  • Publication number: 20210039846
    Abstract: A lid can include a lid body having an opening and locking projection and a flip cover may include a flip cover flange where the flip cover can be configured to cover the opening. A release mechanism can include a latching mechanism for receiving the flange of the flip cover to secure the flip cover in the closed position. A locking slider may include an arm having a distal end that can be configured to interfere with the locking projection of the lid body to prevent the release mechanism from rotating and releasing the flip cover. The locking slider can be displaced such that the distal end of the arm moves away from the locking projection of the lid body and the release mechanism is permitted to move the latching mechanism away from the flip cover flange and the flip cover can be moved into an open position.

  • Publication number: 20200399028
    Abstract: An insulating container having a base and a lid is provided. The lid may be rotatable about a hinge from a closed configuration to an open configuration and may be secured, via one or more latching devices, in the closed configuration. In some examples, the insulating container further includes a pressure regulation device. In other examples, the latching devices further include an elastomeric latch upper and a semi-rigid latch lower configured to engage an insulating container keeper when the when the lid is in a closed and a secured position. In still other examples, the latch upper and the latch lower are configured in a recessed position, and flush with a front side of the insulating container lid and flush with a front side of a bottom portion of the insulating container when the latch device secures the lid in a closed position.

  • Publication number: 20200346840
    Abstract: An insulating device can include an aperture having a waterproof closure which allows access to the chamber within the insulating device. The closure can help prevent any fluid leakage into and out of the insulating device if the insulating device is overturned or in any configuration other than upright. The closure may also prevent any fluid from permeating into the chamber if the insulating device is exposed to precipitation, other fluid, or submersed under water. The insulating device may include a back panel support structure and shoulder straps allowing the device to be worn as a backpack. This construction results in an insulating chamber that is substantially impervious to water and other liquids when the closure is sealed.

  • Publication number: 20200346085
    Abstract: Embodiments of bag having an adjustable carrying strap system and methods to manufacture such a bag are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the adjustable carrying strap system includes a plurality of carrying straps configured to be coupled to a bag at one end and a connector plate at the opposite end thereof to provide a self-centering capability to the bag, such as a golf bag. The connector plate comprises an arc region and an apex region opposite the arc region and defines a first arc slot and a second arc slot in the arc region and a first straight slot and a second straight slot within the apex region. In some embodiments, the connector plate defines a center slot defined between the first and second arc slots and the first and second straight slots.
