Publication number: 20230406603Abstract: A system for holding multiple beverage containers may include a cooler or carrier with toting handles, closing tabs, and base. The base may be formed from a molded plastic, rubber or synthetic rubber material. The base may also include feet that hold the base a sufficient height from the ground. The base may have a generally conic tapering drain floor that makes up its top surface. The tapering drain floor may make draining the carrier easier by directing water toward a drain hole located in the base. Extending up from the base may be a multi-layer soft-sided wall where different layers perform different desired functions. For example, an inside layer closest to the internal cavity may be a waterproof layer, a middle layer may be an insulating layer, and an external layer may be a decorative layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Russell W.

Patent number: 11649018Abstract: A pole light and base system that includes a pole light base configured to be secured to a gunwale of a watercraft. In practice, the pole light base might include a pole light tube and a female Universal Serial Bus connector. The pole light tube may have electrical contacts configured to engage respective electrical contacting portions of an all around light pole if an all around light pole is inserted into the pole light tube. In some cases, the system might include the all around light pole and light. The electrical contacts of the tube might include a positive contact electrically coupled to a first wire and a negative contact electrically coupled to a second wire. The first and second wire may be designed to connect directly to a 12 Volt watercraft battery. They may also connect to a boat fuse box that is connected to a battery.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2022Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: LIGHTBULB INNOVATION, LLCInventor: Russell W. White

Publication number: 20220338443Abstract: A feed timer and control system and method are disclosed. In practice, a feed and control system might include a memory that maintains a feeding schedule, which may include a first feed setting with a start time that is related to a sunrise time for a given location and a feeding duration time. The system may also include a switch that is configured to close a connection between a power source and a motor at the start time. In practice, the switch may remain closed for an amount of time that is the same or nearly the same as the feeding duration time. The memory and the switch may be located within an enclose at least partially defined by a housing component of the system. In operation, the switch may be electrically connected to the motor and the power source even though the motor and the power source may be located outside the enclosure at least partially defined by the housing component.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2022Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventor: Russell W.
