11 Most Interesting Gadgets from Inpex 2017

This year, I had the pleasure of judging Invent Help’s Inpex 2017 Conference, full of up and coming inventors, innovators and entrepreneurs. It was a packed few days with lots of exciting insight into new trends in various consumer, retail and business markets. Below are some highlights of the unbelievable number of new products presented at the show.

Sakury

Sakury works on the theory that the loss of silica, a key mineral that binds water in your skin, can be added back into your skin, reversing any present signs of aging, and preventing further damage. Once a week, after washing your face and while your skin is still moist, simply rub the pad in circular motions all over your face and neck for 60 seconds. Perfect for any skin type or condition and naturally anti-bacterial, this could be the end of creams, mists, peels and acids meant to reverse the signs of dry skin and aging.

Leverpresso

This mini lever espresso maker is perfect for your gourmet on the go caffeine needs. Leverpresso offers function and stylish form to the travel espresso maker market with a range of retro colors. If you can’t look good while sipping your espresso, what’s the point?

Sandits

According to the company’s website, Sandits are the “newest, easiest and most convenient way to sand, polish, smooth and remove rust, paint, tarnish or corrosion”. These tiny but mighty little tools resemble a cotton swab so that they can reach small and difficult spaces with their marine-grade epoxy secured grits. Great for wet or dry applications and can be used on a variety of materials including wood, metal or plastic. They can even be used for manicure maintenance in a pinch!

Kenda

An ingenious innovation from an international exhibitor for the common bicycle tire that distributes weight without using spokes and is more shock absorbent. Think of the time you could shave off your weekly rides with these!

Hyndsight

Invented by a collegiate crew (rowing) athlete to provide forward looking video while riding backward through a combination of camera and connected monitor. HyndSight is now being used for waterskiing and even for equestrians to monitor their horses during transport and has the potential for application in many outdoor sports.

SunBlok

The SunBlock is a new twist on sun block application with a handle that allows you to reach those hard to get areas. Perfect for solo days in the sun.

GCSports

This is the perfect stadium chair that allows fans to store their personal items off the ground while providing comfort during any sporting event. The storage bag is connected to the bottom of the seat and hangs behind the users legs for easy, yet out of the way access to personal items.

The Delivery Safe

This lockable device protects valuable items shipped to homes or businesses that may be temporarily unattended. Especially good during the holidays when theft is at its height, the mail carrier simply places items in the bag and closes the lock. Run errands, sleep in and never worry about theft from your doorstep again.

A Better Button

This button is more than an extender, it provides a way to fasten pants for people with arthritis. The front holds the appearance of a button, but on the back, it is a simple key slide fastener.

PanWaffle

No more deciding between our two favorite breakfast cakes, the Panwaffle is an all-in-one item that gives you the best of both worlds in no time flat! 

The SUB

The Sound Utility Block promises to “make your kitchen hip again” by combining the likes of a knife block, speaker and iPad holster into your daily cooking routine. Use one device to play music, stream TV and movies or listen to music while you chop, sauté and pan fry away.
