My Invention: The Chain-Pick!

My Invention: The Chain-Pick!

Hello, Readers!

The alpha team has been working on an invention project for a couple weeks where we all answer some questions about an invention we make to prevent a problem.  I was part of this, and I want to share with you the invention that I created.

Here are some questions about my invention that I answered.

  1. My brother is a guitar player, and I realized there were many people that were also guitar players, and some probably have the same problem: They lose their picks.  I know if I was a guitarist that I would be utterly annoyed if I lost my strumming instrument to use.  Thinking of this major problem, I began to plan how to prevent it.
  2. When I searched online, the nearest products I saw were really just plain, simple picks and key chains (car keys for specifics).
  3. I combine both of these basic products to make a car key chain with a hole-punched pick attached, known as the Chain-Pick.  Whenever someone (preferably who has an automobile) is going to some concert or just playing in a high-school band, they just pull the pick off their car keys and use it.  When the band/concert is done and they are leaving, they just stick the pick back onto their car keys.  It’s a simple, but useful way to keep your picks in place!
  4. At the top of the pick, there will be a small hole punched in.  Then, you just stick that and any more additional picks onto your car keys, and there they will be safe.  Any time you need a guitar and a pick for a concert or band, you just grab your guitar.  When you get there and take out your car keys, you just pull off your preferred pick and head on in to your event.  You’ll have everything you need, and you won’t lose your picks by, example, putting them in your cup holder.  If you slam on the brakes on the way?  Say hello to The Chain-Pick!

My invention is called The Chain-Pick, and it prevents guitarists from losing their picks by having it attached to their automobile keys, with a hole in the picks that allows it to pull on and off.

I hope you like my invention, and also, here’s a sketch of my drawing that I submitted for the contest:
