This device would not only cut with precision but clamp down on the part of the stem or small branch to be discarded...and when the handle is released, the clamp would release the branch...falling into any trash barrel or bin. The clamping mechanism would operate adjacent to and parallel with the cutter...both functions accomplished by the manual compression of one handle. Advantage...saves either stooping to pick up discarded branches...or eliminates the use of one's other hand to...

A product for an upscale car like a Mercedes or a BMW...would come standard: A thin bottle brush device attached to and extending the length of the wiper armiture. When activated, the brush would move into position resting against the windshield, and would begin to rotate or even agitate. At the same time the armiture would move in a typical sweeping motion and the spray would begin...covering the windshield with soapy water. When not in use, the brush device would be concealed next to the...

A special treadmill to either learn skateboard basics or enhance one's current skills: Treadmill with a rotating, flat surface and handles to grab on either side to keep one stable in the beginning. The surface could be tilted in any direction for a variety of slope experiences. The speed could be adjusted. For real beginners, you could even have grooves in the surface to help stabilize while one gets the basic feeling of riding. An advanced setting might consist of the treadmill on a...

The track for the skateboard would be a single rail track on ground level, built in sections and fastened to the ground over a sloping terrain. The rail would be hollow consisting of a chamber to house both wheels of a skateboard. The skateboard would consist of a typical platform for the rider and have a single wheel fore and aft. The skateboard would essentially be locked onto the track, yet freely move at potentially high speeds- depending on the length and slope of the track. We're...

An art device for an upscale audience. You know those new flat tvs and computer monitors with the great resolution. Have several wall-mounted throughout the home or business. (plug hidden of course) Have them networked to a simple server that stores high pixel pictures of fine art: eg: Picasso, Monet, Renoir, etc...what suits your palette...and matches to drapes! The idea being that with a fairly low lit, flat, simply bordered (framed) monitor...these famous paintings are yours for free to...

How many times have you been out shopping, walking around, even hiking and wanted a little rest...or how about those times when you find yourself in a long line?...and gosh!...no chair. "Insta-chair" solves this problem: It is a collapsable metal framed, comfortable canvas lined chair that attaches with harness to either your back or butt. You just push a conveniently located magic actuator button or lever...and presto!, your very own "insta-chair" unfolds and sets up quickly behind...

For the Guy or Gal that has everything: A device that works like an automatic dish washer but washes tools instead of dishes: eg: wrenches, drivers, socket sets, pliers; although possibly smaller than a dishwasher. You load it into recepticles that are designed for tools...it washes using industrial strength sudsless soap, then dries completely to prevent rust formation. For the garage or workshop. A bigger one even has applications in the auto repair industry or any shop that uses...

Yes, I know this sounds silly, and perhaps it is, but the proliferation and propagation of dust bunnies is a nuisance and a problem at home and work. What the device looks like: the size of a large fat cookie with doors in the sides the size of quarters. The center is hollow and is basically a housing bay or receptical for the bunnies. The top can be easily removed to discard bunny carcusses to a convenient waste basket, or, a more humane method: release them to the outside world. How it...
