Twister Bolts and Twister Caps solved the problem of caps popping off the base of the toilet \u2013 a relatable problem for many consumers. Little did they know then that their product would be a huge success and would result in a royalty check every quarter for a dozen years!<\/p>\n<p>Just like with most invention ideas and products, it\u2019s not always an easy path to success. When it came to Ruth and Gary\u2019s Twister Bolts and Twister Caps, it was clear this product wasn\u2019t going to get licensed right away, taking into account that toilet bolts come in different sizes. From a retailer\u2019s perspective, they are always looking for a simple solution for customers that won\u2019t cause confusion in a store aisle or result in customers headed back to the store for returns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe problem was how do we get different threads to fit?\u201d said Mr. Davison. \u201cWe came up with a better way!\u201d By designing caps and bolts to fit two major sizes \u2013 \u00bc inch and 5\/16 inch \u2013 Ruth and Gary\u2019s Twister Bolts were fit for store shelves success.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20465\" title=\"Twister_Bolts_and_Caps\" src=\"https:\/\/www.davison.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Twister_Bolts_and_Caps.jpg\" alt=\"Twister_Bolts_and_Caps\" width=\"544\" height=\"700\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With millions of units selling around the nation in big box stores like ACE Hardware, Home Depot and various mom and pop hardware stores still to this day, it\u2019s a big win for Ruth &amp; Gary and for the team at Davison who couldn\u2019t be happier to see a client succeed. It\u2019s all about moving forward and not giving up!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese people didn\u2019t give up. They worked on the project before they got here and failed. They spent quite a bit of money and failed. They then decided to bring us in and to get back up again and try to fail their way forward with us!\u201d said Mr. Davison.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFailing your way forward is normal. Keeping yourself positive through the process is sometimes a challenge, but you can\u2019t find success if you\u2019re not willing to get back up and try and try again. From the Davison perspective, what we like about this is we believed in our clients. We believed in our ability to help them. We brought them into our community so they felt a sense of belonging as inventors and together we were able to create something that\u2019s now helping consumers with a problem in their house for over twelve years!\u201d said Mr. Davison.<\/p>\n<p>While the clients can see the fruits of their labor every quarter, we can see their success on store shelves!<\/p>\n<p>Are you ready to pursue your inventing dreams like Ruth and Gary? If so, you can safely submit your invention idea, here!<\/p>\n<p>Copyright Davison, 2016<\/p>\n<p><em>The typical project is not licensed, sold in stores or profitable.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Husband and wife duo, Ruth and Gary, reached out to Davison 12 years ago for our expertise in preparing and presenting their product to corporations for licensing.
