ABSTRACT:
A secure beach picnic chest assembly includes a lockable picnic chest and a centrally-disposed anti-theft anchoring device that extends through a through opening in the floor of the chest and can be pushed downwardly to become embedded in sand or soft soil. By turning an actuator handle at the top of the anchoring device, a plurality of anchoring members thereon can be moved between first and second positions. In their first positions, the anchoring members are disposed against the outside of a peripheral wall of the member, so that the member can be inserted into or withdrawn from the sand or soft soil. In their second positions, the anchoring members are angled outwardly from the peripheral wall for anchoring the anti-theft member and the picnic chest to prevent the latter from being carried away by casual thieves. The combination is useful, for example, at a beach, where food, clothes, and valuables can be placed in the chest, and the lid thereof can be secured by a lock, permitting the entire party of picnickers or bathers to leave the chest unattended and go swimming.
