It was indeed a “daily meeting” brainstorm, like Uwe Bezold says, so on the toilet. There he ponders Engineer from Bayreuthwho works in an office building in Zurich – where many use the same toilets – about the toilet brush. “Almost everything is now contactless: pulling off, cleaning the toilet seat, the tap, a dispenser for disinfectant – but everyone has to hold the toilet brush by the handle,” he says at the Inventors’ Salon in Geneva. “That’s a gap in the hygiene chain.”
And so Bezold developed a toilet brush frame with simple means – “a bit of tin and plastic”. At “Cleanstem” gripping arms with disinfectant slide down the handle when you pedal. Hospitals, old people’s homes, hotels, restaurants – he sees a wide field for his invention and, like hundreds of exhibitors, is looking for it at the Inventors’ Salon Business partnerwho want to take up his idea.
Presented at the inventors’ fair: Bayreuther invents a self-cleaning toilet brush
The Inventors Fair takes place from Wednesday to April 30th. Of course it’s about tough business: More than 800 exhibitors are looking for financially strong investors. 80 percent of the exhibitors are companies and institutes that offer solutions to tricky technological problems or innovations in areas such as Environment and mobility imagine, and more than half are from China, including Hong Kong. Tinkerers who tinker in the garage at home on inventions for everyday problems are rather rare, but they exist.
In the case of Lucyle Carrara from Geneva, it was son Aaron who gave her a “toilet-rich” idea when it came to the tiresome subject of potty training. She has the black one Sticker “Crocodisk” developed, which is glued into the potty and when peed brings a colorful crocodile or unicorn to light. So it was child’s play, Aaron on that potty to get. The sticker can also be stuck in the toilet bowl, says Carrara. “By the way, target peeing to reveal a colorful crocodile also attracts fathers of small children,” she laughs. The sticker is indestructible when cleaning, and a contribution to environmental ProtectionCarrara thinks, because the faster the children are clean, the fewer diapers are needed.
And then there’s the Toilet paper roll with lighting: The Toadylight frame makes the reel look like a mushroom, the bumpy surface glows in the dark with yellow, green or orange phosphorescence. Eric Vassaux of Geneva says many people don’t want to turn on the light when going to the toilet at night. They find their way to the loo blindly, but often not that Paper. “Not everyone has a toilet paper roll holder. The roll is often somewhere on a cupboard or the floor,” he says. Hence the light. The frame can also be used with suction cup attach to the wall. For around 50 euros, he says, this can be brought to men and women.
Muscle training against incontinence: the company promises success
The also deals with the toilet business in the broadest sense QRC company from Liechtenstein. It promises to train the pelvic floor and other core muscles without any effort. That could incontinence and heal back pain, says Managing Director Emiel Spiessens. “As we age, muscle strength decreases, and targeting these muscles is difficult,” he says. Anyone who takes a seat in their armchair will feel the pulsating magnetic stimulation in the seat like a tingling sensation on their ass, that’s all. But the muscle work will be done, he assures. Hospitals and retirement homes have already reported continued success.
