What does a patented product mean?

SuperFit tries to convey that because they have a patent it is a guarantee that their ring is safe. It doesn't work like that! And they know very well that is the case, as they have two previous patents that were disasters. See A & B.

Look at these two patents, you can see where he tried to use springs and failed:

(A) Patent 4,763,490(click) As this spring would come loose, he came up with the idea of a screw to hold it in place. Thus the next patent.
(B) Patent 4,879,883(click) The big Phillips screw was his answer to that. I suppose if you had a monkey wrench he might offer you a job.

What good were those patents then? You can see for yourself how ridiculous they were and yet they were issued a patent number for them.

Not because they were safe or good, but only because they were different.

They pretend that a patent is a guarantee that it is safe.

 
   
What a wealth of inspiration!

So they touted their "SuperFit" as an Engineering Breakthrough, and a marvel of Engineering. Not! Taiwan paper ring research.

It has been nothing more than a marvel of deception. They fooled everybody... even themselves. It is nothing more than a novelty item for costume jewelry.

         
Puzzle fit is not a lock 
SuperFit is simply a modified "Loose-leaf Ring".

Planned obsolescence is built right in as the *MTBF is short lived.

Is this something or nothing?
After seeing this
I think it is nothing.

     
 

The SuperFit (Book Binder Ring technology) does not have any bite (lock) at all.
It is only two pieces jammed together. Not locked, that is why they don’t last.

The center latch is not a safety as they say, it is a free swinging latch YouTube (no control at all that is why it rattles loose and lets go) with a tiny nib at the end it is a separator to un jam the two parts to help start to open the ring when new, after a few months it flies off your finger without notice (Lesson learned) as it no longer stays jammed and also serves to blow smoke as a diversion to add wow to the untrained eye and make you think it locks (Perceived lock not a real lock.)

Here we didn’t show the center latch as this strips away any diversions it causes to untrained eyes. See how it rattles loose in our test We cut through the smoke and mirrors in our test. The center latch is useless if it does not have a retainer spring to at least try to keep it down.

That is why the PFF Ringlock Clasp has a spring to activate the latch into becoming a real lock.

This is why SuperFit does not lock, it has none. It is all smoke and mirrors.

 
     

With special thanks to the sender of this letter for sending us this bad photo copy where we got the patent number to make a search. If it weren't for receiving this anonymous letter (post marked 10 miles from the SuperFit company) we would not have found the incriminating patent information where SuperFit admits inadvertent opening problems. Basically the ring flops open.
