Then you will get a look like Hagrid's and be in complete surprise that the drink popped on over bouncing off the bar three times without spilling magically and gracefully. The way I could see this being successfully done would be to actually put it on a spongy device and putting a lid on the glass as to avoid major spills with every drink made. Without magic, this seems out of luck. Overall, this is completely non obvious but a cool idea for the future I suppose. It could not have been anticipated. It also seems impossible that it could have infringed on anything because it has nothing concrete about the whole thing. Very interesting concept and idea but highly unlikely in practice.

Crazy Patents: Saved the Best for Last
Hello folks!
This here patent : http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5678617.html is quite interesting because it is an idea and not actually something that I could quite foresee as to how someone would create such a device. The device I am talking about is an apparatus that makes a drink hop along the bar making it from the bartender to the patron. The novelty of this patent is that it is a method. There is no application or feasible way that it could be done in the way they want it done. The patent describes the bartender as placing the drink down, hitting said button, and then the drink seemingly hops along the bar and gets to patron without them seeing the magic behind how it was done. Basically, you need magic.

Hey Kyle,
ReplyDeleteGreat choice for a silly patent. I loved reading this blog post, it was very informative and entertaining. I agree that this is a cool idea, that may only be feasible in reality with magic. :) It's interesting that this patent was approved. Overall, good job and thanks for sharing!
This was an awesome read! I really appreciated the humor and sarcasm because you really need it sometimes when considering silly things such as this.
