A hilarious compendium of the wackiest gadgets ever invented.
After months of research at the US 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 inventors own diagrams, this lighthearted compilation is perfect for anyone seeking a completely different take on American know-how.
