Pensioner invents handsfree bag carrier

by

Bagmanah7Ever get tired of carrying the shopping home? Albert Martin did – so he’s come up with a solution which he hopes will make him bags of money.

The 87-year-old is so confident about his labour-saving device that he believes he could be a millionaire by the time he is 90.

Drawing inspiration from braces and using his wife’s skills on her sewing machine, the former Royal Marine has created Martin’s Hands-Free Harness.  It slips over the shoulders and lets you hang heavy shopping bags on two hooks near your waist.

Mr Martin said: “You can carry your shopping and wipe your nose, eat fish and chips or talk on the phone at the same time. It’s great for mums holding their children’s hands – you could even hold a baby at the same time as carrying your shopping. You could also use it for laptop cases and other bags.”

The great-grandfather has secured a patent for his invention and has written to the major supermarkets offering them the chance to buy the rights to make and sell it.

Turn a door into a ping-pong table

by

Ping-Pong-table-doorFrom Gizmodo:

It’s not that we have any particular dislike for doors, it’s just that, growing up in a barn, we never had any use for them. But with our current Balls-of-Fury-infused obsession, the Ping-Pong door is enough to change our minds. Housing a Ping-Pong table within an internal frame, the door…unfolds…for a quick match. It’s a clever, efficient use of space for those who don’t require a full-size table to get their Forrest Gump on.

Oh—just a minor caveat. One side of the door has to be bright green. We suggest not telling your duplex neighbor before installation. The doortable is set to go on sale next year. And we’ll be the first to let you know after we preorder. [product via yanko via scifitech]
