The Problem
Sometimes you have to clean something and you do not have soap and water close to you. Say you could keep the up stairs for carpet spot cleaning. Maybe you need to scrub something out side like a cooler. No need lug cleaning stuff around you have everything in one brush.The Solution
My idea is to put the cleaning solution in the spay handle. The brush head would inter change with other cleaning heads. The OXO Spray Brush is very close to my idea but my design has no trigger in the way and is not Customizable.Product Comparison

The Problem
Food boxes are some of the worst packaging on the market. The top flaps are glued so that you can't get into them without a lot of ripping and tearing. Some boxes, like salt or baking soda boxes that don't have an inner liner, are glued so tight you have to use either a knife or scissors to open them. This dulls good knives, and stabbing with a scissors gets messy . . . and dangerous.The Solution
This small tool easily fits to the top edge of a food box. It has a built-in, ceramic blade that pierces and slices the cardboard when you press it against the box. Run it along 3 sides of the top and you're in! The tool has a protective blade cover with springs behind it so the blade isn't exposed until the tool is pressed against the box.Product Comparison

The Problem
We have all lost our keys at some point and usually when we are in a hurry. Keys now days can be very costly and there are limited places other than a dealer to get them replaced. The KEEPER solves this problem in many ways when keys are lost both in public or in the privacy of your home.The Solution
The KEEPER solves this problem by allowing you to call up your keys using an App on your cell phone when your keys are lost. The Application on your cell phone will require the serial number of the device, so it is specific to your device, and you simply use the App to dial up your keys. The KEEPER beeps, vibrates, and flashes to alert you or someone else that you have lost your keys. Your cell number appears on the display so that if in public, a person can call you to return your keys. The KEEPER also lights up (visual), beeps (sound), and vibrates (touch) as alerts.Product Comparison
- There are currently no products similar that I am aware of that are used for this purpose.
- The cellular beeper is somewhat similar with the KEEPER but with a different application.
Key Features
- A display on the KEEPER shows your cell number.
- The KEEPER beeps (sound), vibrates (touch), and flashes light (visual).
The Problem
People are always trying to sit directly in front of the T.V in order to see the whole screen. Cine-Tres allows you to view TV from different angles so you won’t miss a thing! Constantly flipping back and forth from channel to channel becomes tiring, Cine-Tres allows you to view up to 3 channels at the same time!The Solution
I am trying to give people a more relaxed feeling while watching TV instead of trying to strain their neck in order to view the TV, or wondering what’s going showing on another channel. Cine-Tres allows you comfort while viewing your favorite program, or programs!Product Comparison

Key Features
- Ability to view the television screen from the left, middle and right

The Problem
I've tried to make a case by cutting out the back of the plastic case and attaching a name clip badge but the phone is too heavy. I've tried sewing together a case with straps but the fabric gets in the way and the phone cannot make it's connections. A well made case with a slide in for wearing, strapped or better yet, a case that has the straps that are secure and can hold not only an iPhone but one for an iPod touch too. People like to know it's close and they can walk/work knowing it's secure and will not break or fall and shatter.The Solution
iCarry, iHoldit or iHolder or iShoulder perhaps will hold the phone or iPod touch securely around the neck which my walking friends constantly complain they cannot do, this product would allow for working, walking, even traveling knowing you can't lose the phone in a pocket or it can't be dropped and lost or slip out or even be grabbed out of your hand, it could be hidden under your shirt, if you want safety but for walking and exercising it has a plastic back to keep out moisture and can be worn safely and comfortably while you work, walk, travel.Product Comparison
- there doesn't seem to be any competitors out there right now, I tried to make one and the phone broke, it wouldn't hold but it was a valiant effort.
Key Features
- It can be work around the neck or cross body (adjustable strap)
- It is secure enough that the phone/iPod Touch won't fall off and break
The Problem
Many motorcycle collisions happen during the night and on very dark not well lit roads. If thrown off your bike or away from the road it would be hard to find you. Especially if you are unconscious and unable to signal for help.The Solution
My helmet would have LED lights on the outside connected to a battery that only turns on when either the operator turns them on via switch or the helmet is dented. This would make a rider more visible during the night in the event of a crash, and more likely to be found by a passing car or EMS.Product Comparison
- Air bag jacket for motorcycle users was first in motorcycle crash reacting gear.
Key Features
- lights only trun on when helmet is dented for an unconsious victim.
- small solar panel on top of helmet to charge battery during day riding.
- flashing LED lights or fixed lights help a consious victim see.
- Depending on battery ability helmet could have GPS emergency distress signal built in.
The Problem
I’m a sewer and I'm re-posting this idea! Join in. A big problem for sewers and crafters is that very quickly dust, tiny threads, fibers, or paper shavings get caught in gears and tight areas in the bottom of my sewing machine, or any kind of crafting machine for that matter. I have used canned air to clean my sewing machine, it doesn’t completely remove the mess; basically it blows dust around inside a machine. I have also tried various small mini-vacuums and assorted attachments currently on the market, none of which have met my needs. Firstly, they were too cumbersome to use on a table next to a small machine. Other big issues were poor suction, attachments that did stay well-connected and bulky-sized nozzles that couldn’t reach into the bottom of the machine into tiny areas. Even with very mixed, often poor, online reviews, some vacuums I considered were on back order-not available! With this I concluded that there must be a demand, -two different models were on back order. Really? After much thought and sorted conversations with friends, I have discovered indeed there are many types of users and uses for my invention! This machine is in demand for use among a wide range of individuals -crafters, artisans, and parents all who have expressed a desire for what I call a “multi-use suction machine”!The Solution
The big solution: not only does this mini-vacuum clean up, it picks up too! Consider a “multi-use suction machine” that not only pulls dust out of small table top machines but, when you change the top attachment, the machine picks up and collects tiny items like buttons, beads, snaps, or toy parts like Lego pieces, board game parts, hobby parts, etc. The machine collects pieces in a clear detachable canister. Use your imagination; it can pick up anything the size of a quarter or smaller! It will lesson any monotonous clean up and store away process! The collection canister looks like a small pitcher with a pour spout and handle. Once all the pieces are sucked into the collection canister items can then be carefully poured into their proper storage container. Cleaning up, or picking up any small item becomes much less tedious! The only thing I happen to liked about a minivacuum I sampled called, inessential Mini Vacuum, is that I love the rubber “duck bill’ shaped nozzle on the attachment and think this material has great potential to be used a nozzle tip. The rubber material is slightly heavier then an inner tube in a bike tire, flexible yet durable. This vacuum itself has a simple filter that fits under the vacuum but over the top of the canister when collect dust. This filter looks like a coffee maker filter or a small Dirt Devil vacuum filter. Again, these materials are effective because they are durable, flexible, cleanable, and with the rubber nozzle no bristles can fall off or obstruct the suction. This “multi-function suction machine” would have an assortment of attachable nozzles and a “collection jar” to pour out various collected items from a tabletop. Things like tiny toy pieces, crafting beads, precious stones, or earring backs or etc into their original container. One attachment could basically be a magnetic bar; used to pick up sharp metal objects like pins or needles. Recently one person mentioned she would have used something like this while building a dollhouse for her granddaughter. A final note: many small tabletop crafting machines like sewing, paper cutters, scrapbooking, jewelry making kits, etc. are sold on QVC. This is not a mere mini-vacuum but at ‘multi-use suction machine’! It would be a great product to sell along side some of their very popular and big selling craft machinesProduct Comparison
- Mini Vac MV- and iessential pictured in image. does not work, but like the rubber oval nozzle.

- One nozzle is flexible, size of a drinking straw -approx. 5' long, the end is made of rubber instead of bristles that stuff can get tangled onto.
- The machine stands upright on a table top, does not fall over, and can be stored in a cute irresistable case.
