Inventions

If you could invent something what would it be and what would it be used for?

I would invent fragranced paint like lavender paint that smelt of lavender and brown that smelt like fresh coffee or chocolate and so on.

Or a umberella that attached to the pram for the mum or dad have you ever tried to push a pram and hold an umberella in the rain its easier to get wet!!

You can always wear one of those little brollies that sit on your head- not very attractive, but you'll be dry.
l'd invent non-iron clothes, yes l know we have them now, but l don't want to wear nylon shirts!

Be careful what you wish for should be the watchword here. No offence to Mummiboo, this as the makings of a great thread and I’m sure we’ll all enjoy either contributing or enjoy laughing at our own and each others little wanderings. However, think long and hard about what you contribute here. Wandering thought your imaginations may result in someone a little quicker witted picking up an Idea and making a fortune at your expense. Daft as it may sound the smelly paint idea would make money for the person who held a patent as well as the producer. Everything starts out as an idea most come to nothing, but try not being the one who had the idea, but made nothing. Just a thought.

OK anyone who can come up with the design can have this one on me. I would invent a gadget which would hold one's book open at the desired page and allow a person to adopt any position on a beach recliner, ie. lying on one's, back, side, (not backside) stomach, any which way and still allow you to read the book without holding the damn thing. It would also turn the page when desired and would be unaffected by ocean breezes or tsunami type swells. There you go you mechanical engineers, let's see what you can come up with.

I'm just glad the brown paint smells of chocolate!

A drink that gets you drunk after one pint and another one that sobers you up . you d save loads of money and never have an hangover again or have to find an excuse for getting beat at pool or dancing to bad music

WillowTheWhisp · 02-03-2005, 14:12

There's a world of a difference between the "wouldn't it be lovely if....." and knowing how to go about creating the thing and patenting it. I remember ages ago my late hubby saying wouldn't it be great if you had clothes pegs that could warn you when it started raining - then not long after that we saw on TV someone had invented them. There's no way we would have been able to think it all through, let alone the cost of prototypes etc and they don't seem to have caught on anyway because I've never seen them in the shops.

I'd like an invention that can get the kids to go to sleep when they go to bed and not still be sneaking up and down an hour later.
