Innovation knows no bounds, especially when it comes to the mundane task of cleaning your house. Inventors have long been coming up with bizarre and sometimes hilarious solutions to make household chores easier, or at least more interesting. From the practical to the peculiar, let’s dive into some of the strangest patents filed for house cleaning.
Imagine a mop that not only tackles dust and grime but also adds a touch of rhythm to your cleaning routine. As you glide across your floors, the mop plays your favourite tunes, turning mundane chores into a dance-worthy experience. Picture yourself swaying to the beat while effortlessly wiping away spills and stains.
Whether it’s a catchy pop song or a soothing melody, this musical mop transforms cleaning sessions into mini dance parties. So, put on your cleaning shoes, crank up the volume, and let the rhythm guide your mop strokes!
Imagine a superhero gadget that swoops in to save the day, whisking away pesky dust particles with magnetic finesse. Well, this patent isn’t exactly Iron Man’s suit, but it’s close!
The Magnetic Dust Removing Apparatus is like a tiny dust ninja, stealthily patrolling the air, ready to snatch up any unruly dust motes. Its mission? To keep the air clean and extend the life of filter materials
It has a number of components that make everything work:
1. Dust Collecting Units: This apparatus boasts multiple dust-collecting units. Each unit is like a mini vacuum cleaner with a magnetic twist.
2. Permanent Magnet Magic: Inside each unit, there’s a group of magnetic force sticks. These sticks are like magnets on steroids, ready to attract any magnetic dust particles.
3. Cylinder Sleuths: The housing of each unit contains a group of cylinders. These cylinders span the inner cavity, creating a secret passage for the dust to enter.
3. Magnetic Stick Dance: When the air flows through, the magnetic force sticks do their dance. They slide in and out of magnetic force stick isolation sleeves, capturing dust like a pro.
4. Control Center: An electric control system manages the show. It opens one dust-collecting unit while closing the others. It’s like a traffic cop directing dust traffic!
5. Sound Waves and Air Hammers: But wait, there’s more! This device has sound wave vibrators and air hammers. They give the housing a gentle tap, shaking loose any stubborn dust clinging to the walls.
In recent years, outbreaks of infectious diseases have underscored the importance of personal protection. Enter the wearable air cleaner, a clever invention that combines practicality with health-conscious style. Imagine a hat that not only shields you from the sun but also purifies the air you breathe.
Here’s how it works:
1. The Hat: Picture your favourite cap, but with a twist. This hat incorporates an air-cleaning device right into its design. No need for bulky masks or respirators—just put on your trusty hat, and you’re good to go!
2. Fan Power: Inside the hat, a fan unit quietly hums to life. Its mission? To pull air through the device. As you go about your day, the fan draws in ambient air, like a gentle breeze on a warm afternoon.
3. Particle Capture: The heart of the system lies in the air filter. As air flows through, the filter captures tiny particles—dust, pollen, and even those pesky airborne viruses. It’s like having a miniature superhero guarding your breath.
4. Ultraviolet (UV) Light Magic: But wait, there’s more! The air-cleaning device also boasts a secret weapon: ultraviolet light. UV light has disinfecting superpowers—it zaps bacteria and viruses, rendering them harmless. So, as the air passes through, it gets a UV bath, like a spa day for molecules.
5. Front-Forward Airflow: Now, here’s the cool part. The filtered and disinfected air doesn’t just stay inside the hat—it’s pushed forward, right in front of you. You breathe in this purified goodness, feeling like a futuristic explorer in your own personal bubble of freshness.
Another bizarre invention is the Motorised Ice Cream Cone (US5971829A), which, while not directly related to cleaning, could arguably prevent messes made by melting ice cream. Imagine enjoying your favourite frozen treat without the hassle of drips and sticky fingers – a dream come true for clean freaks.
The motorised ice cream cone has 3 components:
1. Hand-held housing: This serves as the main body of the device, allowing users to hold and manipulate it comfortably.
2. Rotating cup: The cup is rotatably supported by the hand-held housing. It is specifically designed to receive and contain a portion of ice cream or any similarly malleable food product.
3. Drive mechanism: Located within the hand-held housing, the drive mechanism imparts rotation to the cup. As a result, the ice cream or food inside the cup is sculpted and rotated, making it easier to consume.
The innovative feature of this motorised ice cream cone lies in its ability to feed the contents directly against a person’s outstretched tongue. Whether at an amusement park or a fun gathering, this whimsical device adds an element of playfulness to the act of enjoying frozen treats.
