This project has been developed into an effective prototype featuring stainless steel design and powered by rechargeable batteries. Richard and John's wife, Beverly Houston, are looking for a marketing agent to help them to provide help and support to the thousands of individuals that would enjoy privacy while doing their bathroom activities and those other thousands of health care providers that strain their backs in lifting heavy patients from the bath seats.
Richard's own creations include among many other projects, a fishing rod holder to safely and securely hold fishing rods in the ceiling of a pickup topper. This basic design for the rod holder is very effective in securely holding an unattended rod on a lake or river bank or wooden fishing dock. The design accomodates either a spinning or casting rod.

Mario Schiaffino
Mario has invented a device that will make it easier to replace, install and exchange light fixtures and ceiling fans over the entire house and will also make it more convenient to replace those heavy mercury lights in warehouses, stadiums and big arenas and not only that but this could open a brand new market for people that rent because they will be able to buy a ceiling fan, chandelier and take it with them when they decide to move with out having to contract an electrician or asking the landlord. My future view of this device is that any new house will have it installed in the ceiling and every retailer will sell the light fixture and appliances with the plug already in it. Click for Images.
