A portable insulating device kit may be configured to fit within a smaller container for easier shipment. In one example, the assembly may include a base, a top wall having an opening, an inner liner configured to extend into the opening of the top wall to form an interior cavity defining a volumetric storage capacity and an exterior wall. The container can have a flat configuration defining a length, height, and width. The base, the top wall, the inner liner, and the exterior wall may be configured to be assembled into a portable insulating device. The volume of the container may be less than the volumetric storage capacity of the assembled portable insulating device, and the base, the inner liner, and the exterior wall are configured to be detached from one another and shipped in the container.

Collapsible insulating device

A portable ice barrel system composed of collapsible components configured to form a cylindrical insulation layer that also forms an opening at the top of the barrel. The base includes a grid, a disc, a rim, and a series of wheels. An inner liner extends into the opening of the cylindrical insulation layer to form an interior barrel cavity and an exterior barrel wall. The portable ice barrel may include a plurality of clips for holding the inner liner onto the cylindrical insulation layer, an expandable bladder or an insulative material injected into a gap between an inside surface of the exterior wall and an exterior surface of the expandable bladder to form an insulative layer, a plurality of sections that form an inner cylindrical insulation layer, and/or a hinged top and a hinged base that can be collapsed when deconfigured and shipped in a flat configuration.
