  • Publication number: 20230301412
    Abstract: A bag arrangement may include a first side panel; a second side panel opposite the first side panel; a front panel extending between the first side panel and the second side panel; a bottom panel extending between the front panel, the first side panel, and the second side panel; and a suit panel extending from the bottom panel to the front panel and between the first side panel and the second side panel. The suit panel may be detachably mounted to the first side panel, the second side panel, and the front panel. When the suit panel is mounted to the first side panel, the second side panel, and the front panel, the bag arrangement defines a first storage space. The suit panel may include a suiter fold configured to extend from an interior surface of the suit panel. The suiter fold may define a second storage space.

  • Patent number: 10619346
    Abstract: An insulation batt includes a first stiffening layer, a lever hingedly attached to a front panel of the first stiffening layer; an insulation layer coupled to the first stiffening layer; and a second stiffening layer defining an inner surface, the inner surface coupled to the insulation layer; and wherein the insulation batt is selectively reconfigurable about and between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration, a distance defined between the first stiffening layer and the second stiffening layer, the distance being greater in the expanded configuration than in the collapsed configuration, the lever engaging the inner surface of the second stiffening layer and holding the first stiffening layer and the second stiffening layer apart in the expanded configuration.

  • Patent number: 10138628
    Abstract: A method of installing an insulation batt can include expanding an insulation layer of insulation batt between a first stiffening layer and a second stiffening layer of the insulation batt; and placing the insulation batt in an insulation cavity. A connector can couple the first stiffening layer to the second stiffening layer. The connector can include a first elongated connection panel and a second elongated connection panel, and expanding the insulation can include folding the first elongated connection panel relative to the first stiffening layer and folding the second elongated connection panel relative to the second stiffening layer. The method can further include engaging a mounting tab of the insulation batt with a wall of the insulation cavity to position the insulation batt in the insulation cavity.
