Watching TV when and advert came along for "Airwaves" chewing gum in its new bottle

My wife asked.....

Why not have a second cap on the bottom with an area that could take the used gum?

I am just off to patent this and make our fortune

What are your simple inventions that are going to make your fortune?

I invented giant kit kats when I was a kid but someone stole my idea.

I might invent a spell checker that specialises on the word "brilliant"

Just the other day, I astonished my better half with my engineering prowess when she was getting frustrated at cross-threading a bottle, or some such...

"put the lid on and unscrew it first until it settles", she was gob-smacked when it worked LoL.

So you can recycle the most minty chewed bits when you've run out of new bits? obviously you would have to mark a line a line up the middle so you which are yours and which bits you are storing for friends.......

I think i was the first to have a cycle with front suspension.
Always been into making things and i remember putting a pair if moped front forks with suspension on a bike.
Admittedly it was a bit on the heavy side.

Hence the second area

Funnily enough I started to use a velcro "cinch strap" on my Catrike and informed them of the idea...

Then this was added to the catalogue

Are you forever having a few baked beans left over in a tin? Yes you can buy a big jar but it only lasts a week.

It's so simple.

Individually wrapped baked beans. Each one in a tiny plastic bag with a little bit of sauce.

Gone are they days of opening a tin and chucking some away. Open as many as you want.

"Hey mum, can I have some baked beans?"
"Sure, how many?"
"84"

Like I say, billions.

The same could be done with peas, sweetcorn, rice in fact the list goes on and on.

This time next year Rodney..........

They can be frozen and you take what you need. Ruce last for months.

Can't do tgat with beans

 

[Freds Dad]

I'm going to start supplying tiny plastic bags so someone can wrap indivdual beans

A revolving toaster stand, turns the toaster through 90 degrees so it can be used as a grill.

When the kids were about six or seven I invented a remote cable release for a pressurized bottle rocket. Firstly I bonded the male half of a hozelock connector to the threaded neck of a rocket made from a lemonade bottle. I then used a short piece of hose with a female end and a funnel to partially fill the rocket with water.

Next I fashioned a launchpad frame from angle iron which had the female end of the hozelock attached to the frame. Through this ran a piece of windscreen washer tubing which protruded above the water line when the rocket was simply push fitted onto the launch pad. The other end of the windscreen washer tubing had a schrader valve bonded on with hose clips, so that the bottle could be pressurized to about 120psi using a car tyre inflator.

The remote release was fashioned from a bike brake cable. The trigger was a brake lever from a kids bike on a short piece of handlebar, and the release was via a coat hanger bent into a V shape with two prongs pushed into holes drilled either side of the female hozelock on the launchpad. Once the bottle was filled and pressurised you could stand well back and release the rocket by squeezing the brake lever, whereby the cable pulled the coat hanger which pulled the hozelock release and let the rocket fly. Filled one third with water, and with an engine pressure of 120 psi the rocket, which had three fins and a tennis ball nose could fly several hundred yards.

It is another stroke of genius on my part..............It is an invention to keep the Pedants amused
