A soft sided insulated container assembly has a first insulated container portion and a second insulated container portion. The second insulated container portion can be collapsed to a flat position, and secured in place. Either of the container portions may have a liner. The liner in the first container portion may be a substantially rigid liner. The assembly may have a lifting member. In one example the second portion may be hingedly mounted to the first portion, and the lifting member may be mounted such that when the assembly is lifted, the hinge is in an up-and-down orientation. In another embodiment, the lifting member may be eccentrically mounted, such that the assembly may possibly sit more comfortably against a carrier's hip. The first container portion may have an auxiliary opening or door, and that door may be more easily opened than the main access of the first insulated container portion.

1. A soft-sided insulated container assembly comprising: a soft-sided insulated box structure having a bottom, a top, a front wall, a rear wall, a first end wall, and a second end wall, co-operatively mounted to define a thermally insulated space therewithin;said top including a closure member movable to govern access to said thermally insulated space;a lifting member mounted to said box structure, said lifting member including a shoulder strap and having a first end and a second end;said first end of said lifting member being mounted to said first end wall and said second end of said lifting member being mounted to said second end wall;when viewed looking toward said first end wall, said box structure having a centroid, there being a vertical plane passing through said centroid;said lifting first and second ends of said lifting member being mounted to said first and second end walls at respective locations upwardly of said centroid;said first and second ends of said lifting member are eccentrically biased toward said rear wall such that said shoulder strap is rooted closer to said rear wall than to said front wall. 2. The soft-sided insulated container assembly of claim 1 wherein said shoulder strap, in use, extends upwardly at an angle that is upwardly divergent from said vertical plane. 3. The soft-sided insulated container assembly of claim 1 wherein, in use when said assembly is being lifted by said shoulder strap, said shoulder strap has a centerline, and an extension of said centerline passes between said centroid and said rear wall. 4. The soft-sided insulated container assembly of claim 2 wherein when said assembly is being lifted by said shoulder strap, said shoulder strap has a centerline, and an extension of said centerline passes between said centroid and said real wall. 5. The soft-sided insulated container assembly of claim 1 wherein each of said first and second ends includes a load spreading reinforcement. 6. The soft-sided insulated container assembly of claim 5 wherein said load spreading reinforcement includes a triangular gusset having an apex located asymmetrically such that said apex lies rearwardly of said vertical plane. 7. The soft-sided insulated container assembly of claim 1 wherein said closure member is hingedly mounted along a rearward margin thereof adjacent to said rear wall. 8. The soft-sided insulated container assembly of claim 1 wherein said soft-sided insulated wall structure defines a first portion of said soft-sided insulated container assembly, and said insulated container assembly further includes a second portion of said soft-sided insulated container assembly mounted to said first portion. 9. The soft-sided insulated container assembly of claim 8 wherein said second portion is mounted to said front wall. 10. The soft-sided insulated container assembly of claim 8 wherein said second portion is collapsible. 11. The soft-sided insulated container assembly of claim 8 wherein a rigid liner is mounted within said first portion. 12. The soft-sided insulated container assembly of claim 8 wherein a rigid liner is mounted within said first portion; said second portion is mounted to said front wall; and said second portion is collapsible. 13. The soft-sided insulated container assembly of claim 8 wherein said strap, in use, extends upwardly at an angle that is upwardly divergent from said vertical plane. 14. The soft-sided insulated container assembly of claim 8 wherein when said assembly is being lifted by said strap, said strap has a centerline, and an extension of said centerline passes between said centroid and said rear wall. 15. The soft-sided insulated container assembly of claim 14 wherein, in use when said assembly is being lifted by said strap, said strap has a centerline, and an extension of said centerline passes between said centroid and said real wall. 16. The soft-sided insulated container assembly of claim 8 wherein each of said first and second ends includes a load spreading reinforcement. 17. The soft-sided insulated container assembly of claim 16 wherein said load spreading reinforcement includes a triangular gusset having an apex located asymmetrically such that said apex lies rearwardly of said vertical plane. 18. The soft-sided insulated container assembly of claim 8 wherein said closure member is hingedly mounted along a rearward margin thereof adjacent to said rear wall. 19. The soft-sided insulated container assembly of claim 8 wherein: said closure member is hingedly mounted along a rearward margin thereof adjacent to said rear wall;said second portion is mounted to said front wall;said second portion is collapsible; andwhen said assembly is being lifted by said strap, said strap has a centerline, and an extension of said centerline passes between said centroid and said rear wall. 20. The insulated container assembly of claim 8 wherein: said first insulated container portion has a length and a breadth and a depth, said length being greater than said depth, and said depth being greater than said breadth;said bottom has a predominantly rectangular plan form, said rectangular plan form having a pair of first and second generally opposed long sides running predominantly lengthwise, and a pair of first and second generally opposed short sides running breadthwise;said first panel has a periphery;said first insulated container portion has an insulated peripheral wall mounted about said first panel, said peripheral wall having first and second long sides defining said front and rear walls, and first and second short sides defining said first and second end walls, said peripheral wall extending away from said first panel depthwise, and each of said long sides and short sides having an upper margin portion distant from said first panel, said margin portions co-operatively defining an upper margin of said peripheral wall structure;said top having a predominantly rectangular plan form has a pair of first and second long sides, and a pair of first and second short sides;said top being hingedly mounted to said margin of said rear wall along said upper margin portion thereof;said top being movable between a closed position and an open position relative to said peripheral wall;a first closure operable releasably to secure said top in said closed position;said front wall defining a back wall of said second insulated container portion;said second insulated container portion being movable from a collapsed position to an expanded position, and said container assembly including members operable releasably to secure said second insulated container portion in said collapsed position;said second insulated container portion having a predominantly rectangular front wall standing predominantly opposite said back wall, and having side portions adjoining said front and back walls;said second insulated container portion having a closure member operable to govern access thereto; andsaid lifting member having a center of lift closer to said margin portion of said second long side portion than to said margin portion of said first long side portion.
