Western Inventor's Good ldea

Just about the time you decide that there is nothing lacking in the area of home improvement merchandise, someone comes along with something new.

The innovator this time is David S. Leib, president of New Concepts Plus Industries, Inc., Stockton, Ca. Frustrated at being unable to reuse the ceiling hooks which support his houseplants, he invented a toggle bolt retriever called Toggle Saver.

The system makes a conventional toggle bolt retrievable by screwing it into a sleeve inside a plastic cap. The bolt is then inserted into a hole drilled in the ceiling or wall and the wings fold out, forming the anchor. When it comes time for removal, the bolt is unscrewed, forcing the wings to collapse into the cap until they are the same size as the hole. After the toggle assembly has been removed, the plastic cap can be inverted and used to plug up the hole.

Leib is anticipating sales of over $3 million.

Stop Complaints Cold

When complainers complain, an employer should tell them to write a thorough analysis with potential solutions of the problem. If the complainer doesn't want to write the report, then that problem is solved. If the analysis is written, it can show that the complaint has a viable solution.
