Patents Bubblewrap, Bottlecaps, Barbed Wire, and Other Ingenious Inventions Hardcover - 2004

by Ben Ikenson


From the publisher

Patents is covered in bubble wrap, one of man's more ingenious creations. It includes dozens of notable patents, from the airplane, brassiere, chain saw, and fire hydrant to the Internet, parachute, plunger, and zipper. The purpose of each device is explained in accessible language, along with background about the inventor, interesting sidebars and history, and an excerpt from the original patent application. The artwork throughout includes photos of original models and patent diagrams created by the inventors themselves, annotated to show exactly how each item works.

First line

Although many of the United States's original thirteen colonies upheld some form of patent law, the original concept of the patent, as we now know it, was not a uniquely American idea.
