Abstract: A backpack cooler comprised of a flexible exterior defined by flexible opposing front and back panels, a pair of side panels, a bottom panel and a top gable style closure to provide access to the interior is disclosed. The back panel includes a pair of straps secured to the top and bottom portion thereto for permitting the cooler to be worn on a person's back. The bottom panel is provided with molded feet in order to provide stability and prevent tipping of the cooler when placed on a flat surface. The gable style closure includes magnets at the opening to close the opening, forming a fin that is foldable to be parallel with the top of the cooler to provide a low profile, and to further prevent air from being exchanged with the air inside of the cooler.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a modular building structure that can be used for storage in a yard or the like. It comprises a plurality of sidewall panels and roofing panels.

Abstract: The invention involves a system and method for constructing lawn furniture. The system includes box type beam members as well as a large box structure supported above a ground surface. The box structure provides rigidity and stability to the furniture while also functioning as storage space. The components are formed to ship in a dissembled compact state and snap together with minimal use of fasteners and tools.

Abstract: A receptacle including a body configured to receive refuse items and a mated handle is disclosed. The handle includes a base plate and a gripping portion connected by one or more sidewalls. The back side of said base plate contains a projection to allow the handle to mate with the body of the receptacle. The projection includes two regions offset from each other so that, when the body of the receptacle is formed by blow molding, the body can fill around the projection, thereby securely attaching the two. The handle can further include a cinch so that if a liner is used within the body of the receptacle, there is a place to tie it off on the handle. Multiple handles can be mated to a single receptacle body.
