ABSTRACT:
An inflatable container having an inflatable peripheral side wall formed by inner an outer essentially concentric cylindrical members to define an essentially annular thermal insulating inflatable air space. The inflatable container includes two inflatable end walls, each watertight sealed to respective ends of the inflatable peripheral side wall in order to define a closed, watertight cylindrical enclosure. The inflatable container includes along a linear top portion thereof, a zipper mechanism attached to opposed linear edges of the peripheral side wall for permitting access into the cylindrical cavity defined by the container. Proper radial spacing of the inner and outer cylindrical sheets of the peripheral side wall is maintained by a plurality of individual point attachments therebetween which maximize the effective insulating surface area of the side wall, while simultaneously improving the structural rigidity in the linear and transverse directions. The two end pieces of the inflatable container are similarly and individually inflated in order to provide thermal insulation and structural rigidity to the respective end walls. The inflatable container also includes a strap mechanism which is removably attached to respective ends of the cylindrical peripheral side wall in a manner such that the user may carry the inflatable container about by positioning the strap over the user's shoulder.
