Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to an insulating device, for example a cooler, and a latch and latching system for securing a lid of the insulating device in a closed position. More specifically, the insulating device includes a chest coupled to a lid, and a ledge extending from the chest. A slot is formed in the ledge and for each slot, a pair of protrusions extend from a bottom surface of the ledge on other side of the slot. The protrusions are received by corresponding recesses formed in the latch. Thus, when the latch is in the engaged position, the protrusions are physically securely engaged in the recesses by virtue of the latch being in a tensioned configuration.

Claim (Index 8):
An insulating container system, comprising:\n a chest, the chest including a bottom having a peripheral edge and at least one peripheral wall that extends from the bottom along the peripheral edge to delineate an interior of the chest, the chest having an opening at a top thereof, the top opposed across a height of the chest from the bottom of the chest, the at least one peripheral wall having a front with a ledge that extends outwardly from the front, the ledge having at least one slot and, for each of the at least one slot, at least one recess spaced from the respective slot; a lid coupled to the chest for movement between a closed position and an open position, in the closed position the lid covering the opening of the chest to seal the interior of the chest from an exterior thereof and in the open position at least a portion of the lid spaced from the opening to provide access to the interior of the chest from the exterior thereof; and at least one latch, the at least one latch being elastically stretchable from a relaxed configuration to a tensioned configuration and movable between an engaged position and a disengaged position, the at least one latch having a handle and at least one protrusion, in the engaged position the at least one latch being in the tensioned configuration and securely coupling a front portion of the lid in the closed position to the chest, and in the disengaged position releasing the front portion of the lid from the chest to allow the lid to move to the open position, the at least one recess sized to physically securely engage complimentary ones of the at least one protrusion when the latch is in the engaged position and under tension from elastic deformation in the tensioned configuration.
