Patent Nr. 4: Kissing Shield
USA Patent 5787895
"The present invention proposes a method and device in which a flexible membrane is used as a kissing shield to lessen one's chances of becoming infected by disease from casual contact." Yeah, and it's very romantic too. These must be hot items on the bar scene. Seriously though, Frank McKeil (RPA) informed us that he had a chance to talk with the inventor of this patent and she mentioned that there actually is a very practical use: Burn vicitms that are susceptible to infection use them to allows safer kisses from loved-ones!
