ReadyPour

The idea behind ReadyPour was simple: get rid of the need to use the measuring cap! Doing all my loads of laundry thru college drove me crazy b/c the cap always had excess detergent, and then you had to put it back onto the container (albeit wiping it with your clothes going into the washer was a good workaround...). Soap would drip onto clothes, the machines, back onto the container...I figured there may be a simple design that could solve the problem. Anyway, with the container designs below, the (measuring)cap was no longer needed b/c the handle itself served the purpose. Then you could drop the amount you wanted into the washer directly from the container.

Here's one of the many designs, in color: Thank you to Maya Tanaka for helping me with some CAD designs. Got a mini print done, and uhhh, it didn't serve much purpose.

I was in talks with a patent attorney and wrote the below description up. I (think I) also submitted the idea to one or two "As Seen On TV"-like portals but never heard back. I can't remember which they were but Proctor & Gamble are coming to mind. Actually inventing an official "As Seen On TV" product has always been one of my dreams.
