Patent No. 4833729: "Shark Protector Suit"

According to inventors Nelson C. Fox and Rosetta H.V.G. Fox, “Known shark protection and underwater suits have not provided sufficient deterrence to sharks, since sharks are able to clamp their mouths around the limb of a person in the water.” Not so with their suit, which they patented in 1989. It completely covers the body and face, is partially lined with flotation material, and is equipped from head to toe with “a plurality of spikes extending outward therefrom to prevent a shark from clamping its jaws over the wearer.”

US PATENT FOR THE EYELASH CURLERCharles M. Palmer, Washington, D. C. ~ 1950

"This invention is directed to eyelash curlers and more particularly to the front component of a rubber pad clamping jaw having its rear component slidably guided by spaced vertical shanks of a wire frame to which a crank portion of an actuating handle is pivotally con- nected and also operatively associated with the rear component of the jaw to actuate the latter on displacement of the handle towards or away from an arcuate bar anchored to the upper portions of the shanks. Specifically hitherto the lower portion of the front component was pivotally retained against removal on a fulcrum pin carried by the crank, thus precluding complete access to the inside surfaces of both the front and rear components for cleaning. Also in production and particularly during stamping operations, slight increments in length occur in the front component due to variations in temper of the metal thus providing difficulties in assembly. The primary object is to removably mount the front component on the fulcrum pin pivotally sustaining the rear component by interrupting the offset tail portion of the front component with a slot leading to the lower edge of the tail portion and in communication with a semi-circular opening to define a fork constituted by a pair of spaced tines adapted to removably straddle the fulcrum pin received into the semi-circular opening characterizing a bearing pivotally retained on the fulcrumpin."

iBikeApple's smart bike concept is like the Nike+ running system, but for those on two wheels. In addition to seeing pertinent data from you (heart rate, etc.) and the bike (speed, distance, etc.) on your iPod or iPhone, the system could be used as a tool for group communication when biking with others.

iKeyChances are your iPhone has already replaced your compact camera, MP3 player and handheld gaming console, but Apple could take the convergence a step further and replace your keys. The Cupertino company has patented the idea that your iPhone could unlock your car and home with a proximity-based PIN code system.
