I have just copyrighted an idea for invention convention ( like a science fair where you have to invent a product). My idea is an automatic zipper. I have all the technology worked out and I just need to know if anyone would actually buy it and what price would be a good idea.

If the technology is down and you have it patented, It would be interesting to see. But it's already pretty easy to zip stuff up. It might look cool and could sell for novelty purposes, or the technology might have other unseen purposes.

honestly i would never buy something like that. First of all, it takes a second to zip stuff up yourself and what would happen if you washed it... wouldn't it be ruined

This would be a useful for people in wheelchairs for when they have to zip up a boot or something.
It seems like a good idea.
Good luck with your invention, would be cool to see in stores soon.

Unable to bend down?
Now, zipups are in town,
Just pushing, it goes up or down,
No stuck zippers anymore,
Buy your zip up in stores.


Hope that can help you.

thank you for your help and support. by the way, the design is waterproof, so the mechanism can't get wet

Would you be able to show us what they actually looked like?
I want to see if it looks like a rather decent invention, rather than just a heap of mechanism thrown about.

all the mechanism is hidden, so it's just an ordinary zipper with an inch of padding

well i wouldn't really have much use for it, but it can really sell with the elderly, back troubled, and lazy. If you can get it on cool sneakers you might be able to sell to teens too.

Hm, I expected it would be larger than an inch of padding. Seems like a good idea. I would probably spend... $2.99?

That's a lot of padding not to mention what powers it? Having to replace batteries doesn't sound like fun. Seems like a re-hash of the automatic shoe tieing sneaker thing. But a lot less useful unless your aiming at a really small niche market.

I will buy it for $2 because what would happen if it was junk and you pay lots of $$

it will work perfectly, i can assure you. I just want to know the public's opinion about this. also, thanks for the songs and slogans. also, this probably won't go on sale unless there is a company who is actually going to buy this idea. We're pretty much stuck with this idea because we spent too much time telling ghost stories and talking about anime in science classes
