Surely those who came up with these things were disappointed that their idea most of the people did not appreciate, but because these items have a high practical value, they clearly do not call them baubles.
The editors will tell about useful things, the functions of which you most likely did not know.
1. Loops on shoe backs
Many people in fairness cut off these loops, but they have a certain role - with their help it is easier to wear shoes on the lacing. When the loop is placed just below, it is convenient to operate it for an additional lacing. It is suitable for drying shoes.
2. Sitting on the pipe of the vacuum cleaner
This hole is needed to reduce suction power. It is especially useful when you want to spend the curtains. Opening the hatch and reducing power, you can save the vacuum cleaner from overheating. If for new models it is not particularly relevant, then for older it is very useful.
3. Regulation of modes in plastic windows
I confess, for me it became a surprise that in plastic windows it is possible to change the modes depending on the summer or winter period. It is in the position of the eccentric. In the horizontal position, it should be only in winter, because otherwise the sealant will wear out very quickly.
4. Hole and teeth at the tape measure
The hole will help to fix the roulette for some nail, and the teeth will help to make a mark if there is no handle at hand.
5. Volumetric dashes on the keyboard under the letters f and j
It turns out that they are made for those who like to print blindly. With their help, you can position your fingers on the keyboard correctly.
6. Slit on the end of the chopstick chopstick
In childhood, we all thought it was a kind of whistle, but really a hole needed to keep the candy tightly on a stick. This happens due to the fact that in the hot condition, caramel flows into this slot.
7. Entertaining detail on the stapler
At the bottom of the stapler there is a platform that bends the brackets. It can be deployed 180 degrees, and then the brackets can be bent in the other side, which is very convenient when it is necessary to braid sheets for only some time.
8. Foam on the microphone
It allows you to "slow down" the air flow, so that noise of wind or loud sounds in the studio, which interfere with the listener to disassemble words.
9. Different surfaces of cotton disks
Relief is used to apply creams and other means, and smooth - to wash out make-up.
10. Disk in a plastic bottle cap
Such discs you could see bottles with gas. They prevent the conversion of carbonated water to the usual.
11. A small hole in the mounted castle
This is a peculiar protection against moisture accumulation, due to which the mechanism can quickly rust. And in winter it is an excellent rescue from freezing.
With many of these things we face almost every day, and they didn't even know about their incredible utility.
