receptacle storage area items and thermal units, such as a refrigeration unit or ice packs, so as to maintain such items at a differential temperature relative to ambient temperature. The container includes U-shaped members positionable in a first position extending above and across the receptacle to define handle elements for carrying the receptacle and in a second position extending below the receptacle to define leg elements for supporting the receptacle thereabove. The invention further includes a mechanism for locking the U-shaped members in the second position and such mechanism comprises a handle/leg holder for attaching the U-shaped members directly to the sides of the receptacle. One embodiment employs a spring for providing proper tensions on the U-shaped members when in the locked and unlocked positions and another embodiment employs a non-spring holder secured by a wing nut.
