Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] In line with the prior application of the U.S. Provisional
Patent Application Ser. No. 61/012,618, file on Dec. 10, 2007, this
application also claims those benefits.
SUMMARY AND SPECIFICATION OF INVENTION
[0002] Deals on Wheels, the portable cooler, with table, sets,
warming and cooling unit is all compact into one product. The
cooler is divided into a hot and cold section. Heating and cooling
elements are built into the cooler walls, and each compartment is
separated by a wall to keep the hot side hot and the cold side
cold. The top slides out on the ends of the cooler, exposing and
underlying cover over each section. There are the compartments
where food would be stored. The covers are opened, as a book would
open, to obtain food items and closed to use as a table top. The
slide covers are the table tops which are used to eat from. The
slide cover has two cup holders and openings underneath, where
attachable legs are snapped in place. The legs are stored on side
of the cooler with elastic bands, and rolled mats are held in place
with elastic bands on the opposite side. The unit has two heels on
the long side of the cooler, and two solid legs on the opposite
side. The legs help the cooler remain steady when not moving. The
side with the wheels has a retractable, pull-out handle for
transporting. There are handles underneath the slide covers on each
side for carrying. The size of the cooler would vary. There may be
a variety of colors, accommodate users and the appearance
compatible with modern day coolers.
RANGE/FIELD OF INVENTION
[0003] Deal on Wheels was designed to help create the ultimate way
to enjoy outdoor activities, when it comes to seating and carrying
food items. Deal on Wheels is a useful and convenient product that
enables users a most reliable way to transport food item in a
portable cooler, whether the food is either hot, cold or both. Deal
on Wheels eliminates users the need to find a place to sit and eat
their consumables. The wheels which are attached to the cooler
allows easy movement and the assessable seating mats are carried
along as user transport from one place to another. This compact
product is perfect for any outdoor activity. The handles beneath
the slide covers on each side make the cooler easy for
transporting. The size of the cooler/product would vary. There may
be a variety of colors to accommodate the users and would have the
appearance of modern convenient coolers.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
[0004] Too often people are faced with food storage and seating
problems on outings. Either there are no seats available, or
transporting the food items with them can become too time consuming
and awkward. Carrying around too many separate items, takes much of
the fun from the event. Then, once they find a place to eat, they
are constantly getting up or going in and out of the container.
When it comes to having a seat, sitting on the food container can
be another problem. If a person chooses to sit on a portable chair,
he/she winds up balancing the food on their laps and drinks are too
often spilled, kicked or knocked over.
