Patents and the Sea
Man has always been fascinated with the sea. The Ohio IP attorneys at Dawsey Co LPA have added new content to the Weird and Wacky Patents section of the Interesting Patents page that illustrate some of the efforts humankind has made to explore this frontier. First, a patent from 1922 discloses a rather cumbersome looking Diving Suit intended to be used in shallow water. Next, one of the most famous seafaring explorers, Jacques Cousteau, was also an inventor. Among his inventions was this Diving Apparatus patent. Finally, the bullet shape and fish-like fins of this 1956 patent titled Swimming and Diving Device allow you to explore the depths in streamlined style.
