Cooler Floatation Device

Abstract

The present invention relates to a cooler floatation device comprised of a generally rectangular body comprised of a plurality of elbows and sidewalls. Each elbow and sidewall may further be comprised of a mounting eyelet that allows for a plurality of attachments to be attached to the device. In addition, the eyelets further receive securing straps, wherein the straps can be placed over the top/bottom surface of the cooler, to secure the cooler inside the device and prevent the cooler lid from opening. The interior side surfaces of the sidewalls/elbows may also be comprised of a rubber liner that protects and insulates the side surfaces of the cooler from being scratched by the sidewalls/elbows. The plurality of attachments of the device may include a handle, an anchor, a tow strap, a waterproof storage box and a foldable tray table.
