For example what is the cheapest most efficient design for a unidirectional gear that does not wear out?
I find it hard to imagine that someone has to reinvent the lock if they have a slightly different idea on how a doorknob functions. Now I know it is easy to find out how a lock is made, but what about other functions?
I know I don't HAVE to come up with all the small details for each design...just like I don't have to program the software myself if I want a computer function on an electronic device. But in this case, it is kind of important because the mechanism MAYBE new and I don't know where to check if it already exists. My help you invent company says not to worry about it yet till I get the general concept recorded at the PTO. But I want to know now, because the engineers(from helpyouinvent) who will look at my design will be far a way and will not be able to consult with me face to face.
Ps. The uni-directional gear was just an example, not real.
