Tired of having the lip of his bathroom plunger fold up when used, the inventor modified this common household item into what he says is a sturdy and effective product. Configured with a flexible neck portion, and made from such materials as a rubber suction cup and wooden handle, the "Super Plunge's" ball-shaped head forcefully pushes a greater amount of water through toilets and creates more pressure for unclogging residential, commercial and business drains. The "Super Plunge" better accommodates water-saver toilets, also. In fact, the inventor has videotaped the "Super Plunge's" effectiveness in his own home. A working model is available. Because there is no new technology involved, the inventor says his product can be made at low cost. The inventor is looking to attract licensees and manufacturers.

Three-Piece Shower Liner:

The plastic shower liner used behind the shower curtain to keep the water inside the tub or shower normally gets a buildup of mildew and dirt. To remove the mildew, the liner has to be removed and either cleaned or replaced. Removing the liner requires the tedious chore of unclipping normally hard-to-unclip hooks. This three-piece liner is made of a water-repellent fabric. The top and bottom sections of this new liner are attached with velcro so the bottom portion is easily and quickly removed for cleaning. The inventor is seeking a licensee or investors to help bring this much needed product to market.

Hammer with Nail-Holding Structure:  U.S. Patent # 5,894,764

Often, when working with hammer and nails, only one hand is really free. The other hand could be holding the board or holding on to a ladder. In these situations, it is difficult to hold the nail so it can be struck by the hammer. This clever hammer allows the user to tap the nail into position with just one hand. After the nail is positioned, it can easily be removed from the hammer head, single-handedly, and driven in. The working model has proven to work in a smooth, ergonomic motion. It accommodates nails sizes 6 to 12d. (11-30-99)

Fasten-On Airbag:  U.S. Patent # 5,924,726

Fasten-On Airbag:

The Fasten-on Airbag consists of an airbag pack that sits at the occupant's side, which assures that the airbag will deployment going forward and outward -- away from the occupant's body -- rather than aiming toward the occupant. Thus the Fasten-on Airbag eliminates the main factor that causes airbag injuries. Currently the airbag designs are installed in the car's interior, which results in their deployment being faced toward the occupant and the possibility of causing injury. Furthermore, the "one-size-fits-all" airbags induce the higher injury rate for smaller victims. The Fasten-on Airbag expresses a conceptual revolution in offering a true body protection and is the key to eliminating airbag fatalities.

Unique Features:

1.    Assures the deployment direction to go forward and outward away from the occupant's body, to reduce the possibility of injury.

2.    Keeps the airbag in a definitely coordinated proximity with the occupant to assure the airbag deployment go in front of occupant's body, without installing sophisticated accessory sensors. It is simple and, most of all, it is effective.

3.   More economically feasible to install and replace. Cost saving is achieved by avoiding installation in the fixed auto interior and less damage to the device when deployed.

4.   Easy to be replaced and can be manufactured into different sizes. Users with different body figures, even pregnant women, can choose the most suitable size of the fasten-on air bag to achieve the best protection.

5.   The application of the fasten-on airbag is much wider. It can be utilized on the anterior seats, rear seats, passenger cars, buses, trains, airplanes; even the child safety seats ... etc. The versatility of the fasten-on airbag's market segment will be much greater than what it is now. The introduction of the Fasten-on Airbag will be the turning point to the change of the sale of airbags from the current base by the number of vehicles into that by number of occupants.

Potential markets:

• Automobile drivers and passengers, include men, women, pregnant women and children.

• People who need to sit in a wheel chair.

• Playgrounds where there are roller coasters.
  

Potential licensees:

• Air bag manufacturers.
  
• Automobile manufacturers.
  
• Child car seat manufacturers.
  
• Wheel chair manufacturers.
  
• Roller coaster manufacturers.

Fractal Meshes:

http://www.fraplast.com.pl  A new technology for finishing of plaster and constructional elements consisting in the use of "prefabricated surfaces" -- flexible meshes with fractal surface structure. These meshes, pressed into the surface of plaster, shape its surfaces in a way that enables you to obtain a replica of structural plaster with a surface so rich and complex in quality and color that is impossible to be obtained with other methods.

Such meshes may be also used as inserts for formworks allowing to obtain face concrete with exceptional surface quality, superior in aesthetic values.   Special mesh-plate system and suspended ceiling system are new products based on the fractal mesh finishing idea.

Fractal meshes have a wide range of applications: preparation of outdoor and indoor plasters with wet method, preparation of face concretes, finishing of precast elements, mesh plates and suspended ceilings, and many others.  There are a wide circle of customers, including precasting works, construction companies and Do-It-Yourselfers.   There are aesthetic affects, as well as completely new effects for innovators.   The large number of forms allows for unlimited possibilities.

Technical and economical advantages include lower workmanship costs and relatively low qualification level of a contractor; they may be matched both to already-existing products (formworks, plaster mixes, etc.) and may also create new kinds of these products.

Please contact Market Launchers at (217) 224-7735 for the name and phone number of the inventor.

Sherry Schult, a Florida native, formerly of Atlanta, GA and now living in Austin, TX is the President of the TYFG Company that produces and markets the TODAY I FEEL Doll. Married with two children, Sherry is involved in developing several other ideas she has for dolls and has authored several children’s books.

Here’s how Sherry describes the inspiration for the T.I.F. Doll TM: "It was 1980 when my mother passed away. 3 days after the funeral I went back to work. It was really too soon as I had someone say to me, "Smile, it can’t be that bad". I walked away stunned and within a few minutes the idea came to me for this doll. I thought it would have been nice to have a way to let people know how I was feeling so that they could react accordingly. I went to my two sisters and shared the idea with them. They immediately pitched in to help create it.

While I always thought this would be something to appeal to adults, it turns out school counselors have discovered this doll is a great way for children to express their feelings more easily. I hope this doll can help you better express how you feel today!"

Double-Ended Bottle: U.S. Patent # 5,829,607

Double-Ended Bottle:

Introducing for license or sale a unique new double ended bottle. The invention shown here provides a double-ended bottle adapted to stand on either end so that the contents in the bottle may flow towards and collect at a neck for rapid dispensing. The two necks of the bottle are restricted in diameter to allow control. The body of the bottle is relatively large so that it can be easily held by the hand. The bottle also has an inclined or sloping shoulder at each neck. The shoulders are designed to promote downward flow into either neck.

When a bottle is filled with thick materials this frequently slows down the flow. The user is inconvenienced by being forced to wait while the material flows to and then through the neck of the bottle. Also, constituent components of a fluent material may separate from one another over time. When the bottle is poured, the heavier components may fail to be dispensed, only the upper or lighter fraction being present in a limited pour. This problem pointed out a need that led inventor, Moheb Ibrahim to the development of his "Double Ended Bottle." This bottle solves all of these problems by having a neck at opposed ends. The upper neck is used until the amount desired has been used. From that point on, each subsequent pour is conducted from whichever neck has become the lower neck when replaced on a surface.

This bottle can be made in sizes and colors to fit any need. The design used by the inventor is simple and uncomplicated. This simplicity of design will enable it to be easily mass-produced at a very affordable price. It is a clever new item that has been awarded a United States Patent and is now ready for immediate introduction to a vast and waiting market.

Once introduced, consumer acceptance should be immediate. Marketing will be easy, as it can be offered through department, discount and grocery stores nationwide. It is easily packaged and shipped, allowing it to be attractively offered in a variety of specialty catalogues, including mail order. This is a bottle that opens up a new and highly profitable product line with unlimited national and international marketing opportunities.

THIS IS AN INVENTION IN WHICH THE INVENTOR HAS USED SIMPLICITY AND CAREFUL PLANNING IN ITS BASIC DESIGN. Because of this, the design is practical and consideration has been given to manufacturing technique. It is a product that offers some unique possibilities and one which deserves serious consideration from manufacturers in this industry.

The "Creature" Plastic Bag Holding Device:

The "Creature" Plastic Bag Holding Device sticks into a wastebasket – one plastic device in each corner. When a person runs out of purchased plastic bags, they can utilize the FREE shopping bags used by grocery stores.

The "Plastic Bag Holding Device" is made of plastic, and has a hook and a clip. The hook is to hold bags with a handle, and the clip will hold bags that come without a handle, as well as purchased bags that do not have a handle. This will avoid the ugly and unnecessary "overlap" of the bag, and will facilitate the operation of the lid. It is also adjusted vertically to accommodate regular size bags and much larger ones.

This plastic device comes in many different models – some are made of plastic and some of stainless steel. It looks like a "creature" and was originally named "The Creature." It can be cast with the trash basket, thus making it ONE UNIT, or it can be sold four in a box as an aftermarket unit, for existing wastebaskets to accommodate the bags. 

Please contact Market Launchers at (217) 224-7735 for the name and phone number of the inventor.

WatrLevel:

The WatrLevel's jug-and-tubing system allows you to measure two points, whether they be 6 feet apart, or 100 feet apart.  Because of its unique moving scale, the WatrLevel gives you instant measurements quickly every time. 

There is no other tool that can be used to level two points so fast.  Even Lasers and Transits can't do that!  With the WatrLevel you can set up, take measurements, and pack away in seconds.  It's truly the most versatile leveling tool ever made.

How does the WatrLevel work?

Water seeks it’s own level. The water in the jug will travel through the tubing and seek the same level as the water in the jug. As long as the water can freely move between the jug and the tubing, the level in the tubing and the level in the jug will always be exactly the same.

The WatrLevel uses a measuring staff with a moveable scale. It is this moveable scale that sets the WatrLevel apart from other water levels. When you match the zero point on the scale to the water in the tubing (we call this set-zero) you essentially transfer the level in the jug to the staff. Wherever you take the staff you can compare that point to the point you originally set-zero at.

The Watrlevel comes with a handy carrying case:

Adjustable Television Stand:  U.S. Patent # 6,095,476

Adjustable Television Stand:

The Adjustable Television Stand is a television system in which a person can use the remote control to rotate, tip, tilt, and move left or right or up and down as desired on all kinds of television sets, VCR's and computer monitors. It offers a new level of comfort in watching TV.

Conventional TV sets are available in a variety of designs and appearances but the user cannot freely move a TV set back and forth, tip, tilt or adjust up and down or right or left, as desired, so when the user intends to switch the direction or movement of the traditional TV set, he has to use the old-fashioned way of moving the TV set by manually lifting, pushing or pulling for best position of viewing the screen.

This results in an inconvenience when watching TV or using a computer monitor. The Adjustable Television Stand was invented to help overcome the placing and viewing of video equipment from a single, fixed location. The technology in the Adjustable Television Stand allows the user to select and adjust the TV positioning in all types of television sets and computer monitors.

Target Markets Include:

• Households
• Schools and universities
• Businesses that use video equipment.

Distribution Channels Include:

• TV dealers
• Retailers & wholesalers of appliances
• Retailers & wholesalers of home furnishings
• Conventional & discount department stores
• Electronics of electronics equipment
• Mail order catalogues.

The Trimmer Hanger is the first Hanger in history to be designed to hold all hand held Motorized Grass Trimmers and Hedge Clippers. Even Electric Trimmers and Hedgers fit inside the Hanger. As storage room becomes a premium in most households, it becomes harder to find a place for a seven-foot Trimmer or Hedger and it usually ends up on the floor or leaning up against a wall. And that's where the Trimmer Hanger can help the most because it mounts on the garage or shed wall and mounts to a stud with simple wood screws.

Trimmer Hanger is made of plastic using Injection Method and is One Piece Solid Mold for added strength. Trimmer Hanger also has Built-in Safety Features such as a Fluid Retention Ring inside of the hanger to catch any fuel or oil that may leak out. Its design is such that your Trimmer or Hedger is cradled inside the Hanger and will not fall out even if it gets bumped. The Trimmer Hanger also has a large back so as you place your Trimmer or Hedger inside of the unit it does not mark or damage the wall.

Trimmer Hanger can even save more space by hanging three shovels or three rakes. Even most brooms and mops have a place inside the Hanger. Example: Three Rakes take up four feet of space on a wall. With Trimmer Hanger you use one foot of space.

Trimmer Hanger will be highly profitable per unit with a profit margin of 900% and there is no need for expensive packaging. Stick on instruction is all you need. Trimmer Hanger is stackable for easy shipping and weighs in at about two pounds.

Please read the testimonials from people we contacted around the USA. This is representative of how people feel about Trimmer Hanger, just imagine what 40 million other Trimmer and Hedge owners would say!
