My invention is the CordSnake
I developed the CordSnake on my construction jobs. It was a lot of fun to start with a basic idea, and then develop it step-by-step into a working prototype. I filed my own Provisional Patent Application and then my own Utility Patent. I don't necessarily recommend that, but the CordSnake is such a simple device that I decided to go it on my own.

- Most of my comment did not go through. I had a successful product which sold on QVC. I learned very fast how to sell an idea mfg shipping etc. I also saved much money by doing my prov. patent patent search drawings myself. Now I would like to help others to save money with their ideas. So if anyone would need my help on their idea they can email me brandy2102003@yahoo.com. I also did video tapes which part of my comment is on the other comment which only half went through. I am now also in sales trying a new venture there.

- Mike: My invention is protected by patent. It is an insulated crawlspace vent that is designed like a picture frame that glues in the block from the outside and has
2" of foam insulation and a screen mounted on the inside. The object is to have a vent that attaches by glueing to the outside, and allows an insulated door to be removed for summer and installed for winter. I can fax info pictures, but don't have the knowledge to upload on pc.

How Do I get my information on my invention to you to be posted.
