These responses are helping!
Searched Google Patents and didn't find a thing close to my idea!
But my main concern now - if I had just the drawings and not an actual prototype, could I still get a patent and secure my idea?
I can draw and describe it all day, but for me to actually engineer this product is a bit of a stretch for me and my business admin. degree.
I also have read about using non-disclourse agreements. I want to be prepared before I go and talk to someone.
So long story short...
2nd Question:
To obtain a "strong" patent, does one need a fully functional prototype?

No, you don't.(need a fully functioning prototype that is)
Not to be a broken record, but hit up Lisa. She's like 75 an hour and in an hour you'll have all of that type of stuff answered.
