An insulating device may include a body comprising an outer shell, an insulating layer and aerogel structure adjacent to the outer shell, and an inner liner secured to the outer shell. The aerogel structure may comprise skiving features that extend from a surface of the aerogel structure to a mid-point width of the aerogel structure and may be configured to facilitate folding of the aerogel structure.

The disclosure provides an article of luggage including one or more receptacles. The receptacles may receive beverage containers, food and food containers, or mobile devices. The receptacles may be integrated into the luggage or selectively removable from the luggage. Blank plugs may be inserted into the receptacle openings and secured via a latch mechanism. The receptacles may also be secured with the latch mechanism. Seals are provided to prevent water, dirt, or debris from entering the luggage and securing the contents of the luggage.

Fastening patches with fastening material (VELCRO, 3M DUAL LOCK) on both surfaces each include a column with outwardly extending tabs. Fastening patches secure to a backing layer and the tabs of fastening patches may secure to one another to form loops for securing items. The backing layer may include fastening material for securing to an inner surface of luggage. The arrangement of the tabs may correspond to the MOLLE or PALS standard. Fastening patches may include smaller anchor tabs at the top and bottom of the column and be secured to luggage without stitching.

A musical instrument carrying case having a receptacle and a lid is disclosed herein. The carrying case has a hinge that allows the lid to rotate around behind the receptacle to create an instrument stand. The hinge has at least four plates and three axles, including a free axle that permits the hinge to collapse together, resulting in a shortened distance between the lid and receptacle when in an open position.

A modular personal storage system can include a personal storage container that can include a first outer wall including a paramagnetic metal or a diamagnetic metal, a second outer wall including the paramagnetic metal or the diamagnetic metal, where the second outer wall is positioned opposite to and spaced apart from the first outer wall to define a container volume between the first outer wall and the second outer wall. At least two permanent magnetic elements can be spaced apart from one another and at least partially located within the container volume.

A device having a first container and a second container that is convertible between a primary configuration and a secondary configuration. Each container having a primary face (with primary access structure for accessing the interior of the container when the device is in the primary configuration) and a secondary face (with secondary access structure for accessing the interior of the container when the device is in the secondary configuration). A first mateable half and a second mateable half of an openable-closeable connection are connectable to secure the containers in either a primary configuration or a secondary configuration. Preferably, contents within the containers may remain during conversion between the primary configuration and the secondary configuration. A method for converting a device between the primary configuration and the secondary configuration.

A composite case for a computing device comprising a first portion to protect and detachably connect to a display portion. The first portion may have perimetral fasteners disposed on its edges. A second portion is for protecting and detachably connecting to an input device portion of the computing device. The second portion may have perimetral fasteners disposed on its edges. The display and input device portions can be detachably connected to each other through a multi-pivot hinge unit operable to rotate about one or more computing device axes defined between the display and input device portions to move the computing device between open and closed states. A hinge cover portion can be connected to the first portion operable to detachably receive and surround the multi-pivot hinge of the computing device. A protective shell can be formed between first and second portions.

Various embodiments of the disclosure relate to, e.g., a case of a wearable electronic device wearable on a human body portion. According to certain embodiments of the disclosure, there may be provided an electronic device case for storing a wearable electronic device comprising a case housing forming a space for receiving the wearable electronic device, a conductive supporting member disposed in the case housing, and a contact member disposed in the space for receiving the wearable electronic device and exposed to an exterior when the case housing is opened, electrically connected with the conductive supporting member, and configured to at least partially contact a conductive portion of the wearable electronic device. Other various embodiments are also possible.

A food container including a receptacle defining a first storage volume and a second storage volume, a cover configured to be secured to the receptacle, and a gas diversion system located between the first storage volume and the second storage volume when the cover is secured to the receptacle.
