Pittsburgh – October 07, 2026 -- An InventHelp client has filed a patent application for the Hammersmith Rifle, Model SG 25, an ambidextrous service rifle platform designed to be reconfigured by individual operators for fit and field conditions, and is now seeking manufacturers or marketers for licensing.

Design targets user-specific fit and recoil management

The Model SG 25 features an adjustable side-folding stock and a pistol grip that can be set to the shooter's preferred length of pull and hand size. An adjustable gas and operating system lets operators tune the weapon to their recoil tolerance and to varying environmental conditions.

Pittsburgh – October 06, 2026 -- An inventor from Gipsy, Pennsylvania, has developed the TRI GUARD SNOW DEFENDER, a new snow retention system designed for metal roof installations, and submitted the design to InventHelp for licensing or sale.

Inventor targets drainage and debris buildup on metal roofs

The inventor, who works in the metal roofing industry, designed a smart rib structure intended to improve water drainage while preventing leaves, twigs, and other debris from accumulating on roof surfaces. The system is built for both residential and commercial metal roof applications.

Design addresses installation errors linked to roof leaks

Beyond debris management, the invention is engineered to reduce positioning errors during installation, a common cause of roof leaks in snow retention hardware. A clay prototype of the TRI GUARD SNOW DEFENDER has been completed.

Pittsburgh – – October 05, 2026 -- An inventor from Statesville, N.C., has developed the TIP HOOK, a device designed to let forklifts safely lift and suspend heavy objects for temporary storage or relocation within warehouses and construction sites.

Device enables forklift-based suspension in low-headroom spaces

The TIP HOOK attaches to the dual spaced forks of a forklift, allowing operators to hang heavy items even where ceiling clearance is limited. The inventor said the goal was to create "a very safe and reliable means of lifting and suspending heavy objects via a forklift," targeting facilities where floor space is constrained.

Pittsburgh – – October 05, 2026 -- InventHelp has put a patent-pending swimming pool toy called AQUA HUNTER up for licensing or sale to manufacturers and marketers, the Pittsburgh-based invention submission firm announced.

Alabama inventor designs target game to simulate spearfishing in pools and ponds

The concept, submitted by an inventor from Vincent, Ala., through InventHelp's Birmingham sales office, lets children simulate spearfishing in a backyard pool or pond. The company describes the design as safe for both users and pool surfaces.

Product targets alternative-play segment of the pool and water-toy market

InventHelp positions AQUA HUNTER as an alternative to conventional pool activities and water toys, aimed at increasing entertainment value and potentially building interest in recreational spearfishing among younger users.

Pittsburgh – – October 05, 2026 -- A commercial truck driver from Hilliard, Fla., has filed a patent application for a new vehicle signaling device designed to alert other motorists during 180-degree turns, and the design is now available for licensing through InventHelp.

Device targets a gap in standard turn-signal systems

The invention, called the U-TURN SIGNAL, provides a distinct visual indicator separate from conventional left and right turn signals, intended to reduce driver confusion and prevent collisions during U-turn maneuvers. The inventor developed the concept after identifying recurring signaling ambiguity encountered while operating commercial vehicles.

Pittsburgh – September 29, 2026 -- A California-based inventor has developed INTRACE, a security control plane designed to verify identity and generate tamper-evident records for every digital interaction rather than only at login. InventHelp, the Pittsburgh-based invention-services firm, announced the technology is now available for licensing or sale to manufacturers and marketers.

INTRACE targets unverified requests across AI, payments, and connected devices

Billions of digital requests occur every second across apps, payment systems, and AI-driven interactions, with most trusted automatically, according to the inventor. INTRACE is built to authenticate the origin of each request and flag unauthorized or disputed activity as it happens, rather than relying solely on perimeter checks.

Pittsburgh – September 28, 2026 -- An InventHelp client from Mound, Minnesota has developed SHANTY CHEF, a portable cooking accessory concept designed to expand the functionality of existing heat sources used in outdoor and emergency settings.

Inventor targets single-purpose heating equipment gap in outdoor markets

The inventor said the goal was to let consumers get more value from equipment they already own, adding convenience when a heat source is needed for both warmth and cooking. The concept is aimed at outdoor recreation, ice fishing, camping and emergency-preparedness users, where portable heaters typically serve only one function.

Design aims to support safer food preparation in cold-weather conditions

SHANTY CHEF is positioned as an accessory that would attach to or work alongside portable heating equipment, enabling more stable food preparation in cold environments without requiring a separate cooking appliance.

Pittsburgh – September 20, 2026 -- An inventor from Dallastown, Pennsylvania has developed a patent-pending protective device for commercial box trucks aimed at reducing costly damage from overhead hazards, InventHelp announced.

Device targets low-clearance obstacles that cause frequent box truck damage

THE 717 RACK is designed to attach to commercial box trucks to minimize exposure to low-hanging obstacles encountered during everyday routes and deliveries. "I wanted to create something that would help reduce the risk of damage caused by everyday driving conditions," the inventor said. "My idea would provide a proactive way to help safeguard vehicles while improving efficiency and peace of mind for drivers and fleet operators."

Pittsburgh – September 20, 2026 -- InventHelp has submitted a new invention, the "Hellcat Supercharger to Coyote Adapters," designed to solve compatibility problems between supercharger systems and Coyote engines used in automotive performance builds. The concept, developed by an inventor from Wichita, Kan., is now available for licensing or sale to manufacturers and marketers.

Adapter targets mismatched supercharger and engine components

The invention allows a Hellcat supercharger to be paired with a Coyote engine platform, two systems not originally engineered to work together. According to InventHelp, the adapter improves component compatibility, reduces the need for complex custom modifications, and increases performance potential through more flexible system configurations.

Pittsburgh – September 20, 2026 -- A Canadian inventor from Chateauguay, QC, has filed a patent-pending design for the SPY SEAT, a seating attachment that lets anglers sit or lean while fishing from a paddleboard instead of standing.

Design eliminates the need to stand while paddleboard fishing

The SPY SEAT attaches to a paddleboard to give users a stable, comfortable seating position, freeing both hands for casting and reeling. The inventor said the goal was to add stability and support that standard paddleboards lack during fishing use.

Inventor submits design through InventHelp's Toronto office

The concept was developed and submitted through InventHelp's Toronto sales office. A working prototype and technical drawings have been produced and are available for review by interested parties.
