Container liner

Abstract

A device is described for providing a removable, disposable or reusable liner for a container. The liner may include an adhesive about the perimeter, a liner spout, and handles. The liner is particularly well suited to conform to the interior of a cooler and may seal to the inside of the cooler or overlap and seal to the outside of the container.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A container lining device for lining a container having a container interior, a container exterior, and a container spout allowing fluids in the container interior to pass therethrough, said container lining device comprising:
 a bottom defining a bottom periphery;   a sidewall extending up from said bottom along said bottom periphery to an open end, said sidewall defining interior and exterior surfaces;   an adhesive band disposed adjacent said open end and extending around all of said exterior surface of said side wall; and   a liner spout disposed adjacent said bottom and extending out from said sidewall such that said liner spout extends into and through a portion of the container spout.   
     
     
         2 . A container lining device as set forth in  claim 1  wherein said bottom, sidewall and liner spout are fabricated as a unitary structure. 
     
     
         3 . A container lining device as set forth in  claim 2  including a pull tab closing said liner spout until said pull tab is removed from said liner spout. 
     
     
         4 . A container lining device as set forth in  claim 3  wherein said sidewall includes a plurality of perforated sections extending along said sidewall between said open end and said adhesive band, wherein said plurality of perforated sections can be used to create handles for removal of said container lining device from the container. 
     
     
         5 . A container lining device as set forth in  claim 4  wherein each of said plurality of perforated sections are spaced equidistantly from each other.
