Patent number: 11767157Abstract: 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. This construction results in an insulating chamber that is substantially impervious to water and other liquids when the closure is sealed.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2021Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: YETI Coolers, LLCInventors: Roy Joseph Seiders, Christopher M. Keller, Derek G. Sullivan, Erik Steven Larson, Alex Baires, Andrew M. Bosway, Karl Fritzsche, Laura Flores

Publication number: 20220232744Abstract: A wearable signal blocking device and method is provided. The wearable signal blocking device comprises a flexible sheet configured to be worn by a user and a panel defining a cavity for receiving an electronic device and at least partially obscuring a signal therefrom. The wearable signal blocking method comprises the steps of providing a flexible sheet having a panel disposed diagonally to a first corner between a first side and a second side thereof; inserting the electronic device into the cavity; rolling the panel and the first corner once or more toward a third corner of the flexible sheet; folding a second corner and a fourth corner of the flexible sheet inward toward the panel; and rolling the panel once or more into the third corner.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2021Publication date: July 21, 2022Inventors: Graham Dugoni, Natalie Serle, Karl Fritzsche, Blake Maurer, Katie Lee, Dan Nicholson, Benjamin Weatherhead, Wesley Hare, Paul Backett
