Greg, hoover straps, WoW! You could also use it to tow a car, lift and move furniture, a hammock, tie up a terrorist, the possibilities are endless. And Ralph, the wedgee squeegee, another WOW. You could use it to do corners when mudding and taping dry wall corners, clean out leaves in your rain gutters, get brown recluse spiders in corners, use as a back scratcher, clean the mud off of your pickup trucks running boards, the possibilities are endless. Now I know you guys are as serious as me.

Matt Spangard,

Have you given any thought to publishing a list of all the finalists? Even just a list of product titles by category would be interesting.

Thanks for your consideration,

Mark Yoss

I too have several toilet ideas. The latest is the Wedgee Squeegee to replace toilet paper. Initial reactions are not good because of the common misconception that what you use to wipe must be more sanitary than what you wipe. Really? As a result, I’ve moved on to the Toilet Wand waterjet hose nozzle. You hook it up between the pipe and the tank to blast away skid marks before they set. Still battling my new toilet.

But if you carry that thing around. You’ll be carrying germs and urine. I don’t know if you know this but in some men’s restrooms they have paper seats you can just grab out of the box and place it on the toilet after you wipe it down.

Hi Greg: I already try to make it that fit in a purse, but they probably need another purse,Do you know all the stuff they carry in a purse? I have already the bag for it. Hi Jim:Thank you, This a serious stuff, This seat is being doing good for me, I Just go in set my seat and that’s it, While others are cleaning and spreading paper around the seat, I’m already done. ( I fill sorry for them ) God Bless You Both.

Angel,
There’s a novelty item that’s a toilet seat with a headrest, or a chin-rest, or something like that to help with those nasty hangovers spent worshipping at the porcelain altar. It started out as a joke, but sales showed there must have been some useful application that was initially unseen and unanticipated! So, I wasn’t kidding earlier because who really ever knows how well an invention will sell until it’s given a chance. And who will say a word if it does prove to be a big seller anyway?

Great attitude Angel. Get that thing down to purse size and my wife will be first in line.

In the mean time….with it being Valentine’s Day and all….I thought of a temporary solution…I took a seat belt strap about 6 ft. long and put two grappling hooks on both ends….rolled it up and put it in my wife’s purse….it is not quite as refined as your seat, but I told her next time she goes into the stall, just toss one of those grappling hooks over the left stall wall, and one over the right…..then sit on the strap like a swing,….scoot back a tad while holding on tight.
The “HoverStraps” also double as a weapon and in an emergency, can be twirled at a high rate of speed ..think Bruce Lee nunchucks here.
I will let you know what she thinks about her Batman-esque little purse treasure once she tries it out.

Thank You Katherine: I have too many bad experiences my self, that’s why I came with that Idea, It’s not only good to prevent a person to get germs, is also very comfortable, I got a big red X but that wont stop me, I know what I have. I’m going to get it patented and submit it again, Next time the seat is going to be white and I’m going to do a better presentation.Also a different name.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

That CANT be right…I didn’t get that call…LOL Does that mean I should expect the BIG RED X on my fitness product?

Hey Guys,
I just personally called the last person on our to-call list. Everybody has now officially been contacted. We really appreciate everybody who participated and are looking forward to seeing the finalists in Charlotte in a couple of weeks!

Angel…since I’ve had first time experience using a bucket on a chartered fishing boat (and I’ve been on a few with bathrooms, too), I can see these things sold in every boating/fishing/marine supply store as another market for you. Lots of boats out there without bathrooms.

Hi Matt.. is this still the current status?

Hey Guys,
I know of at least one more person that we need to contact from the Open Search. I’ll be sure to post as soon as I know everybody has been contacted.

Angel,
Your invention could possibly be the perfect solution for men not putting the seat down again after use! Heck, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to issue one to every gal in the house. Could definitely be a big seller!

Hi Matt.. any updates on this one?

Thank you for the comment Richard, The one I make for my self I use to take it in a grocery bag, now I have it in my Briefcase. I being using it for over two years. God Bless You. Angel

Wow Angel, just slip it in your pocket and take it anywhere.

This is my product:

Can I change the name of my first invention that I submit, and for some reason does not show in the contest ( saniseat )

Good Luck Everyone. God Bless You All.

Hi ggoo, I’ll bet you can get a ton of help, but your question is a bit vague. I see you are an Insider. Keep submitting. If you are trying to submit to the casting calls that is done accepting ideas. If you look on your dashboard there are searches still open….I think ASOTV, Insider open, and Egolf.

Your level 3 must be in the Insider open search if you submitted it with hopes of getting on the show. There is an outside chance of that still, I believe, but it is still in the regular (non-televised) Insider Search, which is still taking more new ideas…so get submitting.:-)

Congratulations to all who are going to North Carolina. I am still at level 3 and somewhat confused and nervous. Do I continue to wait or continue resubmitting.

Congrats Big Peter!!!!! You Stayed “Green and On the Scene”!

I am home Matt, if you need to reach me. lol lol

Matt, take some from the ASOTV 4th quarter! ;) Just saying.

Hey Guys,
I know of at least one more person that we need to contact from the Open Search. I’ll be sure to post as soon as I know everybody has been contacted.

Congrats everyone, this will be amazing!

Matt – can you confirm? Are there really still more to be chosen?

Oh the insanity! I was just starting to come to terms that I was not going to Charlotte.
Wow this really will be like the golden tickets. If you recall just when Charlie thought the last ticket had been found. Bam! He found the true last golden ticket. Come on GOLD.

Wow … I am really behind with the news here.. Well with cleaning the dust off bunnies around the castle and thinking of ways to recruit new X’s I have been out of touch with the real world ..
So congratulations to Maura & Peter … Rock on!

Hey Roger, no you didn’t miss a post, it looks like there may be a few more coming from the open search.

Haven’t been here in a few days. Heard EN sent out some more golden tickets. Congratulaions to all of you. Looking forward to meeting you and am sure ready for some of that Barbeque. Good luck everyone! Aloha Charlie

Congratulations everyone who’s going!
My one entry didn’t make it, but I still hope to meet you all there because of my Insider’s idea.
The 25th is just around the corner!

Hi Everybody,
It looks like our team identified a few more ideas that they wanted to see in Charlotte over the weekend and have been contacting inventors today.

I will post right here when they are absolutely done contacting all of those from the Open search who are selected to come to Charlotte.

Did I miss a post or are they still deciding?

@Carlos, keep your fingers crossed!

@Sherri, thank you, and the list is great!

WoooHooo, Congratulations Peter!! Want to add you to our list here so folks can see when they click in!!

So exciting that they did the Casting Calls this way for Season 4…Lots of fun and action for Edison Nation and hope that someone does indeed get some photos or videos of the weekend event when/if it’s allowed!! Good Luck everybody!! :-)

LOL…That sounds great Peter, I look forward to my toy…

@Carlos, yes you did- thank you! This is a brand new Toy- never seen by human eyes before… If I win, I’ll send you one of the toys!

Hey Peter, congrats…I believe I saw some of your toy products on Quirky and told you to submit it to EN…I want my cut…lol Good luck!!

Ok Jane…I just got off the phone with Mr. Depp. He’s saying it’s just past midnite EST, and he thought we’d have a deal by now since more casting call winners would be announced. I bought some time in case your phone was off the hook or busy all day (sharing all the g7 news), and negotiated for both of us, and here’s where we’re at:

He discovered he’s afraid of hurricanes and sharks. Therefore, he’ll give the yacht AND the island to our two families and a reasonable living allowance for our (yours and my) combined royalties. After Mr. Depp has received the reasonable sum to cover the island, yacht, and our living expenses to that point in time, the balance of the royalties become ours to share as per the original terms of the contract, ok?

Soooo, check that phone and make sure there was no operator error. Hm, I just had another card idea.

Way to go Jim, and good luck to everyone who goes!

Gotta call Depp back and take back all those cancelled orders….

down, biskit. dooowwwn boy. still G3 ;-)
