New Product Inventions

Laundry Hamper Becomes Washer

new inventions New product inventions are submitted annually to the Electrolux Design Lab Competition. University student and inventor, Guopeng Liang, qualified as one of nine finalist.

Six hundred inventors from 49 countries entered the competition, which invites graduate and undergraduate industrial design students to create new inventions in appliances.

Liang's invention is the "ibasket", a transparent acrylic glass, plastic and aluminum laundry hamper that automatically washes your clothes when it is full.

"I don't have a lot of time to take care of my clothes, nor do I like to," says Leang, a student at Tongji University in China. "I believe the iBasket offers a much more convenient alternative."

The iBasket is programmed to initiate washing once a specific weight is accumulated. It has a built-in air refresh system, LED display panel and wireless messaging capability.

The iBasket can also text message your cell phone or PC when your laundry is done.

PajamaJeans

latest inventions PajamaJeans are the latest invention in clothing. The trend towards clothing that is "snuggie" and "cozy" yet stylish and fashionable continues with this new product.

As the name suggests PajamaJeans are designer jeans that wear and feel like pajamas.

The company's slogan says it best, "the pajamas to live in - the jeans to sleep in".

"We noticed people wearing pajamas on airplanes and in grocery stores. But a lot of people have mixed feelings about it because they think it's inappropriate and sloppy," says Stacey Buonanno of The Pajama Company.

"We thought it would be easy to take a pair of jeans, style them similar to a yoga pant, give them all the jean detailing, but make them stretchy and soft so that you wouldn't mind wearing them to bed," she says.

The secret is a proprietary blend of spandex and cotton called "dormisoft", which gives the feel and wear of pajamas but look like designer jeans including high contrast stitching and brass rivets.

Heated Gloves

One of the new product inventions in clothing is a thin, flexible, polymer film within the fabric of gloves that conducts electricity to create heat.

The film reacts to the temperature of your hands and regulates electrical current in the fabric from a rechargeable battery in the wrist.

If your hands are warm, the conductivity reduces and shuts off the current flow thereby preserving the energy from the battery.

Doggy Door

latest-technology-invention This latest technology invention from Joe Ambrose and Pet Doors USA allows your pet to exit and enter your home through a electronic motorized door.

So every time nature calls, you don't have to play doorman.

A programmed, waterproof, battery free, "RFID" chip is attached to your pet's collar. The door slides open when your pet approaches, and closes after your pet goes through. It works like an automatic garage door opener.

A shatter resistant, metal framed, ABS plastic panel is mounted in your door. It has a stainless steel locking bar to maintain security and is air tight for energy efficiency.

The chip won't interfere with security systems. The door won't close if obstructed or free fall with power failure. The motor will not freeze and the chip's pet code is easily changed to unlimited combinations.
