Patent number: 12378058Abstract: An insulating container having a base insulating structure and lid insulating structure that when closed, enclose an internal storage compartment. The base insulating structure has a base cavity enclosed by a base outer shell structure and a base inner wall structure. The lid insulating structure is pivotally attached to the base insulating structure and has a lid cavity enclosed by a lid outer shell structure and a lid inner wall structure. The base cavity includes a base insulating portion and the lid cavity includes a lid insulating portion. Each of the base insulating portion and the lid insulating portion include at least one vacuum insulated panel.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2021Date of Patent: August 5, 2025Assignee: YETI Coolers, LLCInventors: Roy Joseph Seiders, Christopher M. Keller, Edward Abante, Dustin Bullock, Matthew Neeley, Mark Carlson Rane, James William Sonntag, Dennis Zuck

Patent number: 12269666Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: November 1, 2023Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: YETI Coolers, LLCInventors: John Alan Tolman, Steve Charles Nichols, Edward Abante

Publication number: 20240172884Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2024Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventors: Steve Charles Nichols, Evan Goldberg, Edward Abante
