A cooler for drink cans comprises a simple thin walled sleeve of tubular plastics material which is closed at one end and has a removable lid at the other end. The inside dimension of the sleeve is arranged so that it can receive a number of cans in stacked axially along the sleeve in end to end relationship biased by a spring presenting the cans gently one at a time at the upper end of the sleeve for removal. Between each can and the next adjacent can is a disc shaped body formed by a molded plastic defining a hollow interior for a refrigerant material. The discs have domed surfaces to improve contact with the adjacent cans. The discs can be readily stored within a freezer for charging of the refrigerant. The narrow dimensions of the sleeve enable it to be readily stored within a golf bag.

A cooler device for canned drinks comprising an elongate cylindrical sleeve having two opposed ends and a cylindrical wall consisting of single layer of an extruded plastics material which is free from foamed insulating material and having a length to receive in end to end relationship along the length of the sleeve a plurality of stacked drink cans and having a diameter relative to the diameter of a conventional can that the can is confined against side to side movement by an inner surface of the all and there is a clearance between the can and the inner surface of the wall, means closing one end of the sleeve, a lid on the other end of the sleeve so as to confine the cans within the sleeve when in place on the sleeve and removable therefrom to allow removal of the cans one at a time from the other end of the sleeve, a plurality of discs each being formed from upper and lower surfaces and a peripheral wall connecting the upper and lower surfaces which are spaced to define a hollow closed area therebetween containing a refrigerant material, the peripheral wall having a diameter substantially equal to that of a can such that it can be received within the sleeve between one can and a next adjacent can with the upper surface in contact with one can and the lower surface in contact with the next adjacent can to provide a cooling action thereon and a spring engaging said closing means and arranged to bias said plurality of stacked cans away from said one end of the sleeve toward the other end of the sleeve such that the cans are presented one at a time at said other end for removal from the sleeve.
