We believe that there has never been a better time to bring an invention to the marketplace than right now. A number of key factors have come together in the last decade, such as social media advertising, relatively cheap manufacturing overseas, 3D printing & crowd funding.
Now is the time to turn your ideas into reality!
The following products were designed, patented and manufactured by inventors who have done just that!
Grass
verges next to roads are often damaged by motorists.
While there are preventative measures like cones, boulders or plant pots
that can be used to protect them, these solutions are often
unappealing, impractical or unsightly.
Smart Fence is a revolutionary system that offers both functionality and aesthetics.
It has been carefully designed to prevent motorists causing damage to lawns and verges without the use of unsightly barriers.
Kevin Pringle, the innovator, successfully obtained his patent for Smart Fence in 2021 and is now seeking a licensing deal.

The Wheel Eazy is a unique tool designed to assist with the lifting and
locating of road wheels on to vehicle hubs and is intended to be used
where there is no access to a vehicle lift, such as by the roadside.
This tool significantly reduces lifting strain whilst notably improving body posture.
John
Creber, the innovator and registered patent holder of the Wheel Eazy,
successfully secured a UK licensing deal for his invention with the
reputable company Sealey Tools and it is now available for sale via
their network of stockists throughout the UK as well as online.

There are a wide variety of post boxes and parcel storage
solutions already available on the market today but the Gate Box offers a unique solution.
This innovative product provides a secure delivery and storage system that can be easily mounted on the inside of your property fence or garden gate keeping it safely
hidden away.
The deposit hatch is easily accessible from the outside of the fence due to the lift up handle, for ease of use by the delivery person.
Once parcels are deposited they are no longer accessible from the deposit hatch due to the security shelf, or by
persons on the outside of the fence. Parcels are secured in the locked gate box and are only accessible from inside the property perimeter with a key, allowing vulnerable recipients peace of mind that they never need to open the door to receive their mail.

After failing to find a door latch which suited his needs, Richard Crawford designed and 3D printed the HandleStay.
A door latch which doesn't require the need to bend down or have one hand free to use a hook, and is operated just by using the door handle itself.
Simply affixed to the wall behind the open door, the HandleStay latches on to the door handle, preventing the door from making impact with the wall and holding it securely in the open position.
When the door handle is turned, the HandleStay releases and the door can be closed.
Richard has been 3D printing his product and has successfully sold 300 units via Etsy.
