  • Patent number: 8123236
    Abstract: A universal transport device that comprises two wheels and interconnected straps for securing and mobilizing a standard, non-wheeled cooler. The two wheels are connected via a stabilizing bar, and are secured under a cooler using a series of connecting straps. The stabilizing bar provides separation of the wheels and support for the cooler load during transport. The straps are adjustable connections around the exterior of the cooler, and comprise a main strap and two or more additional adjoining straps which work to encompass the exterior of the cooler and keep it firmly in place on the stabilizing bar. A handle is secured to the straps to allow a user to tilt and pull the cooler without bending over.

  • Publication number: 20110185474
    Abstract: A transparent foot covering that provides a hygienic barrier between the wearer and a supporting surface. The covering is a one-piece structure with an open end and a closed end, suitable for quick application and removal. An elastic band around the open end ensures the covering stays fixed to the wearer's foot while in use. The covering provides protection from non-hygienic surfaces and as well as visual transparency required for airport security checks. Mold, germs and floor fungi are prevented from contacting the wearer, while the transparency provides airport personnel the ability to visually inspect the wearer's feet while passing through security checkpoints.
