ABSTRACT:
A soft-sided insulative container includes a base, a rear wall and three side walls extending upward from the base, and a cover. The base, rear wall and cover are integrally formed, with the cover connected to the rear wall with a folding hinge. The side walls are integrally formed with each other, with the side walls connected to the base and rear wall at seams. Each side wall has a side wall ear flexibly attached to it with a folding hinge to extend inward adjacent the cover. The cover has cover ears each flexibly attached to it with a folding hinge, and cover ears extend downward around all the peripheral edges of the cover. In a closed position, each unhinged edge between the cover and the side walls includes both a side wall ear and a cover ear in an overlapping configuration. The cover ears are temporarily secured to the side walls in this closed position. The base, the side walls, the cover, the side wall ears and the cover ears are formed of three layers of flexible material, including an inside layer, an outside layer, and a thermally insulative blanket. The inside layer and the outside layer are substantially waterproof. The insulation blanket includes four separate layers, which extend continuously through the flexible hinges, but do not extend into seams.
