New Invention

Now, I don't want to brag, but I just came up with about the handiest, dandiest invention.

I could probably make a bajillion dollars on this, but I thought I would share it with you fellers.

If you are a member of FWW, I'll let you copy the design for free, but you have to promise not to share it too wide before I get a patent on it.

I like to use notecards to take notes on, well, because they are named, 'note cards'. But when I have a stack of them all stacked up, they tend to go all over.

So I came up with this idea. It's a binder clip, and I used a screw to attach it to a little board.

I'm going to call it a 'clip board'. And I made it just the right size to hold my 'note cards'.

Hopefully it's heavy enough so that the wind won't blow the whole darn thing away.

Now promise you won't let this secret out. I've got to go call a lawyer and start through the process to get this patented!

Can you do a tutorial, it looks complicated!

Jay Caughron · Sep 17, 2013

Hey I got an improvement idea for ya put some sticky stuff on the pack side of the paper and then you can peel one off and stick it to something........ :yes:

And to think that at one time the US patent office stopped issuing patents because they thought everything useful had already been invented. :thumb:

One drawback......can only be used by right handed people. Speaking from experience...............I would have to hold it upside down to use it with my left handedness. Keep in mind that everyone is born right handed...........however...........the superior ones overcome the handicap. :wave:

Al Launier · Sep 17, 2013

Now that is creative imagination at work. I simply cannot comprehend how you could could conceive of anything so useful. How long did this take you to develop this device?

Stuart Ablett · Sep 17, 2013

I think you had better round those corners off, or OSHA is going to require a six part training seminar for each sale! :doh:

Fear not, my incorrectly-oriented friend! The left-handed version is currently in development. I managed to get my hands on a picture of the prototype:

I at least used an orange binder clip for visibility (and because the only other ones sharon had were purple and pink)

lol.java
1 class ofitsown {
2 public static void main(String[] args) {
3 System.out.println("Brilliant"); // Display the string.
4 }
5 }

Roger Pozzi · Sep 18, 2013

I see some potentially dangerous safety issues...........

Jeff Bower · Sep 18, 2013

I'm gonna give you another idea for it. Glue a magnet to the back and you could attach it to your frig to make grocery lists!! I can really see this invention snowball into lots of uses! Thanks for sharing! :thumb:

You know, I've got a bunch of RE magnets. That is going to happen!

I like it! And I bet if you press hard enough and make lots of lines back and forth it reveals something that resembles wood grain.

Hmmmmmmmmmm........make yer own veneer!!! Use different colored pencils for pine, walnut, etc. The possibilities are almost endless.
