Patents are not all that serious business. Prometheus will bring out a series of articles on freaky patents for our blog readers.

Who wouldn’t want to look slim the easy way? Use of optical illusions in garments for visual appearance modification or to highlight body parts is the essence of the patent US7107621 titled “Optical illusion wear”.
How about wearing contact lenses with hearts and smileys for special occasions!!! Check this patent numbered US5963298 and titled “Contact lens with unnatural graphic designs”.

The patent GB2221607 titled “Gloves and mittens” is ideal for couples honeymooning in Alaska. It discloses a conjoined pair of gloves for couples to hold hands even in unforgiving cold weather conditions. And this patent seriously gave me some ideas!!! How about a conjoined sweater with four hands or a conjoined monkey cap???
