The latest issue of Sky Mall once again features two familiar products we developed for our clients, the Dog Wash and the Cool Cot House. Congratulations again to our clients and all who worked on their products!

In addition, two more Aviva products for which we designed the packaging, the Rocket Toss Dart Game and the Tot Totter, have hit SkyMall’s fall online catalog. That’s two more to add to our ever-growing list in the stores… the hits just keep on coming!

The innovative RV Leveler we developed for a corporation to provide an efficient way to accurately level a recreational vehicle was featured in the RV Daily Report, a premier online source of RV news. The article was posted on the website’s homepage, as well as sent out in its Newsletter.

The RV Daily Report is an independent source of all the news impacting the RV industry — for people employed in the industry as well as those who enjoy using RVs. The RV Leveler article also was featured under Breaking RV News at RV Trader.com!

In addition, the RV Leveler is the featured new product in the October 2009 issue of RV News, “the voice of the RV industry since 1975!” Check it out on the RV News New Products page!

Our client, Jean, visited us so we could celebrate her success. At a delicious dinner held in Inventionland of spaghetti and meatballs (prepared in the Meatball Baker), she was presented with a gleaming covered tray that concealed a large royalty check. Jean responded with shock, amazement and tears of joy.

Jean and her husband, Donald, said they may use the money to move to a warmer climate when he retires, so they can enjoy their love of golf and get away from the bitter northern Minnesota winters. The couple was blown away by Inventionland. “I love this place, this is awesome; it’s like a dreamland,” said Jean. “You can’t even put it into words, it’s so cool.”

Product update: The Meatball Baker was featured two more times on QVC; apparently they know a hit when they see one! The product was presented during the popular segment “In the Kitchen with David.” The Meatball Baker also earned a Customer Top Rating on QVC.com. Most of the customers who rated the product gave it 5 out of 5 stars! To quote just a few: “Wow! Whatta Pan!” “WONDERFUL PAN!” and “I would LOVE to MEET the person who invented this marvelous pan. Talk about GENIOUS!!”

The product is also selling on Amazon.com, Taylor Gifts, SkyMall, and many other stores!

A typical project does not get a royalty agreement, sell in stores or generate a profit.

The Perfect Serve, Davison’s new combination pizza cutter and spatula, is now for sale in Taylor Gifts, a popular online retailer. The innovative kitchen gadget makes it easier to neatly slice and serve a pizza without having to cut through repeatedly, or use your fingers to help dish it up.

We developed the Perfect Serve pizza cutter and with a non-slip rubber handle, so users can secure a tight grip as the stainless steel wheel slices through pizza crust and all of the toppings. The cutting wheel is located at the front of the spatula to avoid rubbing knuckles across hot pizza, and the contoured edge conforms to the crust of the pizza for serving it to friends and family. Not only great for pizza, it can also be used for dishing up dessert after dinner! 

This corporate product was invented and licensed by Davison for its own benefit.

A Davison-designed client product, the Pizza Keeper, will air early next year on the nation’s most popular home shopping network. The innovative container stores leftover pizza compactly in the refrigerator.

The first manufacturer that saw the Pizza Keeper licensed it immediately. The president of the company loved the product and said he thinks it will do well because it solves a problem that everyone has experienced.

The client has not made a profit on this product.

The newest innovations in the sewing/crafting world have just hit the store shelves, and they all have a blue “D” on the package. Four Davison products/packages, including a client project that we developed for a corporation are now in Jo-Ann stores, a leading specialty retailer of crafting and sewing products.

The Better Bobbin, invented by our client, Thomas, provides an innovative and time-saving way to wind bobbins of all sizes without having to unthread a sewing machine – Congratulations, Thomas! The Quick Cut electric scissors provides a more convenient and precise cutting tool. The Travel Folding Stitcher’s Tools combines tape measure, scissors, needle threader, seam ripper, stiletto, and a removable magnifying glass in one. We also created interactive packaging for the Petite Press mini iron.

A typical project does not get a royalty agreement, sell in stores or generate a profit. The client has not made a profit on this product.

In addition to all the many and varied consumer products we design, Davison also develops highly technical products for medical, government, and other industries. A sampling of these products is included on our website to show our capabilities extend far beyond consumer products, which may appeal to clients who have technical ideas that are not consumer related.

It can be quite difficult to determine what an industrial product does just by looking at it, however. So, we’ve added descriptions to all the innovative items on the six industrial product pages. Check out the latest update to Davison.com!
