         10 . The portable can cooler as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein said latch comprises a spring actuated with a lever, said lever being adapted to exert pressure on lid to keep it tightly pressed downwards in the closed position. 
     
     
         11 . A portable can cooler comprising:
 (i) a cylindrical housing capable of holding a can comprising a liquid beverage;   (ii) a lid disposed at the upper edge of the cylindrical housing, the inner part of said lid and said cylindrical housing contacting said beverage can being insulated;   (iii) a lever capable of actuating said lid into an open or closed position;   (iv) a latch, a part of the said latch being attached to the outer part of the lid and the remaining part of said latch being attached to outer part of the cylindrical housing wherein both said parts are disengaged when lid is in the open position or engaged when the lid is in open position; and   (v) a spring housed within said latch and being actuated by said lever, the lever being adapted to exert pressure on lid through said spring to maintain the lid in the closed position.   
     
     
         12 . A portable can cooler comprising:
 (i) a cylindrical housing capable of holding a can comprising a liquid beverage;   (ii) a lid disposed at the upper edge of the cylindrical housing, the inner part of said lid and said cylindrical housing contacting said beverage can being insulated;   (iii) a lever capable of actuating said lid into an open or closed position;   (iv) a latch, a part of the said latch being attached to the outer part of the lid and the remaining part of said latch being attached to outer part of the cylindrical housing wherein both said parts are disengaged when lid is in the open position or engaged when the lid is in open position;   (v) an actuating means operable by the provided lever to bring said lid into an open or closed position from any other position, said actuating means comprising a spring or an extendible elastic being adapted to exert pressure on lid through said actuating means to maintain the lid in the closed position.   
     
     
         13 . The portable can cooler as claimed in  claim 10  comprising a discharge outlet. 
     
     
         14 . A method of opening or closing the lid in a beverage can cooler comprising (a) a cylindrical housing capable of holding a can comprising a liquid beverage; (b) a lid disposed at the upper edge of the cylindrical housing, the inner part of said lid and said cylindrical housing contacting said beverage can being insulated; (c) a lever capable of actuating said lid into an open or closed position; (d) a latch, a part of the said latch being attached to the outer part of the lid and the remaining part of said latch being attached to outer part of the cylindrical housing wherein both said parts are disengaged when lid is in the open position or engaged when the lid is in open position; and (e) an actuating means operable by the provided lever to bring said lid into an open or closed position from any other position, said actuating means comprising a spring or an extendible elastic being adapted to exert pressure on lid through said actuating means to maintain the lid in the closed position, said method comprising pressing or pulling said provided lever with at least one finger thereby actuating a provided spring to open or close the lid.
