Who Are You?

Hello

My name is Barry. I am married and the father of three children. Most of my career fields have been related to carpentry and construction. I have always had an interest in inventing, but have only recently acted on this interest. I have one invention with Patent Pending protection and several more that I am working on.

At What Stage of Completion is Your Invention?

I have a working prototype of my invention. This invention is not in production or on store shelves at this time. The prototype that I handcrafted is made from aluminum sheets. I used pop rivets to put it together. Two strips of good duck tape was attached to the back to represent two magnets. After testing it proved to be 100% effective.

Lessons Learned

  • If you are a beginning inventor, try and get as much information as possible from other inventors. Learn as much as you can about the USPTO and their patent processes. In some cases you can do your own patent search and other applications. This will save you a lot of money.

Are You Seeking Funding or Business Partners?

I would be open to the idea of both if a proper team was in place.

Who Would Want Your Invention?

Anyone that has ever had to clean up ice particles and chunks of ice on the floor beneath a refrigerator door ice and water dispenser.

Describe Your Invention or New Idea

My invention is a plastic tray (various colors) 12" x 5.5" x 5.5". There are 2 1" magnetic stips attached to the back of this tray. To mount this tray, you simply seat the tray directly below the refrigerator door ice dispenser.

Anything Else You Would Like To Say? Contact info?

No tools are needed to use this ice catcher tray. The magnetic force holds this tray in place. It is easily removed to empty or store when not needed. If you have questions and/or are interested in this ice tray please e-mail me at barryell123@yahoo.com Any and all feedback is welcome.
