The story of two Fidget

Curiously, the cube and Fidget Cube, and vaguely reminiscent of children's top Fidget Spinner invented American inventors. However, due to the difference in a couple of decades of their fate has developed quite differently.

toy Fidget Spinner He developed a resident of Florida, Catherine Hettinger. Woman suffering from myasthenia gravis - autoimmune disease that weakens the muscles. Because of this, she could not play with his little daughter Sarah. Spinner was born in the early 1990s, when Hettinger began to seek a way out of their difficult situation. The resulting gadget was light enough and easy to deal with him and the child could, and his exhausted mother.

Over the next few years Hettinger sell improved versions of its spinner at fairs in Florida, and even issued a patent in 1997. To develop noticed manufacturer Hasbro toys, but further tests did not get. In 2005, the inventor did not have $ 400 to pay a fee for the renewal of a patent on what the story might have ended the spinner.

However, in just a decade, toy rose from obscurity. Both children and even adults have begun to turn the spinners, mass produced in China (including Hasbro and order). Hettinger also had to move from a small home in a tiny apartment. 62-year-old woman continues to work as an engineer, hoping to save up for a car. She is glad that her development finally received international recognition, and thus clearly understands that lost patent cost her a fortune.

block Fidget Cube He came into the world through good 20 years after the spinner. Invented brothers Matthew and Mark MacLachlan. In 2016 they launched kraudfandingovuyu campaign on Kickstarter, to finance the production of toys. Finally, it was collected 6.5 million dollars - an absolute record for the platform.

The absence of a patent on the cube and free online trading benefited from Chinese manufacturers. Even before he started delivery Fidget Cube, on trading floors Alibaba and Amazon were copies.

Meanwhile, the reputation of the inventors struck delay orders of the original toys. Company Antsy Labs brothers even got a low rating from the Better Business Bureau practice of Baker complaints. In Russia, the original Fidget Cube has not yet appeared, so the market there are two versions: high-quality and low-quality replica, which sink down buttons and the stick.

Once Hettinger not enough crowdfunding and modern digital commerce. If MacLachlan repeat its way, they will have only themselves to blame.

Spinner advertised as a tool to help remove tension and concentrate. If the first toy to cope with a bang, then the second paragraph do not agree to teachers and doctors. In a number of British and American schools gadget and does fell under the ban, since its use is distracting all students.

As noted by Sarah Allen Levine, assistant professor of psychology of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, spinner concentrates, but only for himself. And that it is logical, if it was originally just a toy.
