Salad Machine
Posted on 04.26.05 by Patent My Ideas @ 9:57 am

Like a bread machine, a salad machine turns raw ingredients into something delicious that would otherwise take time to create.

Put the head of lettuce in the main compartment. Add hard vegetables, such as carrots and cucumbers, to one of the side compartments to be sliced. Add soft vegetables, such as tomatoes, to another compartment to be sliced more carefully.

Add dressing to another side compartment to be tossed with the salad. Add cheese, nuts, and other small bits to another side compartment to be mixed in during tossing.

To clean it, you just have to fill the side compartments with soap and water, put the machine into cleaning mode, and simply turn it on. It washes itself, collecting bits and pieces in a single mesh-lined compartment for easy disposal.

Automatic Parking Meters
Posted on 04.25.05 by Patent My Ideas @ 10:08 pm

These parking meters automatically detect your car when you park at them. Then they charge your parking account automatically, rather than requiring quarters or parking cards.

In general, they are less of a pain than the parking meters that take quarters. You never have to scramble for quarters, buying unnecessary cups of coffee just so that you can get your parking meter change.

They don’t let you get away with anything, though. If you’re parked for more than two hours in a two-hour parking space, then you automatically get charged the price of a parking ticket.

Chair with Attached Blanket
Posted on 04.24.05 by Patent My Ideas @ 4:46 pm

This chair has an attached blanket, to keep you warm. Sit in the chair, and pull a flap of the blanket over yourself from each side of the chair.

Since the blanket is actually part of the chair, the seal between the blanket and the chair is much stronger than if you had covered yourself with an ordinary blanket.

To make the blanket easier to wash, the chair-blanket cover could be removable. Simply slip off the cover, put it in the laundry, and it’s fresh again.

Refrigerator with an Exercise Lock
Posted on 04.21.05 by Patent My Ideas @ 1:38 pm

This refrigerator has a stationary exercise bicycle attached to it.

The only way to open the door of the refrigerator is to sit on the bicycle and pedal for 0.5 miles. That way, you never eat without exercising first. Did you forget something in the refrigerator? Oh, then you’ll have to pedal for another 0.5 miles before you can open the door again. Sorry.

The disadvantage would be that it encourages the owner to eat out more often, because it becomes a million times more convenient. Also, someone could just prop the door open, which is even worse because keeping the refrigerator door a crack open is a waste of energy.

Air Bookshelf
Posted on 04.20.05 by Patent My Ideas @ 11:59 am

The Air Bookshelf prevents books from collecting dust and acquiring odors over time.

It works by circulating a current of air throughout the shelves, once a day. Dust is dislodged from the tops of books, and enough air flows between the pages of the books to keep them fresh.

Vents along the sides, tops, bottoms, and backs of bookshelves remove the stale, day-old air and replace it with purified air from the room. Purification ensures that the dusty air is not recirculated into the room, nor is unclean air from the room (e.g. air with oil and cooking odors) circulated into the books.

Dream Inducer
Posted on 04.14.05 by Patent My Ideas @ 2:25 am

This device induces dreams in the subject of your choice.

Dreams can be productive, or they can be a utopian vacation. You can meet people and fall in love, or you can hang out with your childhood friends.

At a chosen interval, the device will speak keywords and key phrases relating to the subject that you want to dream about. The voice is soft enough not to awaken you, but it is loud enough to influence your dreams.

Dreams are often filled with highly creative, random thinking. A dream inducer can help you make the most of your dreamtime, in the ways that you want to use the time.

This is a place for me to brainstorm and store random ideas and crazy inventions. Some are patentable; others are completely unpatentable, and the patent office will laugh if you try to patent them. I apologize in advance if my ideas are lousy.

Not all these ideas may be possible or patentable. In fact, most may be impossible and unpatentable.

Patent It Yourself

This book will help you get started with patenting my ideas.

I checked it out from the library in March 2005, and it explained the patent application process quite clearly. Don't buy it, though, just get it from the library.
