Abstract

A customizable cooler liner is used to prevent items stored within a cooler from soiling the cooler's storage compartment. The liner has a liner basin, flaps, perforated seams and flap fasteners. The flaps are positioned around a rim of the liner basin and function as a coupling mechanism to attach the liner to the cooler. The liner basin sits with in the storage compartment of the cooler and functions as a waterproof barrier. The perforated seams are connected in between the flaps so that the flaps and the seams form a semicontinuous flange that extends away from the rim of the liner basin and is folded over the rim of the cooler. A user is able to tear the perforated seams to remove flaps from the semicontinuous flange. Thereby enabling the semicontinuous flange to be reshaped to accommodate features of the cooler such as hinges, locks, and handles.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A customizable cooler liner comprising:
 a liner basin;   a plurality of flaps;   a plurality of perforated seams;   at least one flap fastener;   the plurality of flaps being radially mounted around a rim of the liner basin;   each of the plurality of perforated seams being connected in between an arbitrary flap and an adjacent flap, wherein the arbitrary flap and the adjacent flap are from the plurality of flaps;   the plurality of flaps and the plurality of perforated seams forming a semicontinuous flange around the rim of the liner basin;   the at flap fastener being affixed to the semicontinuous flange; and   the at flap fastener being positioned opposite to an interior compartment of the liner basin,   
     
     
         2 . The customizable cooler liner as claimed in  claim 1  comprising:
 the liner basin comprising a lateral sidewall and a base panel; 
 the lateral sidewall being perimetrically connected around the base panel; and 
 the base panel being positioned opposite to the rim across the lateral sidewall. 
 
     
     
         3 . The customizable cooler liner as claimed in  claim 1  comprising:
 the flap fastener comprising a plurality of adhesive strips; and 
 each of the plurality of adhesive strips being superimposed onto a corresponding flap from the plurality of flaps. 
 
     
     
         4 . The customizable cooler liner as claimed in  claim 3  comprising:
 the flap fastener further comprising a plurality of strip liners; and 
 each of the plurality of strip liners being superimposed onto a corresponding strip from the plurality of adhesive strips. 
 
     
     
         5 . The customizable cooler liner as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the liner basin being constructed from a water-impermeable material. 
     
     
         6 . The customizable cooler liner as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the liner basin being constructed from a heat resistant material. 
     
     
         7 . The customizable cooler liner as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the liner basin being constructed from a flexible material. 
     
     
         8 . The customizable cooler liner as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the flap fastener being an adhesive strip. 
     
     
         9 . A customizable cooler liner comprising:
 a liner basin;   a plurality of flaps;   a plurality of perforated seams;   at least one flap fastener;   the plurality of flaps being radially mounted around a rim of the liner basin;   the flap fastener comprising a plurality of adhesive strips;   each of the plurality of perforated seams being connected in between an arbitrary flap and an adjacent flap, wherein the arbitrary flap and the adjacent flap are from the plurality of flaps;   the plurality of flaps and the plurality of perforated seams forming a semicontinuous flange around the rim of the liner basin;   the at flap fastener being affixed to the semicontinuous flange;   the at flap fastener being positioned opposite to an interior compartment of the liner basin; and   each of the plurality of adhesive strips being superimposed onto a corresponding flap from the plurality of flaps.   
     
     
         10 . The customizable cooler liner as claimed in  claim 9  comprising:
 the liner basin comprising a lateral sidewall and a base panel; 
 the lateral sidewall being perimetrically connected around the base panel; and 
 the base panel being positioned opposite to the rim across the lateral sidewall. 
 
     
     
         11 . The customizable cooler liner as claimed in  claim 9  comprising:
 the flap fastener further comprising a plurality of strip liners; and 
 each of the plurality of strip liners being superimposed onto a corresponding strip from the plurality of adhesive strips. 
 
     
     
         12 . The customizable cooler liner as claimed in  claim 9  wherein the liner basin being constructed from a water-impermeable material. 
     
     
         13 . The customizable cooler liner as claimed in  claim 9  wherein the liner basin being constructed from a heat resistant material. 
     
     
         14 . The customizable cooler liner as claimed in  claim 9  wherein the liner basin being constructed from a flexible material.
