1. A hat that is also a radio. (USA, 1931)
2. A bike for the entire family… that also has a built in sewing machine. (USA, 1939)
3. A piano for bedridden people. (England, 1935)
4. A shield to protect the face during snow storms and blizzards. (Canada, 1939)
5. Glasses that enable you to read while lying down. (England, 1936)

and just why isnt the last one still a thing

I need a bike with a sewing machine in it. Like, yesterday. Well, maybe not yesterday. It snowed a lot yesterday. Okay, universe, you have until the spring to get me one of these.

Piano for bedridden people?! That’s awesome. I also want a face shield.
