Single-walled Disposable Cooler Made Of Disposable, Biodegradable And/or Recyclable Material
A single-walled disposable cooler can include: a body including a base and a plurality of support walls coupled to the base, the plurality of support walls and the base defining an interior cavity of the body, and the plurality of support walls extending upwardly from the base to form an opening at an upper terminus of the body in fluid communication with the interior cavity; and a lid configured to reversibly couple with the body, the lid shaped to cover the opening of the body. The body can be made entirely of a pulp-based material.
Claim CLM-00001. 1. A single-walled disposable cooler comprising:
a body including a base and a plurality of support walls coupled to the base, at least one of the plurality of support walls including an entirely planar surface, the plurality of support walls and the base defining an interior cavity of the body, and the plurality of support walls extending upwardly from the base to form an opening at an upper terminus of the body in fluid communication with the interior cavity; and a lid configured to reversibly couple with the body, the lid shaped to at least substantially cover the opening of the body, wherein the body is made entirely of a disposable, biodegradable and/or recyclable material.
Claim CLM-00022. 22. A method for manufacturing a single-walled disposable cooler comprising:
forming, using a pulp-based material, a body including a base and a plurality of support walls coupled to the base, such that at least one of the plurality of support walls includes an entirely planar surface, the plurality of support walls and the base define an interior cavity of the body, and the plurality of support walls extend upwardly from the base to form an opening at an upper region of the body in fluid communication with the interior cavity; and forming a lid configured to reversibly couple with the body, such that the lid is shaped to cover the opening of the body.
Claim CLM-00023. 23. A cooler comprising:
a single-walled disposable shell made entirely of a pulp-based material, the shell including:
a body including a base and a plurality of support walls coupled to the base, at least one of the plurality of support walls including an entirely planar surface, the plurality of support walls and the base defining an interior cavity of the body, and the plurality of support walls extending upwardly from the base to form an opening at an upper region of the body in fluid communication with the interior cavity; and
a lid configured to reversibly couple with the body, the lid shaped to cover the opening of the body, wherein the lid is formed so as to fit inside of upper ends of the plurality of support walls, and formed with one or more cup holders disposed on a top portion thereof.
