Patently Ridiculous (signed)
by Richard Ross
Photographs: Richard Ross
Publisher: Plume
160 pages
Year: 2005
ISBN: 0452285879
Price: 18 €
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 inventors’ own diagrams, this lighthearted compilation is perfect for anyone seeking a completely different take on American know-how.
