Abstract: An insulating container having a base and a lid is provided. The lid may be rotatable about a hinge from a closed configuration to an open configuration and may be secured, via one or more latching devices, in the closed configuration. In some examples, the insulating container further includes a pull handle assembly with a telescopic three-stage arm configuration defined by a stowed configuration, a partially extended configuration, and a fully extended configuration. In other examples, the insulating container further includes a wheel assembly with a pair of wheels mounted with one or two axles, and further including a wheel grommet for absorbing shock and cushioning the axle. In still other examples, the insulating container further includes a drain plug assembly on the rear sidewall adjacent to the bottom portion of the base, the drain plug assembly comprising a main tube that cooperatively engages with an outer tube with a plurality of ratchet teeth that engage one or more ratchet keys on the main tube.

Abstract: An orthodontic bracket assembly may include a mounting plate configured to be coupled to a tooth. A bracket member may include a single tie-wing having a superior tie-wing portion, an inferior tie-wing portion, and a slot defined between planar side walls of the superior and inferior tie-wing portions. Each of the superior and inferior tie-wing portions may include a curved surface extending at a mesial end of the tie-wing portion and a distal end of the tie-wing portion.
