What would you invent?
 
Just for fun . . .If you could invent something what would it be? Over my lifetime, I have come up with many ideas for inventions, some of which were actually invented after I thought them up. Of course, I didn't patent my idea.:rolleyes:

In some ways I am a germ freak. To be more specific, public restrooms. One of my brothers, who at that time was working on his degree in industrial design, laughed at me for this one but also saw the potential. I was explaining to him that I hated those paper things we put down when using a public restroom. You face the toilet, put the paper down, and turn around to sit down only to find that once you are seated the dang paper slipped or, even worse, you put it on backwards and well . . . :eek: :D I told him I would like to see an automated system that would automatically put the paper on and hold it on the seat. To this day, I would still like to invent something of this sort.

So again, if you could possibly invent something what would it be?

I don't know if I could Top that one, Trish..:D

Ya know those arm thingys, inside a machine that can pick up a toy and drop in down into the prize bin? well, I would like to have one of those arms in my home that can both pick me up and plop me somewhere else and pick things up, I need and bring them to me.:cool:

Now that would be cool! Kind of like a robotic personal assistant. You may be on to something there Sally! ;) Of course, I would want my robotic personal assistant to look like a cabana boy and carry my drinks to me with little umbrellas in them. :D

I use a potato bag chip holder to keep the dang door shut in public restrooms! how many times have you gone into a stall to find the door either busted, or the lock so far off kilter, that you need to raise the door to make the lock find the hole?

I find those chip clips are invalueable. I also carry wet wipes in my bag, and use those instead of the nasty sink! no worry about using a nasty blower, or touching the sinks.

Why is it that toilets in public stalls are so close to the side walls of the stall that if you weigh more than 80 pounds, your fanny bumps into the toilet paper roller?

I'm personally developing a design to access wormholes to facilitate interstellar travel. I'm not having much luck though.

A robotic genetically programmed to be a clone of myself with all of the same illnesses, and feelings ad reactions so that my doctors can all play guinea pig with it instead of me and see how my body reacts to increases in medication, and all new drugs to see how my body would respond before giving me the treatments. Of course extra point would be rewarded if the robotic me could cook and clean and drive me to my appointments.

Dej - You too may be on to something. Wouldn't it suffice to have an automatic dispenser to dispense antibacterial soap that you just rub in (kind of like the sanitizer). The company where the restroom is located could save a ton of money AND conserve water. A green solution.;)

Tom - Ok, you have out done us all. Makes my toilet thing sound so insignificant. LOL Good luck with the invention and let us know if it comes to fruition. I'd definitely would be interested in hearing about it.

Legz - I think we all want a clone. However, I think I would alter mine so they completely had the MS and I was *poof* back to normal.

I also have thought of a lotion roller kind of thing so that you could put lotion on that area of your back you can't reach. Years ago, DBF bought me a Scum Buster for X-mas. I really, really wanted one. As I used it, I thought that would be so awesome to use in the shower. Unfortunately, I never patented the idea and now they are making them. But they don't have, that I know of, one that puts lotion on your back. Heck, it could also be used for those with limited mobility.

I think they have something that dispenses lotion. But I would want the good massage with it and they don't make a macine that does that. I did see on TV today a machine that pumps paint into this little bottle and you always have a little bit of touch up paint to roll onto a spot on your wall.

My little robot, Sven, could take care of that..:D

I really, really want the twitchy nose thingie that Samantha had on Bewitched...could you imagine the gas $$ I'd save?

Since that is impossible at this juncture, I would like one of those collars for dogs that sprays them in the face when they bark...only for rabbits when they bother my plants.:mad: I've tried every spray and urine junk on the market. Nothing keeps them from my beautiful plants.

legzzalot 05-28-2010 04:57 PM

Actually they do have one that dispenses lotion on a roller thing and it vibrates...BUT, it does not have a handle so it is completly useless for your back!

Trish, I can't remember what airport it was, but someone had figured out how to protect the toilet seats with plastic! It was automated (don't know how well it worked) and supposedly each lady got fresh plastic before they sat down.


I want a self-cleaning house!!! :D

I've seen them! I don't remember where but I remember calling my brother about it as I was so disappointed in myself for not patenting that idea. LOL

A self-cleaning house? Hmmm Well, you could have a complete concrete and plastic house and just hose it all off to clean it. LOL A great solution to the dust issues from all the wind we have been having - hose it off and then use a automatic sweeper thing they use for pools to suck all the dirty water up.:D

FinLady 06-01-2010 12:09 PM

What would I invent? Hmmmm. Some of the gadgets I wished I had do have things on the market that have a tendancy to be iffy, but I guess I would like something that detected too much dust in the house and would automatically take care of that for me.

Guess that's similar to a self cleaning house, LOL :D

I wonder what else it could dispense other than lotion? why is it a vibrating one? Big girl toys can be so fun. :o

Oh you Ladies are bad! :rolleyes::p

Dej - Look what I found. I saw an ad for this in a magazine.
