Dumb ideas that got patented

Patently Bad Ideas


Pogo-Copter (1969)
Take a standard pogo stick, add a wheel and a propeller and what have you got? A spring-loaded ticket to the hospital. As you bounce, the copter's blades send you high into the air. It's like floating on a cloud ? for about a second. Then you crash.

Helmet-Mounted Pistol (1953)

Essentially a hard hat with a gun strapped to the top, this weapon is perfect for the multitasking hunter (or armless serial killer). To shoot, simply blow into the connected tube. Talk about a killer hands-free device.

High-Speed Track Trainer (1982)

No pain, no gain. Supercharge your workout routine with this two-wheeled cart that hitches to the back of a car. As a partner drives, you train by holding on, running, and generally trying not to fall and kill yourself.
Can't see why these ideas didn't make it, the High-Speed trainer for example would be a great way for people to kill their spouses and get away with it. Now if you need me, I will be Pogo-Coptering into the office! :biggrin:
 
My personal favorite!
Penis Exerciser (1995)
Bet your health club doesn't have one of these. To stay, um, functional as you age, use your male organ to repeatedly push up the bar attached to the metal box. You can pump up the difficulty by adjusting the fulcrum. Be very careful not to pull any muscles.
Reminds me of the "Cock Push-ups" skit by Tenacious D.
