A gallery of obscure patents.
Bird diapers, a motorized ice cream cone and an apparatus for simulating a "high five" are among the treasures unearthed by delphion's gallery of incredible but real US patents.
See also their gallery of historic patents, featuring, among others, the patent for the hypodermic syringe (1843).

I'm taking out a patent on a nitrogen-oxygen gas mix for enhancing athletic performance and sexual enjoyment right now.

Could someone describe this patent to me. I found it on a conspiracy-related site proclaiming that it was a patent for AIDS (which was gov't created *wink wink*). It was filed in 1987, but I figured someone wanted to make a few bucks on other people's misery.

This patent has made it to reality. The company that made it has a website with its current project.

I can think of occasions when mandatory bird diapers would prevented my inconvenience.
