Invention to help open windows
The slide type windows in my RV were sort of a "pain" to open. I found the surface area small enough to cause minor pain in my fingers when lifting them on the conventional latch/lift. Sometimes the window would slip and crash closed.
I made tabs that snap over the existing tabs that make opening and closing the slide windows easier and "safer".
Take a look and let me know what you think.
I have several I will send out to you if you would like to try them, they are free, I only would ask for whatever actual shipping is.
Thanks

Very cool invention. You could patent those and make a bazillion bucks.

Great idea. Don't waste your money on a patent. Get a 3D printer and sell them on Etsy.
Patents are expensive and take years before they're issued. Window latch design will change before your patent has been issued.

These look great! I have a slide side window that bites me EVERY TRIP! Then, I have a bathroom window that was installed on a Monday, after a rough weekend of drinking. It's installed crooked on the rear of my camper. It's also, a bear to open and close, because I have to try and open it on the skew of the window's orientation.
I'd gladly try these and pay for shipping. I'm in CT. please message me.
I agree with another poster, 3D print these and sell on eBay.

My neighbor fixed mine with a pair of reverse pliers. He does welding for a hobby and opened that slot just a touch.

I have some. But they don't fit my window locks.  MY winder levers aren't the same as in the videos.
Send me your address and I'll mail you some.
There are LEFT & RIGHT orientations. If you have a window with only one lock, you have to identify if it is LEFT or RIGHT lock. Compare to another window that has 2 and you can figure it out.
PM me and let me know how many/what orientation you need and your address. I'll mail them out to you.
