Local Inventor Wins Gold Medal for
Save The Chairs!™ Chair Cover at America's Largest
Invention Show
Atlanta, June 12, 2006...Karen Nadler-Sachs, of Dunwoody,
Georgia, exhibited her patent-pending adjustable chair
cover at INPEX, America’s largest invention show last week,
and returned home triumphant. She received the gold medal
in the household category – the largest category at the
show.
Amongst other memorable experiences, Nadler-Sachs met
Francisco Patino and other finalists on ABC' American
Inventor. Patino kindly examined her invention and offered
his marketing suggestions. In addition, Nadler-Sachs
pitched her product to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,
received enthusiastic interest from the Electronic
Retailers Association, and was able to have questions
answered by local businesswoman Sarah Blakely of SPANX.
"The entire experience affirmed my belief in my product.
Although some critics say there are no ugly babies
(inventions), I now have more cause to believe that I have
a real beauty on my hands!" said Nadler-Sachs.
Although slipcovers are typically used simply to redecorate
in the home, Nadler-Sachs had bigger ideas than that. Due
to the constant messes her young daughter created every
time she ate, Nadler-Sachs needed a labor-saving device
that would eliminate the need to clean the chairs
incessantly. So she created the "Save The Chairs!™ chair
cover, which is laminated with urethane, eliminating spills
from soaking through the chair cover onto the chair. But
better yet, it is completely adjustable to provide a
custom-tailored look to almost any-size dining room or
kitchen chair. This invention would be ideal for caregivers
of young children, the elderly and the disabled...or really
anyone who just wants a more custom-looking slipcover.
Nadler-Sachs is currently seeking manufacturing in China,
and expects to have the product on the market by the
beginning of 2007.

Georgia Inventor to Exhibit "Save The Chairs! Chair
Cover" at America's Largest Invention Show
PITTSBURGH, April 27, 2006...INPEX, America's Largest
Invention Trade Show, announces that Karen Nadler-Sachs,
from Dunwoody, Ga., has invented a chair cover to protect
dining room and kitchen chairs from spills. This invention
will be exhibited at INPEX, June 7-10, in Pittsburgh.
Chair covers create a welcoming appearance in the home, but
they can be costly or ineffective if something is spilled.
The "Save The Chairs! Chair Cover" would adjust to fit any
size dining chair. It is also fused with an impermeable
lining to help eliminate spills from soaking through the
chair cover onto the chair. According to the inventor, this
could save someone the cost of having to have custom chair
covers made. It would be easily removed from the chair for
machine washing, and it saves the user from clean-up labor.
This invention would be ideal for caregivers of young
children, the elderly and the disabled.
The Save The Chairs! Chair Cover is made of a cotton
fabric, and fused with urethane to prevent spills.
Adjustable to fit any chair, an individual would slide the
cover onto the chair, and adjust it as needed. It resembles
a custom-made slipcover.
The inventor created the chair cover because of an
experience with her young daughter. "My daughter is
constantly spilling things onto the chairs in the dining
room and kitchen," she said. "I wanted to make clean-up
easier."
Nadler-Sachs is exhibiting at INPEX with the hopes of
finding a licensee or distributor.
