Abstract

A nesting system for securing a container is disclosed. The nesting system comprises: a cooler having a base having a bottom plate portion with at least one protrusion extending down from the bottom plate portion and a hole formed through the at least one protrusion orthogonal to the vertical axis; a nesting platform having a bottom plate and a vertical wall extending up from the bottom plate; a spring-loaded pin attached to the vertical wall, the spring-loaded pin having a spring and a pin and configured to take a receded pin position when the spring is compressed and an extended pin position when the spring is at equilibrium, wherein the receded pin position allows the at least one protrusion extending down from the bottom plate portion to engage the nesting platform, and the extended pin position allows the pin extending at least partially through the hole.

Abstract

A system to hold a beverage is disclosed. The system includes a beverage container having a top portion, a bottom portion having a generally polygonal cross-section, rigid exterior and interior walls, a void formed between the rigid exterior wall and the rigid interior wall, and an interior volume at least partially formed by the rigid interior wall. The system also includes a resealable opening, and a removable lid. The system further includes a magnetic component formed into a circumferential pattern at a cross-section of the beverage container. The system may also include a cup having rigid cup exterior and interior walls, a cup void formed between the rigid cup exterior wall and the rigid cup interior wall, and a cup interior volume at least partially formed by the rigid interior wall, where the cup includes a cup magnetic component secured within the cup void.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

A nesting system for securing a container is disclosed. The container could be a soft-sided backpack style cooler. Such a system may include a cooler with a sidewall, a top, a base, a vertical axis extending from the base to the top, and an insulated interior region. The base may have a bottom plate portion with at least one protrusion extending down from bottom plate portion and one or more holes formed through protrusion orthogonal to the vertical axis. The protrusion could be a wall that extends downward from the bottom plate portion of the base around the entire perimeter of the base. In addition, the protrusion could have an irregular profile with feet that extends further down then the rest of the wall. The system may also include a nesting platform with a bottom tray and a vertical wall extending up from the bottom tray. The bottom tray and vertical wall may be sized to allow the base to fit within tray and vertical wall. In addition, a spring-loaded pin may be attached to the vertical wall and configured to take a receded pin position when the spring is compressed and an extended pin position when the spring is at equilibrium. A receded pin position might be one that allows a protrusion from the base of the container, which could be a cooler, to engage with the nesting platform such that holes formed through the base are aligned with the spring-loaded pins. In so doing, the spring-loaded pins may be released and capable of assuming an extended pin position in which the pins extend at least partially through holes and effectively secure the container and its base to the nesting platform.

Abstract

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, nylon, 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 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. Within the cooler or carrier may be one or more silos with a mating plug within the silo. The silo may be generally cylindrical in shape and configured to accept a beverage container in a manner that allow a beverage within the container to be accessed from outside the cooler.
