Kaj: Sorry, but your idea isn't patentable. It's the prior art thing. After all, the US Patent Office operates in head-up-butt mode every day. A few years ago, a guy got a patent in his child's name that covered swinging on a child's swing from side to side rather than the conventional front to back motion. I contemplated filing one for swinging cattywampus on behalf of my grandson, but decided that I shouldn't feed the madness. Well, that and it costs more than two bucks to file a patent. -- cmg
