Ice-King: Iceless Cooler System



Introduction


A modernization of the age old ‘camping style’ food and beverage storage cooler. The Ice-King is a storage device that needs no ice cubes and can be partitioned off resulting in differing configurations. It is great for camping or weekend getaways.

The idea for the Ice-king cube-less cooler system is based on the fact that consumers want more flexibility out of their storage coolers and more options to configure it for maximum storage usage.

Generally, when stored for a period of days, cheese, bread and other foods become soggy and mushy after floating in the cool water from the melted ice.

Ice-King offers solutions to many of these problems.

Overview


The Ice-King cube-less cooler system is a revolution of conventional storage coolers and offers the consumer several different options when it comes to food and beverage storage.

The system is primarily based around re-freezable, gel-filled, pre-formed plastic inserts that fit into special ‘tracks’ mounted in the cooler. In addition to its’ cooling benefits, the center insert can also serve as a partition to bisect the cooler’s storage compartment. This allows the user to utilize one side for food storage (using the cube-less system) while using the other side for traditional ‘iced down’ beverage storage. An additional option for the consumer would be to completely remove the inserts and use the cooler in a more conventional way.

Special grates (Dry Grates) fit into the bottom of the cooler and keep food out of the melted ice thereby helping to preserve freshness.

When freezing the inserts they are simply folded up and stacked into a home freezer thereby occupying the smallest amount of space possible.

Additionally, the Ice-King system comes with pre-formed plastic storage containers that are also filled with a re-freezable gel. This additional method of cooling and storage will help keep food it’s coldest without the consumer having to resort to the use of ice cubes.

The containers are designed to be stacked one inside of the other while freezing in order to also use smallest amount of freezer space possible.


Marketing/Price Point


The system will be marketed in sizes (small, medium, large) which result in different prices depending on the consumers desire/ability to store the inserts for freezing and the amount of money they want to spend on the system.

Small- small cooler, inserts, dry grates, some food storage containers
Medium- medium cooler, inserts, dry grates, more food storage containers
King- large cooler, inserts, dry grates, many food storage containers
