My bike accessory

I’m asking some questions in here as i think I’ll receive a better response...
I’ve come up with an idea for a bike accessory. After a fair bit of research after the idea came to me, it looks as if they’re only two competitors, each with a very specific approach.

If anyone on this board knows a thing or two about small plastic components made to a specific design, please get in touch. I need some pointers on my design, what’s possible and what isn’t. Alternatively If you know somewhere I can ask, let me know.
I am qualified as a 3D CAD technician now so i can draw up anything i need to myself.
KTHXBI! Thumbs Up

I know nothing about plastics etc but I would be happy to test a prototype Thumbs Up

So long as it isn't another chindildo thing, that I will not try.

If by any chance it is another version of the scottoiler crampbuster, I will show you how to make my "beautiful interpretation" using a hose clip, toothbrush handle, a blow torch and some araldite Mr. Green

I'll happily help scrape Donny off the road if it all goes wrong. I'm a trained first aider so might be of some use. Laughing

Teflon-Mike:I think I agree with just about all Pinky has said.

It’s a very simple design, collectable and personalised if you’d like. No risks involved in testing! Laughing

You’d find it on the counter at the bike shop, a very handy thing to have too.
I think I’ll start out with an Ebay shop, if it goes ok then maybe I can expand on it.

If you make it too vague, you won't get it passed.

You say you have found two competitors that have taken a specific approach to the problem, this means you will have to take a specifically and significantly different approach, otherwise your patent could encroach on the other products.

To give yourself a quick bit of copyright, write down your idea, being as detailed as you can about it's design, construction and what your're trying to achieve, including diagrams, where possible; put the whole lot into a well sealed envelope and post it to yourself, keeping it sealed when you receive it.

It doesn't give you much protection, but the postmark may help you to prove you thought of it first, should an argument ensue at some future point.
