Description

BACKGROUND

1. Field of Invention

The present invention relates to a cooler for storing items including food and beverages and the top of the container has a height adjustable table surface.

2. Background of the Art

A cooler or cooling container for storing food and beverage items in a cool condition for use on picnics, comping trips, and outdoor excursions. The food and beverages can be kept in the container at a cool temperature insulated from outside with ice and other cooling materials therewith. However, a user of a cooling container often encounters is a lack of usable storage surface such as a table for food. While using a cooling container, people often use the top of the cooling's lid as a table by placing objects, such as open drinks, food, condiments, etc., on top of the lid. This presents a problem because every time a person needs to retrieve something from inside the container, the open drinks, food, condiments and so forth need to be removed from the top of the lid. The lid is lifted to access inside of container or completely removed from the container.
Another problem with conventional cooling container is the lack of storage space for dry goods, such as paper plates, utensils, cups, etc., and for other objects, such as beach toys, towels, etc.
Therefore, a need exists for a table that may be attached to a cooling in an elevated position, thereby providing a storage surface while still allowing the lid of the cooler to be opened, and an enclosure for storing objects between the cooling and the elevated table, thereby allowing for easy transportation of said objects.
There exists a need in an art for an insulated container having a removable top and which further provides convenient storage surface such as table which many be used independently of the lid of the container. The vertically adjustable table on the container as a lid itself is required.

SUMMARY

A table top cooler provides a storage surface while still allowing the lid of the cooler to be opened, and an enclosure for storing objects within the cooling container, the enclosure being accessible between the elevated table and the top of the open container, thereby allowing for easy transportation of said objects. A table-top cooling container has a vertically adjustable top table with a plurality of wheels attachable to the body, which provides mobility. The adjustable top on the container is used as a lid itself and lifts off vertically and discloses inside items of the cooling container. A table top is associated with the cooling container which in the stored position rests on top of the container and is secured by table rods thereof each of which are insertable into an aperture located in each wall of the container. The table rods can be stowed inside of the container by inserting the rods into start of the container. The table top seals the container as it also acts as the cover to the cooler.
When the table top is elevated off the container, a spring-loaded button located in each rod engages with a hole in the aperture located in the wall of the container. When a user elevates the table top from the container, the table rods moves vertically and at a certain height locks in place so that the table top can provide a horizontal table top or storage surface elevated above the top surface of the open container permitting the lid of the container to be opened. The table rods extend upward to a predetermined distance from the container to support the table in an elevated position. The table rods are vertically extendable from the container so that the storage surface may be elevated from the closed position to an open position above the upper surface of the open container and locked in at a predetermined position.
The table top may be further provided with trays or compartments for storage of items such as eating utensils. The table is providing the extra space for the food trays or some other useful purposes at the outdoor at the same time the user can freely take out items from the container. The top lid is opened as the table is lifted off vertically.

As shown in FIGS. 1-18 , a table top cooling container 200 for storing food and beverage items in a cool condition for used on picnics, comping trips, and outdoor excursions. The food and beverages can be kept in the container at a cool temperature insulated from outside with ice chest and other cooling materials therewith. The container 200 has a plurality of wheels 15 attachable to the body, which provides mobility and conversion.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a moveable table top cooler 200 in a closed position with a top table 20 in accordance with the inventive arrangements disclosed herein. The moveable table top cooler 200 includes a table 20, a cooling container box 40, a handle 61, a semicircular basket 61, wheels 63, a cavity 45, and a button 17. The button 17 is used with embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 4B-5D. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the movable table top cooler 200 in an open position with an elevated top table 20. The table 20 which is opened includes at least two table rails or rods 30. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the movable table top cooler 200 and the top table 20 detached from the moveable table top cooler 200. The container 40 includes at least two rail-receiving channels or apertures 50. The top table 20 can be easily detached from the moveable table top cooler 200 by a user lifting off from the cooling container 40.
A cooling container 200 is integrated with a table surface on its top 20. The table 20 has at least two table rods 30 extending from the lower surface of the table in FIG. 4 . The table rods 30 can have a rounded or square cross-sectional shape; other shapes are contemplated. The table rods 30 are fixed on the lower surface of the table 20. The table rods 30 can be tightly fastened to the table 20 and support the table 20 vertically. It is appreciated that different types of table rods may be provided, fixed, collapsible or detachable to a lower part of the table. The table rods 30 can be composed of any material including wooden or metallic materials. The inside of the table rods 30 can be hollow for a first embodiment. Each table rod 30 includes a hole 95 positioned at some vertical point between the top edge and the bottom edge of the table rod 30. The hole 95 penetrates the rod 30 at a right angle. Positioned within the hole 95 is a spring 96 and a button-shaped protrusion 11 that extends out of the table rod 30. The button-shaped protrusion 11 can enter or exit from the hole 95 to connect to the spring 96 inside of the hole 95 (see FIG. 4 ). The button-shaped protrusion 11 can be normally protruded from the table rod 30 due to the resilience 130 of the spring 96. The spring 96 can be connected to the button shaped protrusion 11. The spring 96 release is located in the tube of the rod 30. A user can give a pressure on the protrusion and push it into the tube. The spring 96 in the tube are resilient so it can be restored if there is no pressure on it. The spring 96 can be any material including steel but its resilience can be enough for the protrusion to restore at the initial position. In some embodiment, the protrusion in the tube can be pushed in and out by any pressure from the outside. The table rods are fixated on the table with bolts in FIG. 4 . The inside of the table rod shows the button-shaped protrusion 11 in FIG. 4 .
For another embodiment, the top table 20 can include a button 17 in FIG. 4A, which can be used to facilitate actions relating to the rod and a handle system. More particularly, activation of button 17 can facilitate actions such as extending and retracting the rod and releasing or engaging the table top to facilitate lifting motion and/or lowering motion about the rod in FIG. 4A. The rod is fixed to the top table as a leg of the top table and has a shape like a plunger in FIG. 4A.
The rod 30 can define an axis 18 that is generally aligned with the rod. The top table in FIG. 4A can include at least one gripping side extension 19 on the side surface of the top table in FIG. 4B. The side gripping extension 19 can be provided along the button 17 such that it is substantially perpendicular to the plane on the button 17 of the top table 20. The axis also 18 is substantially perpendicular to the top table 20, and when taken together with the axis, forms the plane that is about parallel with the rod 30. The top table 20 can be secured to the rod 30 assembly that facilitates vertical movement of the top table relative to the rod 30. The vertical movement can include up and down movement of the top table 20 about the axis 18.
As one embodiment, the space between a rod 30 and an aperture 50 in the box is closely narrowed when the rod 30 is inserted into the aperture 50 to prevent any loose gaps in FIG. 5A. The aperture 50 receives the table rod 30 in FIGS. 5A-5B. The button 11 of rods 30 is pulled out of the cooling container's out layer in FIG. 5A. The rod 30 on the top table 20 can include a hook 12 and the hook 12 to the rod 30 provides a configuration as follows: when the rod 30 is secured to the cooling container of the top table cooler by the button 11 attached to a grooved object 13 in FIG. 5A, the top table within the top table cooler rest in a plane parallel to a surface of the top table cooler, creating a stable top table cooler locks the top table into the cooling container . The button 17 on the top table can be pushed down along with the hook 12 causing the button 11 is pulled into rod 30 in FIG. 5B. The hook 12 unlocks the rod which is secured to the cooling container by pulling a button 11 into the cooling container. The grooved object 13 includes the button 11 and moves horizontally side by side by a spring 14 which the spring 14 is attached to the grooved object 13. When the hook 12 is pushed down, the grooved object 13 with the button 11 is pulled into the rod 30 so the rod 30 can move vertically. The button 11 can be pulled out from the inside to the outside of the rod through the holes 93 of the cooling container's wall due to the spring which is attached to while the rod moves vertically at 500 in FIG. 5C-5D. The elevated rod 30 can be locked due to the button 11, which is pulled out from the cooling container through a hole 93 in FIG. 5D. The top table cooler 200 can be at the open position while the top table is locked into the cooling container.
Although the mechanism to lock the lid in the open position has been described with respect to the illustrations described above, other latch and release mechanisms are contemplated.
The cooling container box 40 can have at least two layers such as an inner layer 47 and an outer layer 48, which insulate the box from outside variable temperatures (see FIG. 6 ). The items inside of the container can be maintained in a desired temperature range. There is one aperture 50 or hollow inside the wall associated with each table rod 30 and configured to stow a table rod 30. The aperture 50 is located between the outer layer 48 and inner layer 47 of the container. The aperture is located at longitudinal section between layers of the box. The cooling container 200 shows the aperture 50 in FIG. 6 . The hollow length of the aperture 50 can be extended vertically from top of the container to bottom of the container 140 and be longer than the length of the table rod 150 (see FIG. 7A). The shape of the aperture 50 can be formed to mate with the table rod 30 shape to stow the table rods 30. The aperture 50 of the container can contain the table rods 30 inside thereof. The shape of the aperture 50 can be any shape such as rectangular or rounded shape depending on the shape of the table rods 30 to secure the table (see FIG. 7A).
When the table is at the closed position, the table top 20 seals the top of the container thus improving thermal insulation to thereby retain items stored therein at a desired temperature range (see FIG. 7B). The table 20 tightly lays on top of the container at the closed position. The table top 20 seals the container and acts as the lid of the container in the closed position 160 in FIG. 7B.
The side of the container containing the hollow aperture 50 is connected to a horizontal hole 94 at a right angle 70 (see FIG. 8 ). The horizontal hole 94 of the container is located at some vertical point between the top and bottom of the container. The horizontal hole 94 of the container is tunneled from a side of aperture to outside of the container horizontally. A cap can be integrated into the hole from outside of the container, and can be shaped as a tack and elongated. The elongated cap is pushed into the small hollow hole to reach the side of the aperture of the container. When the cap is pushed into the aperture's side by a user, the small hollow hole can be filled with the part of the elongated cap. The elongated cap can be any material including metal or plastic. The elongated cap can be long enough to reach the side of aperture and a user can insert it into the small hollow.
A user can lift off the top-table from a closed container (see FIG. 9 ). The horizontal table with rods 30 is inserted into the aperture 50 of the container vertically. The table can be vertically extendable from the container. The table is supported on rods 30 that are vertically extendable from the container to a use-position above container 170. The table top may be further provided with trays or compartments for storage of items such as eating utensils. The button-shaped protrusion 11 of the table rods 30 can be used for locking in the table 20 at the certain open position. The button-shaped protrusion 11 is integrated with a spring 96 while the rods 30 go up, the protrusion 11 can be stowed inside of the hollow table rods because the contact side aperture of the container pushes the protrusion into the table rod 30 until the rod with button-shaped protrusion reaches the hole 80 of the aperture 50 of the container 40. There is a small hollow hole instead of the contact surface of the container and nothing can push into the protrusion into the table rods. The button-shaped protrusion of the table rods can be protruded toward the small hole of the container due to a connected spring's resilience (see FIG. 9 ). The small hollowed hole 80 can catch the protrusion of table rods. The hole can be operated as a boathook and hook up into the protrusion of the table rods, which locks in the table at a use-position above container and stops lowering the table vertically. Because the protruded part of the rod is hooked into the hole of the container, the table can be locked in the open position and the container is open for use. A user can access into the cooling container's items. The table is secured at the open position. The table is lifted off from the container and table rods are extendable from a stored position to a position of use and engageable in the container to position the table at the elevation above and parallel to the container top to allow access to the container. The table may also be lifted off for use independent of the container. In other embodiments, the rods are extendible from apertures in the cooling side or end of walls to allow the table unit to be elevated to the desired position and then secured in place.
A rounded button 90 (see FIG. 10 ) as a cap can be connected to the small hollow hole 80 of container at the outer of the wall. The rounded button 90 can be elongated and inserted the hole of the container from the outside and the hole can be stuffed with the part of the elongated cap. The shape of the cap can be of various shapes. The elongated cap can fill the hole from the outside wall of the container and the elongated cap can reach the inside of the aperture of the container from the outside wall of the container. The elongated cap is attached outside the wall of the container and the length of the cap can be extended to the end of the hole inside. The user can push the part of the button into the hole and pull it out from the hole 100.
In some embodiments, FIGS. 11A-11C are perspective partial side view of the rod and cooling container laid at 90-degree angle. FIGS. 11A-11C are the just embodiment associate with FIGS. 9-10 . The button 90 is attached to the wall of the cooling container (see FIG. 11A). The rod with the top table is locked to the cooling container and secured when the rod button 11 pushes the button 90 with the spring tension from the rod. However, when a user pushes the button 90, the button 11 is pulled into the rod and the rod can be unlocked to the cooling container and move freely in FIGS. 11B-11C.
In some embodiments, the button can have a spring at the bottom of the button so the user can push part of the button into the hole and easily pull it out from the hole when no force is on the cap. A user can fill the hole of the container's wall by pushing a rounded cap. In one non-limiting embodiment, the cap can be screwed into the hole thus, filling the hole. The cap's shape can be of various shapes depending on the hole's size and shape provided the button may be able to operate to push or pull into the hole. The small hole of the container is filled with the elongated button and it can push the protrusion of the table rod into the rod. A user can pull up the table from the container by pushing into each side of the elongated buttons 110 (see FIG. 12 ). Otherwise, the table can cover up the container as a lid.
The table 20 can seal the top surface of the container 40 like an ice box (see FIG. 7B). The sealed container can preserve the items inside and a user can store items with cooling materials. However, a user can seal the container 40 with the top table 20 and can be lift the top-table off from the container (see FIG. 12 ). In some embodiments, there are two layers inside of the container. Two layers in the container have slightly different size in light of the vertical height. The inner layer 47 can emerge from the top of the container. The top-table 20 has a cushion material at the boundary thereof, which touches the inner layer 47 of the container. The touching area of the inner layer 47 can emerge from the top of the container a minor amount but enough for the user to notice it. The inner layer 47 of the container 40 can be a little raised from the surface of the container and can touch on the cushion material of the table. Accordingly, the container can be sealed, but the outer layer 48 is lower than the inner layer 47 and cannot be touched on the top table (see FIG. 13 ). Accordingly, there is an open gap 85 between the top table and the container because of the outer layer 48. The open gap between the outer layer 48 of the container 40 and the table top 20 is slight, and the open gap can be used for the user to lift off the table from the container.
The top table 20 with rods 30 touches the container 40 and the rods 30 insert into the aperture 50 of the container 40 vertically. The button-shaped protrusion 11 can be protruded from the rods 30 and the protrusion lays on the top of container's wall (see FIG. 13 ). Unless a user pushes into the protrusion 11 into the rods of the table, the table can be higher than the top surface of the container 40 and higher than the table rods 30 locked inside of the container 40 (see FIG. 14 ). Each rod 30 has a protrusion 11 and can secure the position of the table 20 at the heightened position from the surface of the container 40. The table can be at an elevation above 190 and parallel to the container top to allow access to the cooling chamber (see FIG. 14 ). The protrusion 11 can support the table 20 with rods 30 on the top of the surface of the container 40.
The assembly may also contain handles 61 to assist in mobility and conversion. At least one handle 61 can be attached to adjacent the end walls of the container 40 (see FIG. 15 ). The handle 61 is located against the end wall and in a towing position that allows a user to pull or move the container 40 using wheels 63. A handle 61 can be fastened using screw holes on the container's wall. Each of the ends of the handle 61 can be fixed to the wall of container 40 through the holes on the container 40. Screws for a handle 61 can be separately provided for the assembly process. In some embodiments, when the handles 61 are grasped by the user, they may be pivoted to convenient position for lifting or carrying the container.
The container can have a cavity 45 near bottom of the container tunneled from inside to outside of the container 40 in order drain liquid therein. A screw 46 can plug in the cavity when it is not used (see FIG. 16 ). The location of the cavity 45 can be located against any wall of the container 40 provided it can drain the liquid from the container. The use of the cavity 45 is not limited to draining liquid, but may include any purpose such as pouring beverages using a spigot.
Each wheel 63 can be provided with a leg 65 (see FIG. 17 ). The leg 65 and the wheels 63 can be assembled separately. The wheels 63 with legs 65 can be mounted to the container for mobility. At least one wheel 63 with at least one leg 65 can be assembled to the bottom of the container 40. At least one wheel 63 can be assembled with at least one wheel's leg 65. The legs 65 with wheels 63 thereon can adjust the vertical length of the container 40. Each leg can be assembled to the wheel using a screw hole and screw. The leg of the wheel is directly attached to the container through screw holes and screws. The wheels can rotate 360 degrees. A user can move the container using the wheels in at any direction. The wheels 63 have a screw 66 attached and are assembled into a thread groove 67 of the container secured with nuts or end caps thereof.
A semicircular basket 62 having at least one u-shaped aperture 81 at the plane side of basket 62 can be assembled or attached to a protruding rack located at the side of the container 40 (see FIG. 18 .) The protruding rack can hook the semicircular basket 82 to the container through u-shaped apertures 81. The u-shaped apertures can help the basket 62 to cling to the container 40. FIG. 18 shows a side view of the semicircular basket. There are two U-shaped apertures on the side of the basket 62, but this number is not limiting. At least one u-shaped aperture 81 is located on the plane side of the basket 62, whose side can face the rack of container. The semicircular basket can provide extra storage in addition to the inside storage of the container.
