  • Patent number: 10066863
    Abstract: An exemplary modular cooler system is provided that includes couplings that may, in one embodiment, be implemented as integrated or interfaced receptacles and corresponding inserts that allow accessory items to couple with an insulated compartment, which may be referred to as a “wet box”, and used as an insulated cooler that holds ice. The accessories may include, for example, a second compartment or “dry box” for holding items that need to be kept dry, a fishing rod holder, a shelf, a cutting board, a cup holder, a chair or seating platform, one or more dollies, or virtually any needed accessory. In one embodiment the thermal properties of the insulated compartment are enhanced with the use of one or more radiant barrier members, such as one positioned adjacent the lid of the insulated compartment.

  • Publication number: 20170164731
    Abstract: A workstation including a first sidewall having a first edge and a second edge. A second sidewall having a first edge and a second edge is spaced apart from the first sidewall. The workstation further includes a desk configured to support the first sidewall and the second sidewall. The desk is a desk movable between a first height and a second height and has a planar upper surface. A panel angled relative to the upper surface of the desk is coupled to the first sidewall and the second sidewall. An opening is formed by the first sidewall, the second sidewall, the planar upper surface, and the panel. The first and second sidewalls are angled so that the first edge of the first sidewall and the first edge of the second sidewall are closer together than the second edge of the first sidewall and the second edge of the second sidewall.
