Invention Needed A Casting Reel where the level wind system disengages after retrieve and folds out and away from the spool.
This would allow for an open spool free of the level wind system during the cast! Granting longer casts because. 1. There is no friction of the gears as they run the level wind system on cast. 2. There is no interference with the line feeding out by the level wind eyelet.
Ocean surf casting reels operate without a level wind system at all. However the user is required to manually spool the line during retrieve. By using the hand that is holding the rod to guide the line in evenly on the spool. That sounds completely arthritic to me!
But what if the level wind system did that for you and was hinged on the side opposite the retrieve handle? Also the line would come out of the level wind eyelet as the hinge is moved out to the left for the casting position?
It would seem to me to be the best of both worlds.
The button that disengages the spool could also release the level wind bar from the side by the reel handle. Spring loaded it would hinge to the left on a right handed reel and lock in place. Perhaps the level wind eyelet would also separate at the top and move forward before the level wind bar swung to the left. The rest of the cast is the same.

Another way it could be accomplished is for the level wind eyelet to separate in two and retract down into the bar. Thereby being below the level where the line feeds out on cast.
The level wind eyelet itself could fold downward and lock in place there upon cast. Perhaps always being split on the top of it.

Invention Needed: Rivet on Feet 07 05 2018
Invention Needed: Rivet on Feet 07 05 2018
Ever make something? Perhaps a Desk Clock case or something that stands on a table or kitchen counter?
And you ask yourself, "How easy would it be if I could just drill a hole and rivet on a foot for it in two steps?
Rivet on "feet". Would be just that. You would use a rivet gun.
The feet could be made of rubber, Polyurethane or something with felt bonded to it.
Wouldn't that be great?
You could buy a bag of 50 of them from China (or America) for $3.00?
I don't see anything like that on the market today.
They could come in 1/8" and larger 1/4" rivet size.
I riveted a handle onto my metal garbage can with a 1/4" Rivet and it has lasted and looks like it will continue to last. A spot weld didn't.

Inventions Needed: Black Holofil and a Belt Loop Flashlight 05 18 2018
Inventions Needed: Black Holofil and a Belt Loop Flashlight 05 18 2018
Black Holofil would likely be warmer!
A flashlight that you wear on your belt. Makes use of it hands free. Has two belt loops on the back of it. Is made sturdy so it doesn't break. Aluminum back frame. Led Tech.

Inventions Needed: Fixed Barrel Handgun with non contiguous cylinder 03 07 2018
Inventions Needed: Fixed Barrel Handgun with non contiguous cylinder 03 07 2018
In this type of gun the cylinder would not be a cylinder but rather more like a chain belt or linkage. Whereby the cylinder could hold more cartridges. But the main advantage being that 1. the barrel is fixed and therefore more accurate and 2. that there is no loss of muzzle velocity through blowback recoil.
Indeed the chain cylinder could be fed from a standard magazine. The cylinder could also perhaps just be three cartridges capacity and fed from the magazine. A Four cylinder would seem to be the most ideal as the top cylinder bullet is firing the bottom cartridge is being loaded.
It amazes me why no one has ever perfected this before?
Upon firing a round and cylinder rotation the spend cartridge could be ejected in a downward directional manner.
The 3rd main advantage being that it has a higher capacity than a revolver.
There is also another 4th main advantage to it.
The 5th main advantage would be that this design would also make on of the best known army rifles there is! For the above reasons.
So the search term to look for to see if it has been done before would be "cartridge fed revolver."

Looks like it has! The design looks a little clumsy though.

No, that isn't really a magazine fed revolver because it doesn't use standard cartridges and the revolver isn't a cylinder. It is a cylinder with gapped sides. So indeed no one has perfected this.
One would think that it would be a very simple problem to invent one with very few moving parts. Would be a great project for an engineering contest.
I saw an old woman driving in car today. On the back of her car was a sticker or two that indicated she had three advanced engineering degrees. I thought to myself, "There isn't anything that I couldn't design more intelligently than you and engineer better." To me that statement just represents reality. And is indeed supported by my lifetime experience.

A Slotted Ball/Cylinder Clevis for Fishing Lures 01 16 2018
A Slotted Ball/Cylinder Clevis for Fishing Lures 01 16 2018
This would be a clevis that is either a ball or a cylinder with a slot in it. The spinning blade would fit into that slot which is affixed on the side of the ball cylinder. And those two items would be fitted over and onto the wire shaft of the lure; the hole in the spinner blade aligned with to and over the wire shaft.
Also there could be more than one slot for the accommodation of more than one spinning blade.
Novel interpretations could include a collar that fits over the top to make the blades interchangeable by the user after completion. Such that the hole in the blade fits over the top eyelet screw.
The ball/cylinder could be made from nylon or metal, or other materials with the appropriate material strength parameters.
There could be some slack in the slot in order to facilitate a rattle in conjuction with the blade spinning attraction.
And the downward angle of the slot could be chosen so that different degrees of spin are fixed. Most likely 45 degrees.
The purpose of the invention is to assure that the spinner blade is always spinning during fishing retrieve.
The invention could also include an arm extending from the ball/cylinder with a secure clasp and over-mold to the tip of the spinner blade that has the "eyelet hole" in it.
Patent/ process to be applied for when funded.
