The most useless inventions: list, description and interesting facts

Only a miracle can be given, looking at useless inventions, invented by people, which, perhaps, can be considered in some way geniuses. After all, after looking at some things, you might think: yes this is a masterpiece! Only useless ... However, it is better to move to clear examples.

"Help" in eating

The plate-ring is a funny, and not even quite useless invention. It was created for regulars of all sorts of events of a secular nature and buffets. It's a tiny dish on the ring that you need to put on your finger, and use it. Do not put a lot of snacks on the plates at once. You can just choose one meal and put it on a mini-plate. In the same hand, really hold a glass with a drink. And the second hand, thus, will be free.

Speaking about useless inventions, you can not fail to mention the fork for pizza. Its creator, apparently, does not like to eat it with her hands. So he came up with a fork, in the middle of which a small knife (round, rotating) is attached to cut the pizza into pieces and immediately pierce it.

But this is far from the most useless invention. For their creation, at least prerequisites have been invented, which can be understood. But in this world there is still a fork-alarm clock! On it you need to prick a piece, eat it, and wait. The second time you can send food to your mouth when the alarm goes off. This invention is already 22 years old, and a patent was obtained for its creation.

Oddities for health

Continuing to list useless inventions, it is worth mentioning and a heating pad for the prostate. Describe its form is not worth it, you can only look at the photo provided above. This device was first demonstrated to the public more than 100 years ago - in 1914.

The chin rest is also a strange thing. It is a long device that resembles a tripod. Only at the end is a prop, like crutches. Not for the armpit, but for the chin. This invention is intended for people who like to doze always and everywhere. This is the "helper" for a comfortable standing up.

Another thing to tell about funnels for eye drops. Not everyone can get there right away. A lot of medicine is wasted. But with such a device you can not transfer the medication. It looks, by the way, like round glasses with tiny holes in the middle, to which are attached funnels with wide "mouths", where you can easily get a drop.

Useless, but popular

There are things that are of little use, but they are in demand because of their originality and unusual. This includes an ostrich pillow. It's like a hat (only with slits for breathing) put on your head to sleep anywhere. Form it resembles the head of an ostrich, and from there the name.

The cover for the seats is also included in the top of the most useless invention. But they are popular. The product is actively bought by fastidious people, who are seriously concerned about the sanitary conditions of buses, planes and public seats. If they do not make it difficult to carry a blanket with them, then why not use it?

The so-called Snazzy Napper looks less strangely. This is a portable blanket, attached to a mask for sleeping. With a small cutout for the nose, of course. Many people consider such a blanket a convenient thing - you can fix it on your head, and do not be afraid that it will slip.

And it is worth noting the case for a ... banana. It's amazing how many people are worried about the fact that their fruit can be wrinkled in a bag or in a bag.

Too "functional" things

Talking about the most useless invention, I would like to mention such devices that have become completely impractical due to the fanatical desire of their creators to give them as much functionality as possible.

Take, for example, a giant Swiss knife, presented above in the photo. What in this huge design just does not exist! Functional totals 87 different tools. That's only this invention is terribly inconvenient to use and not portable. And PR managers also missed advertising, letting masses of photos on which the "knife" stands next to a high boot that is comparable to it in size. And the price also exceeds $ 1,400.

Still in the rating under the name "The most useless inventions of the 21st century" there is definitely a suitcase that transforms into a scooter. Maybe the idea seemed fun. That's just filled suitcase does not differ in aerodynamics and good controllability. Far away on it you will not leave.

JakPak is also included in the TOP of useless inventions. It is a jacket that is put into a tent. Conveniently? Not really. The jacket looks very cumbersome, and weighs twice as much as an ordinary 2-person tent.

It is impossible not to mention the sandal-metal detectors. They cost 60 dollars. And the radius for such a price for detectors is too small. In addition, the person who decided to wear them will look as if he escaped from house arrest.

Wardrobe items

If we talk about the most useless inventions of mankind, then we can mention a glove for two. It was invented by Terry King. This little thing gives lovers the opportunity to walk in the cold season, holding hands, and while not freezing. That's just have to constantly jerk, if you need a second hand. And I'll have to take a pair of normal gloves with me - after all, I must go home somehow in the cold.

Still there are pantyhose with four stockings. What are they for? For emergency situations! If the couple, put on their feet, tore, then you can take it off, twist it, and ram it into a special pocket near the waist, from where the whole pantyhose for the change will be hacked.

But with jeans for a picnic, nothing compares. They are breeches, some of which are made from the inside of the thigh from a stretchy, dense fabric. To sit comfortably it was in any pose - after all, the usual denim material hinders the movement. But the main point is not this! If you sit down in a standard yoga posture, the fabric will stretch and form an elastic surface on which you can put a plate with a shish kebab, for example.

Unusual accessories

Talking about the most useless invention, we can not fail to mention the umbrella for the whole body. People who are afraid of getting wet, they use it. This is an ordinary umbrella, only around the perimeter it is surrounded by a dense transparent "curtain" reaching to the ground. A man, unwinding it, it seems like under the dome.

Another strange invention can be considered a rotating ice cream cone. This device looks like a mechanical cone, inside which is integrated a small motor. When it works, the ice cream ball rotates. Perhaps this is the ideal "helper" for people who are too lazy to twist the horn in their hands to bite it from all sides.

But if that leads the list under the title "The most useless invention of mankind", so this is a box for $ 30. Absolutely ordinary and empty. Which even its creators called useless. What is its essence? In the presence of a switch. After pressing it, the lid of the box rises, and then falls. That's all.

What is not logic

However, in most of the above inventions it is absent. But in some things there is not even a prerequisite for logic.

These include a bra with a timer, counting down to the time of marriage, and a bristle for cleaning teeth, attached to the finger. Square watermelons in their time, too many were surprised. And a pillow with a speaker. The hair holder can also be assigned to this list. Why buy such a huge and cheap thing, as in the photo below, if you can just a simple rubber band?

Greetings from the past

Useless inventions of mankind, created dozens of years ago, are of special interest. Sometimes it is surprising to know what ideas came to the head of our ancestors.

Take, for example, a device for a pair walk. Or a group shower. Pedal rollers are also a dubious means of transportation. Like those that are equipped with an electric motor.

Strange looks like a radio hat, a photovolver, a mouthpiece for smoking in the rain and snow, glasses with blinds and a single-wheeled motorcycle. But the cherry on the cake of the useless inventions of the past is a vibro-finger, designed for gum massage.

Other inventions

Not all the strange and illogical things ever created have been listed above.

There is dietary water, a DVD ventilator, shoes for walking barefoot, a machine for making snowballs, a fan of noodle coolers, umbrellas for shoes, and even a device designed for automatic simultaneous pressing of the Control Alt Delete combination.

It can also surprise the tie, which is opened by an easy movement of the hand into the umbrella. And a microphone with a silencer (for those who are embarrassed by their singing). Unusually looks and a grater with heating for hot oil, similar to a meat grinder. By the way, this device is very popular.

This list can be continued indefinitely. And certainly you can say that over time it will only be replenished.
