Patent number: 11930944Abstract: An insulating container can be configured to retain a volume of liquid, and include a canister having a first inner wall having a first end having an opening extending into an internal reservoir, and a second outer wall forming an outer shell. The opening can be sealed by a spout adapter, the spout adapter having an internal passageway extending between the internal reservoir and a spout opening, which may be smaller than the opening of the canister. The spout opening may be sealed with an upper cap that has a magnetic top surface. The upper cap may be selectively coupled to seal the spout opening, or may be magnetically coupled to a magnetic docking surface of a docking structure on the spout adapter.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: YETI Coolers, LLCInventors: Steve Charles Nichols, Evan Goldberg, Edward Abante

Publication number: 20240059475Abstract: An insulating container can be configured to retain a volume of liquid, and include a canister having a first inner wall having a first end having an opening extending into an internal reservoir, and a second outer wall forming an outer shell. The opening can be sealed by a spout adapter, the spout adapter having a spout channel extending between the internal reservoir and a spout opening, smaller than the opening of the canister. The spout opening may be sealed with a cap having a magnetic top surface, and the spout adapter may be further removably coupled to a lid that may be used as a cup into which a volume of the liquid can be poured.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: John Alan Tolman, Steve Charles Nichols, Edward Abante

In addition, spout adapter assembly with an adapter that releasably attaches to the canister and a plug that is received within the adapter that moves to place the spout adapter assembly into an open and a closed orientation. The plug may have a means to provide tactile feedback to a user that the spout adapter assembly is in an optimal pouring condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Dustin Bullock, Steve Charles Nichols, Edward Abante, Evan Goldberg
