Bad inventions: The upside-down chandelier hat!

I thought of a good bad invention yesterday with my nephew as we studied the vaulted ceilings in my parents’ condo. The upside-down chandelier hat!! While you are right side up, it just looks like a large fancy hat with sparkling decorations heaped on top.

BUT!!!! When you are ready for a formal dinner, simply hang a trapeze over the dining table. The hat-wearer needs to get up their and hang by their knees upside down on the trapeze, causing the hat to unfurl. The light source could be powered by a battery pack or, optionally, one side of the trapeze rope could be an electrical cable so that the hat can plug right in!

Voila – so elegant!
