A team of six innovators lead by Dr. Sumeet Kumar, Associate Professor in Multani Mal Modi College, Patiala along with Dr. Abhishek Chauhan, Dr. Gaurav Saini, Dr. Mahapara Abbass, Dr. Shalom Akhai, and Dr. Uzma Abbas—has been officially granted a design patent (No. 447413-001) by the Patent Office of India for their clever new invention: the Dual Functional Bolt Opener cum Wiper.
So what’s the big idea? It’s simple but brilliant! They’ve taken an ordinary floor wiper and added smartly designed slots in the handle—so now it doesn’t just clean floors, it also works as a bolt opener. That means you can mop your home and tighten or loosen bolts using the same tool. One device, two jobs. No more searching for a wrench while cleaning!
This idea was officially recognized and patented on February 8, 2025, under design class 08-05. The patent protects this unique design for 10 years, and it can be extended for another 5 years under India’s design protection laws.
This 2-in-1 tool is perfect for small homes, kitchens, and anyone who loves smart, space-saving ideas. It shows how a simple twist on an everyday item can make life easier. The inventors are now looking into partnerships to bring this product to market—so you may soon find it in your local store!
This patent is not just a legal certificate—it’s a big step toward smarter homes and simpler lives.
