A vent is provided on the lower portion of a tent. The lower portion is formed of a water-repellent material, and mesh material is provided at an upper portion of the tent. The vent may or may not use the stay described above. A flexible stay is also provided for a tent or canopy. The flexible stay is connected to upper and lower sections of a vent, and is formed of a construction that is resilient enough to support the vent during use, but is flexible enough so that the vent may be collapsed during storage.

A tent pole holder includes a first end, a second end, a handle, a partially-cylindrical extension, and an engagement mechanism. The second end may be connected to the first end by a mid-section. The handle may extend between the mid-section and the first end and may have at least one slot. The partially-cylindrical extension may extend between the mid-section and the second end. The engagement mechanism may be located between the mid-section and the second end. The engagement mechanism may include an o-ring recessed in a groove formed along the partially-cylindrical extension. As the partially-cylindrical extension is inserted into a tubular end of the tent pole, the engagement mechanism engages the tent pole. A tent pole foot assembly includes a tent pole, a tent pole holder, and a strap attaching the tent pole holder to a tent through the at least one slot on the handle.

An insulated container is provided that utilizes Stirling cooler technology. The insulated container and the Stirling cooler may include a self-contained, portable power source. Controls are provided for operating the Stirling cooler. The controls may include a temperature sensor for a compartment of the insulated container, and a speed control for the Stirling cooler. The controls may additionally include an overheat sensor for the Stirling cooler. As part of the controls for the Stirling cooler, a control panel may be provided as a graphical user interface for a user to control operation of the Stirling cooler. A low voltage indicator may be provided. In addition, a voltage sensor and a voltage reducer may be provided for determining whether voltage provided to the Stirling cooler is too high and for reducing the voltage to the Stirling cooler

A collapsible table includes an integrated storage space for folding chairs. The storage space is formed by an open frame base that is not enclosed with side panels or a floor panel. The open frame configuration thus prevents the accumulation of rain water inside the storage area and makes the table better suited for outdoor recreational use. The table includes a center leaf having an opening into which a table umbrella may be inserted to shade users from sun and rain. Rubber bumpers may be placed along one of the sides of the table to allow a user to store the table on that side without fear of damaging the table, providing a user with more choices as far as storage space is concerned. Side leaves are also included and designed to releasably lock in the folded position, facilitating transportation and storage without the threat of the leaves swinging open unexpectedly.

An insulated container is provided with a handle assembly which includes a pivoting handle and a reinforcing back-up plate. The container includes an outer casing, an inner liner, and foam insulation between the casing and the liner. The handle is pivotally mounted in a recess in the casing by a pair of support brackets which are positioned in the space between the casing and the liner before the space is filled with foam insulation. Each bracket includes a pin which extends through the wall of the casing into the handle and a reinforcing plate which extends along the inner surface of the casing behind the handle.

A dry cell air pump that provides in excess of ten inches water column in pressure. A motor is used that draws fewer amps than prior art motors, yet operates at higher revolutions per minute. The small motor is capable of providing a high speed of rotation with relatively low torque, especially in comparison to prior art motors. To offset the low torque, a high efficiency fan is provided that rotates at high speeds, yet produces high air volume and pressure with reduced turbulence. The fan includes upper and lower walls enclosing the blades for the fan. The upper and lower walls minimize turbulence and maximize efficiency of the fan, providing a maximal tip velocity of the fan and thus increased pressure for the dry cell air pump. The fan includes a series of dimples along its upper surface that reduce back flow in the fan housing.

An extruded, seamless and weld-free, loop of flexible material for use as a coil in an airbed. The extruded coil provides more strength and no weak points for coils, and thus a more stable, durable, airbed. In addition, the process of using an extruded coil allows for less manufacturing deviation, and thus a more consistently durable airbed. The extruded coils may be textured inside and out to allow for ease of assembly, and to keep the coils from sticking during inflation and deflation of the product.
