Tri-Plunger
With help from TriMech (formerly MAKO), Bob Ginther, a Household Product Inventor, walked into a big box retailer and sold his first batch of Tri-Plunger
Bob Ginther came to TriMech with the simple idea: Why don’t we make a triangle-shaped toilet plunger, since most new toilets made from the year 2000 and on are closer to that shape? Brilliant!
TriMech conducted numerous rounds of product research, sketching, industrial design, prototyping, and manufacturing until the Tri-Plunger was borne.
After TriMech designed, prototyped, and manufactured Bob Ginther’s invention, he employed a unique selling method as a first-time household product inventor. He walked into a Co-Op Home Center with a box of Tri-Plungers, hunted down the store manager, and explained that his Tri-Plunger was better than any product out there. Voila, the first was box sold!
