OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums The History Forum The Old Soap Box Response / BOSCLIP Company

G'day Jack,

"The thing is, the only patent I have found of the Bosclip dates to January,
1979. Joe Boseley is not stated as the inventor, but he was the patent
applicant for an addition to a patent."

Thanks for the Bosclip History Jack ,great work , I found a few Patents that may be of interest.

Cheers
Max.

Hi Max
Many thanks for the great research Max!!!
All of these will be useful for the record.

I still have a way to go with the Bosclip article.
They made another electric lawnmower ... and more pillows ...

Cheers

My issue with this company is I really can't recall it, they must have only had small advertising program, I sort of recall the name but nothing sticks out, maybe I'm confusing it with Bostik adhesives from the same era

G'day Norm
I would say that Bosclip was a poor-man's Breville.

Breville is a true success story.
Bosclip was much more 'niche market' and probably lacked capital
to do better in the public's mind. I have described them as a survivor...

I remember the Bosclip edger and trimmer, and I remember the
Bosclip Boomerang pillow. I guess the pillow stuck in my mind
because it was - well - silly looking.

I don't think the Boomerang inspired stealth aircraft technology though ...

My interest in Bosclip is really about remembering the forgotten.
I think I did a fair job there.

... and Max continues to keep me honest.

Cheers

Thanks Jack.
