ABSTRACT:
A backpack carried on the back of a vendor for transporting and dispensing individual cans or bottles of a beverage, has at least one thermally insulated generally rectangular storage compartment configured to hold a plurality of cans or bottles of a beverage in vertical descendable disposition, a closable lid at the top end of the backpack, and at least one access opening disposed at a lower end of the backpack in a position accessible to the hand of the person wearing the backpack. In a preferred embodiment, the backpack has a thermally insulated back wall, front wall, opposed side walls, bottom wall, and hinged top wall, a pair of laterally adjacent storage compartments, and a lower portion which extends laterally outward from the opposed side walls to define laterally opposed side extensions, and the back wall has a pair of laterally opposed access openings one in each side extension accessible to either hand of the person wearing the backpack by reaching rearwardly to manually withdraw a lowermost one of the cans or bottles from either storage compartment. A storage pouch may be releasably attached to the backpack to store empty cans or bottles. One or more panels may be installed on the exterior of the backpack which are imprinted with a picture or other advertising indicia to represent the type of beverage contained within the backpack. Alternatively, a hollow shell may be installed on the exterior of the backpack which is configured to resemble the shape of a beverage container of the type contained within the backpack.
