ABSTRACT:
A removable food container attachment for lunch pails and small coolers includes a sling member formed of flexible material having a bottom wall and opposed end portions and side portions extending upwardly therefrom to define a generally rectangular compartment which receives one or more bowl-shaped food containers each having an air tight lid. In a preferred embodiment, the bottom and sides of the compartment are of double wall construction and filled with thermally insulating material. A flexible insulating cover removably received on the top of the covered food container encloses the top end of the sling compartment. The sling compartment with the insulating cover installed is placed on the bottom of a conventional lunch pail or small cooler. A flexible strap connected to one side portion extends over the top of the pail or cooler and a releasable fastener connected with the strap and with the other side portion releasably secures the sling onto the pail or cooler and the assembly is conveniently carried as a single unit. One or more small pockets may be provided on the exterior of the sling for holding eating utensils and other items. Conventional covered food containers, microwaveable dishes, or one or more conventional frozen dinner packages may be carried in the sling compartment. Wholesome plate lunches prepared in advance may be placed in containers, stored in an refrigerator or freezer, transported in the attachment, and when desired, microwaved for consumption.
