So during a remodel project, she started developing The Power Hand Trowel and securing patenting for it. Now, with the kids aging up and patent officially in-hand, she's excited to push this product to market knowing it could have a significant positive impact for DIYers and concrete workers around the world.

The husband and wife team of Rick Kellow and Beth Kuehl invented The Original Great Plate, a combination plate and drink holder that allows someone to contain both beverage and food in a single container. As Rick and Beth tell their story:“Necessity is the mother of invention. And when you have six kids and a rec room, a solution to clutter and messes was necessary. We didn’t set out to invent The GreatPlate™, but unable to find a plate that kept our drinks from tipping, we simply had to! Our commitment to manufacturing here in the USA has helped create jobs and grow our local economy. Services such as design, engineering, manufacturing, graphic/web design, marketing, packaging, and logistics are all sourced from local Wisconsin companies. In total, we touch over 50 companies, all located in the U.S., from start to finish. GreatPlate™ has touched our families’ lives in many ways; we are excited to share our line of innovative products that help make social situations more enjoyable."The GreatPlate™ is about food, family, friends, and fun, not about spills and lost drinks. The GreatPlate™ has quickly taken off to become an American staple in homes as a plate for everyday and everywhere. We have been featured on the QVC, the Food Network, The Today Show and in many more places because people just know it truly is The GreatPlate™.Hosted on Ausha.

Wendi Short, the inventor or the "Float No More" flotation restraint device tells us the following: "This is my first patent. I've had this idea for over a decade. I have always braced myself or tightened muscles in order to stay fully seated in a hot tub. I virtually could not even use a lounger without floating away. This was a solution to my own problem. Every time I used it around others, they wanted to use mine."Float no More is a patented weighted device that prevents unwanted buoyancy while trying to relax in your hot tub. Each Float no More consists of a quick-drying belted mesh bag and 2 four-pound weights. Additional weights may be used if needed. Each bag holds up to 3 weights allowing you to adjust the weight as desired. The weights can also be used independently by placing on the user's lap, so you can share with friends when needed.Si Eckhart and Keith Frank are the inventors of the "Colorado Offset Drain Attachment" (CODA). CODA is a Shower Drain Relocator package that allows misplaced drain pipes to be used with the finish (i.e., marble, tile, etc.) that gets installed as part of internal drain pipe within the structure. It provides builders with a solution to misplaced drain pipes during the construction process, effectively allowing the builder to place the drain cover in a shower or other drainage area whereever they need to, without worrying about having to perform thousands of dollars replumbing a misplaced drain.Stacey Beeler is the creator and owner of Stitch Kentucky.

I thought there has to be a way to keep pictures level, so after some trial and error, I came up with using a water bladder in the back of the picture frame using that water weight for leveling. Water will always seek to level itself, thus making the picture frame level." Tom will be attended the ASD Market Week show with Rita because he's finally ready to begin the marketing for his product.Rita's last guest, Don Skaggs, is the President of the Inventor's Network KY, a nonprofit that helps inventors through education and support services.

ASD Market Week is the largest retail consumer b2b trade show in America. In this episode, Rita Crompton, America's Inventor Lady, discusses with her special guest, Kat Crompton, the upcoming ASD Market Week and why, if you're an inventor, this is the one show that you can't afford to miss.

Her knowledge and expertise covers all aspects of the invention process - patents and trademarks, engineering and manufacturing, crowdfunding, marketing and selling, and licensing. Ms. Crompton has helped inventors bring to market everything from full size functioning tractors to baby products - there's a reason she's called "The Inventor Lady."
