1. Seed Of Many Famous Inventions Spawned From Other Men's Ideas By HARRY FERGUSON WASHINGTON (UP1) Most famous inventors merely took an other man's idea and improved on ii. you do not have to come up with something entirely new to get a patent. The Wright Brothers invented the airplane after reading about the work of Otto Lilienthal. a German who manufactured glid ers. Galileo did not invent the telescope because of a sudden in spiration but because he had heard about experiments with lenses performed by a Belgian named Hans Lippershey. - Even the most simple thing can be improved upon and patented. The other day patent No. 3,085, 272 was granted to Laverne M. Cowan of Covington, Ga., for a tooth brush. His iripa was In kpi the bristles into the handle in the torm ot an X. To apply for a patent you make a drawing of your invention, write a letter describing it and mail them, along with $30, to the U.S. Patent Office. Your applica tion will go to one of the patent onfice's 1,000 examiners who will determine whether you have come up with a novel idea. If the ap plication is granted, you have ex clusive rights to your invention for 17 years, but only in the United States and its territories. Aftr that the invention goes into tne public domaui. Unless you get a patent in every country in the world, anybody in a foreign nation can take your idea and go into business without paying you anything. Patience Pays Off Patience is a virtue which ev ery inventor must cultivate. It frequently takes 20 or 30 years to develop his idea to the point where it becomes commercially teasible and profitable. The zip per, for instance, is in such wide spread use today that most per sons assume it was an instantan eous success. Actually the basic idea was patented in 1891 by Whiteomb L. Judson who called his idea "a clasp locker and un locker for shoes." It was made of hooks and eyes with a sliding clasp and Judson soon extended the idea to wom en's dresses and sold his product tor 35 cents. Complaints began rolling in immediately. There was no way to lock the first zipper and when women sat down, their dresses popped open. Judson cpuld not devise a solution to the prob lem and died without cashing in on his invention. A momentary discomfort or ir ritation frequently results in an invention. Patent No. 6,469 was; issued to Abraham Lincoln be cause on a trip down the Miss on a dam. He devised a set of bellows placed just below the water line ot the hull, and the idea was that when the bellows were pumped up the boat would float free. There is no record that his invention ever was put into production, and a few years la ter he became preoccupied with larger matters. . Invents New Scrapbook Mark Twain ran out of glue one day when he was pasting items into his scrapbook and im mediately put aside literary mat ters to concentrate on the prob lem. The result was that he got patent No. 121,992 for what was described as a "self pasting scrapbook." It was simply a se ries of blank pages coated with paste, and he sold 25,000 of them. Few persons have heard of Al fred E. Ischinger of Mount Penn, Pa., but he is a famous man in the U.S. Patent Office. In 1937 hej set a record for the largest doc umentation of an invention 170 sheets of drawings and 146 pages of specifications. His m idline was for "the uninterrupted knitting of shaped fabrics."
