Cover for a Cooler

Abstract

Present embodiments relate to a cooler cover. More specifically, but without limitation, present embodiments relate to an insulated cooler cover which may be formed into a self-container to retain the cooler cover in an enclosed configuration when not being used with a cooler.

1 . A cooler cover, comprising:
 a front side, a rear side, a top side, a first enclosure side, and a second enclosure side;   the cooler cover having a first configuration configured to cover a cooler, and a second configuration configured to form a self-container for the cooler cover;   the first enclosure side and the second enclosure side each having a fastener to:   in said first configuration, connect to at least one of said other sides to form said cover; and,   in said second configuration, connect to connect to each other to define said self-container.   
     
     
         2 . The cooler cover of  claim 1 , the top side capable of being connectable to a cooler door. 
     
     
         3 . The cooler cover of  claim 2 , said top side further comprising elastic straps and fastener structures. 
     
     
         4 . The cooler cover of  claim 2 , said top side extending over a front edge and a rear edge of said cooler door. 
     
     
         5 . The cooler cover of  claim 1 , said first enclosure side and said second enclosure side each having an aperture that allows passage of a cooler handle. 
     
     
         6 . The cooler cover of  claim 1 , said front side and said rear side each having an aperture that allows passage of a cooler handle. 
     
     
         7 . The cooler cover of  claim 1 , at least one of said front side, said rear side, said first enclosure side or said second enclosure side having a vent aperture for airflow. 
     
     
         8 . The cooler cover of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one opening for control access. 
     
     
         9 . The cooler cover of  claim 1 , said first enclosure side and said second enclosure side each having a rigid structure within a cover material. 
     
     
         10 . The cooler cover of  claim 1 , said first enclosure side and said second enclosure side each having a lip. 
     
     
         11 . The cooler cover of  claim 10 , said first enclosure side and said second enclosure side being connectable with each of said fasteners. 
     
     
         12 . The cooler cover of  claim 11 , further comprising a space between said first and second enclosure sides in said second configuration. 
     
     
         13 . The cooler cover of  claim 12 , said front side, said rear side, and said top side all being capable of folding and positioning in said space in said second configuration. 
     
     
         14 . The cooler cover of  claim 1 , further comprising a bottom side. 
     
     
         15 . The cooler cover of  claim 13 , further comprising a bottom side capable of being folded and positioned in said space. 
     
     
         16 . A cooler cover, comprising:
 a front side, a rear side, a top side, a first side enclosure, a second side enclosure, and a bottom;   a first fastener on a first one of said sides and a cooperating second fastener on a second one of said second side;   said cover being configurable to cover a cooler in a first configuration and configurable to be a self-container in a second configuration;   wherein said first side and said second side define said self-container and the remainder of said sides are dispersed within said self-container in said second configuration.
