They say that necessity - the mother of all invention. Of course, this statement is not to like each occasion of the birth of engineering genius, but still has its own truth in this. At least those amazing and sometimes funny inventions which you will see below, were quite practical.
The most curious thing is that most of these inventions are a simple combination of things that we use in everyday life, and that we never occurred to me to combine:
Ironing board + mirror
Bench that can turn dry side after rain
Traffic light in the form of an hourglass ("sand" appropriate color shows how much time is left)
Universal wrapping paper. Only need to circle the felt pen the words "With Love", "Happy Birthday" or "Happy New Year" and ready
Umbrella + cup holder
Device for squeezing toothpaste to the last drop
Baby seat + Scooter
"Blades" for the bathroom mirror
Tool for measuring portions of pasta
Electrical Outlet "Lego", unfolding in any direction
Citrus spray
Chest of drawers, in which everything is always in its place
Table, dressing on the arm of the chair or sofa
Pasta fork
Holder for cutting onions
