Patent infringement? Maybe if he sold a boat load but who is going to squeal?

In the early eighty's I given carbon fiber infused nycon parts to use on my speedskates; they worked quite well and never failed. |

Man, you guys have to stop messing with the time / space continuum, or whatever that is.
This is America by gosh! And as said in Animal House, Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor......... And being a wonderful country, we are allowed to buy crappy foreign made parts that break, so that we can buy more of the same crappy part, and everybody makes money along the way........................ Yes, I would happily pay double for a part that might actually last, and that was really "Made in America"! It is just near-impossible to find such things. Marty |

Interesting points, all.
Seems like some of the other designs have more features to guide the shade in and lock it in place...tough to say how significantly different a design is from another. Intellectual property stuff is messy, especially with the accessibility of consumer 3D printing. Not planning on selling, but looking forward to easily replacing these if they break. The point for me is that it was fun to flex the 3D drawing skills and make something practical. I've got enough desktop doo-dads haha. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry

Great job and there is nothing negative about your creation. I recently bought the junk one from China on EBay and wish I had your talent and resources. Thanks for sharing.
