19th Century Inventions That Never Really Caught On

The late 19th century is known as the grand age of invention. Things like the telephone, electric light, and automobile all were invented during this time just to name a few. However, not everything that people dreamed up during that time came to be. Here's some examples.....
Yes, that's device to help a woman wash her titties.
Why eye glasses for chickens never caught on is a mystery to me.

Blinders for chickens were very common in the rural US in the 20th Century.

In case death was mistakenly declared and a person was buried alive, a patent was put forward for a 'life-indicator' coffin (right), where the buried person could rotate a set of handles to move a dial above ground
How often were people accidentally buried alive back then?

Do you like running around with your titties unwashed?

I don't know any numbers but I've heard it was not that unheard of for people to be thought dead and then suddenly wake up.

Wonder how many are killed by the embalming process.

Very early in David Letterman's NBC show he went to an inventor's convention in NYC and interviewed a guy from South America who had invented this kind of machine. A hilarious bit, I wonder if the clip is online anywhere...

Back in the 1500s or 1600s people would drink their liquor in lead cups and the combination would sometimes knock them out for a few days. People got buried alive that way. Not sure if that was still the case in the 1800s or not.
