  • Patent number: 12533434
    Abstract: A container apparatus includes an enclosure and a light assembly. The enclosure defines an interior area for storing items therein, and has an interior surface facing the interior area and at least one substantially concave recess formed in the interior surface forming a recessed portion of the interior surface. The substantially concave recess can be sized and shaped to receive and releasably retain the light assembly therein. The light assembly comprises a light emitting device and can be substantially flush with a non-recessed portion of the interior surface when positioned in the substantially concave recess. The light emitting device emits ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 100 to 280 nanometers.

  • Publication number: 20250251124
    Abstract: A container apparatus can include a container and an insert assembly. The insert assembly can include four elongate members. The four elongate members can include light emitting devices for illuminating the interior of the container and/or temperature altering elements for cooling and/or heating the interior of the container. The container can have a rectangular base and a rectangular sidewall extending upwardly from the base. The sidewall can define four corners of the container, and four elongate recesses can be formed in the sidewall proximate the four corners of the sidewall to receive the elongate light members. The recesses can be sized and shaped to conform to the elongate insert members so that the insert members can be releasably retained within the elongate recesses.

  • Patent number: 12326296
    Abstract: A temperature regulating apparatus can comprise a housing, an intake fan, an outlet fan, and one or more canisters containing a pressurized cooling gas, such as carbon dioxide, freon, nitrogen, difluoroethane, trifluoroethane, or tetrafluoroethane, positioned within the housing. The inlet fan draws warm air from outside of the housing into the housing through vent openings formed in the housing. Cooling gas is released from the canisters when a temperature sensing device detects the ambient temperature is above a predetermined desired temperature, and the outlet fan blows cooled air out of the housing through the vent openings, whereby the ambient temperature outside of the housing can be cooled to the predetermined desired temperature.

  • Patent number: 12270532
    Abstract: An illumination apparatus can include a light assembly having a housing section and an attachment section. At least one light emitting device is contained within the housing section. The attachment assembly can include a substantially flat base section and an attachment member extending outwardly from the base section. The attachment section of the light assembly can define a recess having a size and shape that is complementary to the attachment member of the attachment assembly, such that the light assembly and the attachment assembly can be releasably attached to each other by complementary frictional engagement of the attachment member of the attachment assembly and the attachment section of the light assembly when the attachment member is positioned within the attachment section.
