INVENTION: The Pressix™ Trashcan
INVENTOR: FRANKLIN RAMSEY
Franklin Ramsey of Charlotte, N.C., considers himself to be an idea man. Franklin will tell you that he comes by it honestly, since years of raising a family constantly put him in the position to brainstorm easier ways of carrying out the menial, time-consuming tasks of life.
Franklin developed the idea for his invention, now known as the Pressix trashcan, while helping his wife, Ann, with her fledgling commercial janitorial business.
Whenever Franklin tried to empty wastebaskets, he could never seem to secure new trash bags properly. Franklin’s knotted bags were all either too loose, too tight or tore in the end!
 Frustrated, Franklin proceeded to his garage workshop and devised a trash can that holds bags securely in place without slipping or ripping at all.
Shortly thereafter, he heard about the Charlotte Everyday Edisons casting call and decided to attend to get some expert advice.
Little did he know that he would wow the judges with his straightforward yet savvy trashcan invention. |
