Who doesn't want to be this inventor?
Steve Hollinger
was recently profiled in the New Yorker about his umbrella.
I like the patent website.
Here's the the actual umbrella. Well, not the actual umbrella, but sorta the actual umbrella, you know, the way that Mike Teevee actually went through the television at the chocolate factory.
You know, I've long thought that my umbrella could use a good dose of turbulence-inducing microspoilers.
I'm not sure I quite understand how this umbrella differs from other umbrellas except in exotic terminology...
The distance from the canopy crown-point to the closest point on the longitudinal-chord, defining the chord of maximum canopy height, ranges in length between 5% and 25% of the longitudinal-chord length. An illustration of this range is shown at 2011. Canopy height 2013 is at least 5% and at most 25% of longitudinal-chord length 2015.
The US Patent Office needs an enema. I've been reading so much garbage in patents lately that I've been tempted to call my congressmen. I don't have $2000 in PAC money to contribute, so I doubt it will do much good (here in Texas, dollars do the voting).
That's great, chips. Just make sure you pay me my cut first, as I filed Patent # 568,952,145,751 covering "A method of contacting legislators, or distributing money to a political organization, for the express purpose of reforming the laws that allowed this patent to be filed".
You can read it online, it's only 6540 pages long.
Gutter-bumber-chute!
