Q
1) How do you design or do you measurements? What software?
2) How did you manage to get the manufacturers to prototype properly for free?
3) Did you get the manufacturers to sign NDA?
4) Do sure us your final product once you have patented it.
A
1) I used Illustrator CS4 for my drawings and play around with cardboard and a ruler to get the size right, but I think I was lucky cos it worked almost straight away.
2) I email the manufacturers with my drawings and what I wanted plus you always ask for a sample.
3) Not yet. But they don’t know what it is, There are ways to do this if you do your research and just tell them what you want to tell them
4)I will, There is something similar out there to mine but mine gives the rider more options :D
