After months of research at the U.S. Patent Office—the repository of delightfully improbable dreams—Richard Ross amassed a collection of some of the most unique, odd, and awe-inspiring patent applications seen over the last century.
The result is Patently Ridiculous, a treasure trove of wacky and wonderful real-life inventions, including:
• Nasal filters
• Self-foaming shavers
• Umbrellas with ears
• Shoelace tip holders
Illustrated with the inventorsÂ' own diagrams, this lighthearted compilation is perfect for anyone seeking a completely different take on American know-how.
