20190378432 · 2019-12-12 ·

People facing emergencies, such as disasters, may not receive external assistance in a timely manner, instead having to rely on themselves for critical or extended periods. A system including emergency response containers providing both for organizational structure, including a method of assigning roles to available individuals, and task domain knowledge for organizational elements, namely the people facing and experiencing the emergency, allows for organic emergency response and eases transition to and effectiveness of external professional emergency response providers. In some embodiments the system is modular and adjustable for different situations.

A LOCK TO HOLD A COOLER LID IN AN OPEN POSITION, AND RELATED METHODS AND SYSTEMS
20190331391 · 2019-10-31 · ·

A cooler for holding ice and other items includes a body defining a cavity operable to hold ice and other items, a lid, and a lock operable to hold the lid in an open position. The body has a first region that defines an opening and a second region. The lid is coupled with the second region of the body, and positionable to a closed position and to an open position. The lock includes a first component that extends from the body's second region, and a second component that extends from the lid. The first component and the second component are each configured to contact each other, when the lid is in the open position, to prevent the lid from moving toward the closed position, and to allow the lid to move toward the open position, when the lid is in the closed position.
