Modular cooler assembly with lid having integral drawer

Abstract

A modular cooler assembly that includes: a cooler base, where the cooler base defines an insulated housing; a lid, where the lid covers the cooler base; and a carrying case. The insulated housing defines a receptacle with a closed bottom, closed sides and an open top, wherein the lid defines a planar body sized to cover the open top of the insulated housing to form an enclosure. The lid is hingedly attached to the insulated housing, adapted to hinge between an enclosure position and a flipped position. The lid may further include a pull out drawer, a pair of flip drawer locks and a drawer handle.

What is claimed is:
