<\/p>\n
A snake walking system was actually patented. It\u2019s extremely confusing, pointless, and strange. The snake walking device was patented, so people could safely collar snakes in order to spend more quality time with their reptile outside.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Originally patented in 1970, this device is a portable bath capsule. We believe this device is quite strange. The capsule was made to slip over the patient and then filled with water. This would then clean the patient faster and in a more efficient way.<\/p>\n

![\"http:\/\/www.postfun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/crustless-pb-and-j--61165.jpg\"](\"https:\/\/cdn.thedesigninspiration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/07\/http-www-postfun-com-wp-content-uploads-2018-11-1-3.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
Smucker\u2019s attempted to patent their sealed crustless peanut butter and jelly sandwich, in 2005. Many lawyers found this invention to be unlikely, and it became the laughing stock for many. It\u2019s quite impossible to patent something so common.<\/p>\n
Fly Swatter<\/h2>\n
![\"http:\/\/www.postfun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/STealth-Fly--54515.jpg\"](\"https:\/\/cdn.thedesigninspiration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/07\/http-www-postfun-com-wp-content-uploads-2018-11-1-4.jpeg\")

<\/p>\n
In 1979, this patent was filed. It expressed concern that long-haired dogs get their ears dirty with food, while they are trying to eat. The device has two tubes that would slip over the dog\u2019s ears, while something in the back attaches to them both- holding them both up.<\/p>\n
Banana Case<\/h2>\n
![\"http:\/\/www.postfun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bananan-77003.jpg\"](\"https:\/\/cdn.thedesigninspiration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/07\/http-www-postfun-com-wp-content-uploads-2018-11-1-7.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
It can be frustrating when you buy bananas, but they bruise before you can eat them. This invention acts like a banana suitcase, as it keeps your fruit safe while you travel.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve ever wanted to carry your gerbil to the store, then this is the invention for you. The vest or belt is integrated with a tubular system that extends around the person\u2019s body. The outer-wall is transparent so the animal can be seen by others.<\/p>\n

![\"http:\/\/www.postfun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/disposable-11149.jpg\"](\"https:\/\/cdn.thedesigninspiration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/07\/http-www-postfun-com-wp-content-uploads-2018-11-1-9.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
The idea for this invention and also the description of this patent is that there is a need for clean underwear universally. The original patent was for the underwear to be made out of material similar to VIVA paper towels. This would allow for them to fit like a standard boxer.<\/p>\n
Flatulence Deodorizer<\/h2>\n
![\"http:\/\/www.postfun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/2-Flatulence-74089.jpg\"](\"https:\/\/cdn.thedesigninspiration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/07\/http-www-postfun-com-wp-content-uploads-2018-11-1-10.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
The people who created this are just trying to make the world smell a little better. If you\u2019re worried about fluctuating, there\u2019s an invention for that. It\u2019s apparently made up of charcoal pads which absorb and filter the flatulence.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
This device relates to how the diaper is stored before use. The point of this patent is that any kind of encasement where it is unclear that a diaper is stored within is fair game. This also includes a diaper that is denser, that way it would be able to hold more volume.<\/p>\n
Human Slingshot<\/h2>\n
![\"http:\/\/www.postfun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/human-slingshot-73307.jpg\"](\"https:\/\/cdn.thedesigninspiration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/07\/http-www-postfun-com-wp-content-uploads-2018-11-1-15.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
1995, was when the original Human Slingshot machine was patented. But, the rubber strands would deteriorate quickly- which was a huge problem. This device is used to practically sling the rider into the air, and cause them to undergo a vertically oscillatory motion.<\/p>\n

![\"http:\/\/www.postfun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/moustrap-84185.jpg\"](\"https:\/\/cdn.thedesigninspiration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/07\/http-www-postfun-com-wp-content-uploads-2018-11-1-16.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
The first mouse trap was originally patented in 1976, and since then- there has been a ton of people who have tried to one-up it. There was a patent that fixed a spring problem, in 2003.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
To lower its utility bills, in 2008, Google filed a patent application for a \u201cwater-based data center\u201d. This device would consist of a cargo ship or a barge equipped to take energy from tides and convert it to electricity. They could turn around and use that energy to power row after row of computer servers for Google\u2019s information network.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Another patent that was filed by Google was a weird one. It\u2019s called \u201cHand Gestures to Signify What is Important\u201d. It\u2019s hard to believe that they actually want to claim the hand gesture that \u201cforms around an area bounded by two hands in a shape of a symbolic heart\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Kissing Shield<\/h2>\n
![\"http:\/\/www.postfun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/U.S-Patent-28232.jpg\"](\"https:\/\/cdn.thedesigninspiration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/07\/http-www-postfun-com-wp-content-uploads-2018-11-1-19.jpeg\")

<\/p>\n
This is a very strange looking device. But, if you can get passed the look of this device- then at least your neck wouldn\u2019t ache. This device uses the motion of the shoes to give the user a neck massage.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
There are many carry-out containers that had been patented before. But, in 2008, this product stood out for its lack of originality. The only addition it had to other patents was that it came with wax paper. The wax paper actually proved to be effective in preserving the food.<\/p>\n
