Patent number: 8701929Abstract: The improved portable gas can includes adjustable legs along a bottom surface, which aid in stabilizing the gas can on a floor of a vehicle while in transit. The gas can includes an extension leg that is also located on the bottom surface, and which is able to secure the gas can by engaging between the truck bed surface and the tail gate. The extension leg is comprises of a lateral member and a second member pivotably engaged thereto. The second member of the extension leg is configured to extends and engage in between the truck bed and tail gate of a truck thereby securing the gas can in place while in transit. The gas can further includes a recess handle along a front surface as well as a handle positioned atop of the gas can to aid in manipulating and carrying the gas can.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2013Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Inventors: Cheri Long, Jerry Long

Publication number: 20140096415Abstract: A footwear system with a swiveling heel operable to facilitate access for adorning footwear. The heel swivels or detaches to allow facilitated access to an interior portion of the footwear. The heel joins with a body of the footwear at a hinge. The hinge allows the heel and the body to rotate or swivel relative to each other about a fixed axis of rotation. The heel rotates around the hinge in a substantially horizontal direction. The heel swivels away from the body to form an open position, and then secures back to the body to form a closed position. Fasteners secure the rotating free end of the heel to the body portion. A pad portion at least partially covers the fasteners and the hinge to provide comfort while adorning the footwear. Straps extend from the heel to join with the fasteners on the body portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2013Publication date: April 10, 2014Inventor: Jerry Long
