Crazy Patents: The Handy Dandy Halloween Backpack

Hello Party People,

This blog is dedicated to the Halloween backpack that comes in handy just about once per year. Halloween is a large celebration in the United States and thus someone went out of their way to create a device to make giving out candy a more optimal and efficient process. The abstract details the use of this backpack which is actually a front-pack because you are supposed to put the straps on your back then have a backpack like a beer belly that has chutes to pop the candy out for all to enjoy. It seems like a decent idea. This is not an obvious thing for people to think about when most would think about just grabbing a plastic or paper bag and passing out candy that way. With this idea, the next steps might be to create a specialized Valentines Day backpack so you can give all your Valentines candy easily. This idea was likely anticipated because of backpack being a very in use object by students worldwide and there could be a possibility for infringement on the already used patents on backpacks. Also, their descriptions of chutes off the backpack could also be open to infringement cases as well. Here is a link to that patent for you to check for yourself http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5878931.html .
