ABC’s American Inventor- Season 2, 4th Episode
Posted by Dan under Inventors & InventionsFew of the final contestants from Chicago and New York.
Wigberto Deglado - The Urinator: Nonsense.
John Stark - The Easy Squeeze Ear Plug
Another useless produtct: balloon that inflates in your ear.
Elaine Cato: backless support bra . Elaine is actually wearing it and demostrating that it works.
David Skotzke - Hands Free Toilet Seat Lifter. Just useless…
Chris Brooks – Massager that attaches to a remote control. Come’n Chris. Get life.
Alvin Quiles – Skaterade : What is this is this contraption? Useless products…
David Mallet – The Wingman. Sync up with others and fine a potential mate.I think it is not practical, specifically that one needs to carry another device?
David Moeller and Craig Forest – The Claw : I liked it. Very practical in apartment. Seems to be simple to operate.
Ann Marie Bryan – The Ready to Wear Speaker Gear. Innovative and useful. Great for those that need it.
The winner this round were:
David Moeller & Craig Forest from New York! (The Claw)
Elaine Cato from Chicago (backless support bra)

Would like to know how to get a hold of Elaine Cato. Am Intersested in purchasing one of her bra’s and discussing an idea to further market her invention.
Where to find this bra ?
Would definitely buy !!!
I know this is sad but i feel that they should have gave her the prize
if x mas tree goes up in flames at least it will be no where near my bras !
I HAVE TO FIND THIS BRA !!!!!!!!
Where can I buy this bra!
America we can be the judges of american inventor!
Use your voice!
This lady is a winner!
I agree with everyone about the backless bra. I need one too. Please help!
I NEED the Elaine Cato bra!! I’m dying for it! I’ve been on maidenform’s website and they have nothing on it. When can I purchase this bra??? PLEASE tell me!
My daughter and I are both crazy about Elaine Cato’s bra. Even though she didn’t win the American Inventor I hope she makes it big. This is a fabulous idea. I will buy one in every color for my size and so will my daughter. When will they be on the market we can’t wait.
i would really like to purchase your bra—i want it in every color!!!
please email me…do you have your own website?
If anyone knows of any way of getting ahold of one of these bras, let me know please, very interested!!!
big congratulations to elaine! i am waiting patiently for one of her bras. please send retail info, asap!!!
by the way, will she own the patent or will american inventor? despite what the judges said, there isn’t anything like it on the market. i would hate to see someone so nice and innovated to be taken advantage of.
Ditto, I need her bra also! Where? Please?
I can’t believe that she didn’t win the final prize. She has a product I have been searching for many years. How do I buy one? Heck with the show, she has a million dollar product.

I’m interested in Elaine Cato’s backless bra!! Please help if there is any info anyone can give me on where to buy i.

So, my daughter told me to find out if the “bra Lady” won the American Inventor. Of course not, because MEN just do not realize how IMPORTANT bras are, and how FRUSTRATING finding one is! She and I both would LOVE LOVE LOVE this bra! I cannot wait to get my hands on one. I know they will be on the market, but no one seems even to know if Elaine has a web site or anything with more information! HELP US!!!
Please let me know what Elaine Cato’s website is to order one of her backless bras. Thank you in advance!
We want this bra too! – where are the replies to the comments about it?! We didnt see it on the maidenform site either, so we googled it. This is all we got. Somebody help :-\
If anyone finds anything out about how to get in touch with Elaine Cato, would love one of the bras myself. She should have been the winner. This bra is the greatest thing that has ever happened for woman.
I’m getting married very soon and I have a dress with a very low back and I need to find a bra that is designed for someone who is a 34DD. Elaine’s bra seems perfect. Please any info on how to purchase now would be wonderful.
I am interested in the backless bra. Does she have an e-mail address? I would also like to run another invention by her.
Thanks,

I am with the rest of the women. I need this bra because I bought a dress to wear in Vegas and I am searching for the perfect bra.. I too would like info on Elaine Cato whereabouts.
My daughter and I were so excited when we saw Elaine Cato and her backless bra. WE NEED THIS BRA! We think she should have won hands down. Her backless bra is like the proverbial “little black dress” every woman needs at least one in her wardrobe. I want one in every color. Please if anyone knows how to contact Elaine Cato pass the info on.
Thanks,
Frieda Elaine
I saw this bra on when the show aired and thought it was the best idea ever. I would LOVE to buy 1, 2 or more. I love wearing backless shirts but at a 36D i cannot go without support so I end up cutting up my bras and sewing them into my shirts—not to sexy when you take it off. Does anyone know where to purchase this??
Has anyone found out if this bra is in production yet, and where we can buy it. On the show they said Maidenform was going to help her develop it, but the Maidenform website has nothing about it!
RE: Elaine Cato’s bra (from a Tennesse newspaper/website):
“I would rather have people send correspondence to Maidenform asking them where my bra is than to send me e-mails of congratulations. That way we can all come out on top.”
Uh, no pun intended, of course.
You can assist Elaine’s quest by calling 1-800-726-3985 or e-mailing www.
maidenform.com/custserv/custserv.jsp?sectionId=15.
I would also like to know where and when this wonderful bra will be sold!! I heard that Maidenform was going to take charge, but no where on the site does it say anything. I e-mailed them, as well, but they never wrote back. If anyone knows anything as to how I can get it, that would be just GREAT!
HI, I WONDER IF THIS WAS A BIG JOKE. HAVE LOOKED FOR THIS BRA AT MAIDEN FORM. HOPE TO HEAR SOON. THANKS ANN
I am a young breast cancer survivor for 8 years now and I would love to purchase this bra. I also suffer from degerative disc disease and can not wear bras for long periods of time. Winters are not too bad because I can wear sweaters, but the summers are difficult in T-shirts. I really would like to be able to purcahse this bra, to help me feel better about myself. After reading the comments above, I think this would be a great seller. I am looking for this to come on the market, hopefully soon. ANy information or updates would be great. I loved the product when it was on American Inventor. All the best to youand your fam Elaine, and THANK YOU!!!!
here is an email i got from maidenform today…
I am proud to say that we have the bra that everyone is talking about but it won’t be out for some time. We do not know when it might come out. I would just keep an eye for any news for it. I don’t believe that it would be before the summer though. I hope this helps a little. Have a good evening.
Sincerely,

this should be it. (at least, i hope it is)
YOU CAN PRE-ORDER THE BRA NOW AT MAIDENFORM.COM!!!!!!!!!!!
ONLY $25
I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!
She sold this on american inventor as a bra that every woman would want and could have!!
I was soooo excited as as a backless bra is something I could have never even concidered before!
The bra’s only go upto size DD!!
There are millions of bras out there that go to a size DD! I would LOVE to be a DD!
Try being a GG like me!! very very disappointed!! was willing her to win all the way along but now I wish I hadn’t
In one of her interviews she had said that you must have large breast to use the bra and that you could not be Flat chested.
but, flat chested women also would like to wear a bra if wearing a backless top/dress because the bra makes there breast look bigger.
So I am currently working on an invention were small or large chested
(including GG or larger) can also put on a sexy backless top/dress and feel great!
If interested let me know and I will keep you posted
Take Care
Jeanine
