You'll usually see these as being design patents. I remember looking up a
patent number on my garden hose sprayer once, it was a patent on the design
itself or some such.

And you get about the same results, there are some really silly patents
out there. Some as simple as 2 C instructions.
Funny thing is how you see patent numbers and patent pending on a lot of
simple one-piece plastic items. I look those new ice cube trays and
laundry baskets over carefully and never find anything obviously
innovative.
I'm sure that's the case with the salad spinner. He couldn't get a patent
on centrifugal force unless he put a microcomputer and software into the
product. :-)
