Flipout cooler and accessories

Abstract

A. Flipout Cooler's & Accessories is an invention that incorporates work surfaces, I.e., tables, cup holders, shelves or any combination thereof placed into or onto an “ice chest”/“cooler”. B. The utility surfaces are recessed & conceled within the wall, and/or surface mounted into/onto the coolers exterior surface which when in a closed position and pulled along a controlled path to establish a work surface, the exterior work surfaces form table's, Shelves, preparation areas, work surfaces, drink holders shelf, etc.

1 . I claim to have invented, designed and/or conceived of an “ice chest/cooler” having, in addition to a compartment for the cooling of items contained therein, one (1) or more tables, shelves, work surfaces and cup holder shelves in any combination and size which move from a closed position for rest either attached to, recessed into and/or contained within the vertical walls (sides) of the exterior to a point perpendicular thereto.  
     
     
         2 . I claim to have invented, designed and/or conceived of a work surface, shelf and/or table which is moved outward and upward along a controlled path about a hinged point from a closed position of rest either attached to, recessed into and/or contained within the exterior vertical wall of the cooler compartment to a position perpendicular thereto.  
     
     
         3 . I claim to have invented, designed and/or conceived of a work surface, shelf, cup holder shelf and/or table which is moved outward and downward along a controlled path about a hinged point from a closed position of rest either attached to, recessed into and/or contained within the exterior vertical wall of the cooler compartment to a position perpendicular thereto. The cup holder shelf may contain any number of telescoping holders.  
     
     
         4 . I claim to have invented, designed and conceived of a telescoping cup holder as an integral component of a shelf attached to, recessed into and/or contained within the exterior wall of the cooler compartment which moves along a controlled path about a hinged point to a position of perpendicular and thus allowing for the cup holder device to telescope into an open position to receive and hold in place third party containers.  
     
     
         5 . I claim to have invented, designed and/or conceived of a projection of approximately four (4) square inches in area with a project height of a horizontal plane of three-eighths inches therefore being an integral part of the bottom surface and located thereon near the four corners thereof for the purpose of fitting (mating) into a depression somewhat deeper in depth located on the top surface and somewhat larger in area to allow for the mating of vertically stacked coolers.  
     
     
         6 . I claim to have invented and conceived of the word “flipout” to be used as a Trademark thereafter to be embossed onto, stamped into or projection molded on the surface of the cooler and/or any and all claims applied for in this application.
