- There are also gadgets like a solar-powered cigarette lighter, a rainwater-collecting upside-down umbrella, and wearable toilet paper as a tissue dispenser.
- Additional items include a nap helmet for metro commuters, an umbrella headband for hands-free rain protection, a tie with pockets for storage, and a mask for lipstick application.
- Further inventions are a finger brush for portable teeth cleaning, dropper glasses for precise eye drops, a chin rest for comfort in crowded trains, and a step dryer for hair while walking.
