ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a portable, wheeled cooler apparatus having a (1) cooler chest assembly; (2) support wheel assembly on which the cooler chest assembly is mounted; and (3) a combination handle and lock assembly connected to the cooler chest assembly to act as a lock in an enclosed condition and as a handle in a transport condition. The cooler chest assembly includes a support container member with a removable enclosure lid member mounted thereon. The support wheel assembly is operable in an upright condition of the cooler chest assembly to restrict lateral movement thereof as having support wheel members out of contact with a support surface. The cooler chest assembly is pivotal rearwardly out of contact with the support surface for ease of movement on the wheel members. The combination handle and lock assembly is provided with first and second handle sections which are operable (1) in one condition to hold the enclosure lid member against the support container member; and (2) in an extended, aligned condition to form a rigid handle assembly for movement of the entire cooler chest assembly. The combination handle and lock assembly is provided with detent lock members to releasably anchor the first wall handle section to the support container member and, additionally, to the second wall handle section in the extended condition.
