Patent of the Week!

Snow is just around the corner, which means the hills will be filling up with kids sledding!  Check out one of the original patented sleds from 1939 .. looks like it could take flight if you hit the right bump!!  Follow the link to view the patent filed by J M Forbes.

Unusual Patent of the Week

Christmas tradition is lost with this invention .. a pop-up tree that at the push of a button springs to life.  Sounds interesting until you read that it is just printed fabric on a wire cone that is supposed to look like a decorated tree  ...  And to make it worse, bad patent drawings!  With these hand drawn sketches, it's no wonder this invention never hit the shelves!!

Unusual Patent of the Week!

With the snow starting these last few days, it seemed fitting to kick off our Patent of the Week with this patent for a shovel ... No bending or actual "shoveling", but sure looks like more of a workout than a time saver!!  Click the link to see how it works!
