Maybe for some people life could be a little complicated. For others, life could be less stressed if they were not dealing with buttons or instruction manuals. Certainly something that cannot be denied is that inventions facilities life of much people. However, there are some ingenious creations with little utility for the human beings.
The website Top10 list published the ten most useless inventions of the history. Here we introduce four of them. Moreover, if you have one of those at home, keep it, get rid of them or just send them to the museum. The decision is yours.
Baby cage, 1937
In 1937, the Chelsea Baby club of London, England, promoted some cages of wood and wire to place the newborns out of the windows of the departments. This was introduced as alternative for those families without any gardens or any specific place where they can leave their babies. Also, the cage would allow the baby to have fresh air and sunlight.
Sure it did not work, who wants to hang their baby outside in the 5th floor of the building. It is hard to imagine that someone did invent this baby cage as a useful thing.
Cat-Mew Machine, 1963
If rodents were the problem in the kitchen, here was the ultimate solution. Invented in Japan and brought direct to the stores was this device called "mew cat machine." Powered by a two watt motor, the objective of this expensive device was to scare rodents by imitating the sound of a cat, “mew.”
Sure rodents made fun of that.
Shower Hood, 1970
Our modern times demand much more of our time and every day we have less time to do our routine activities. In the case of the women, time can be short in mater of makeup. Do not worry, someone had the solution. Here we have the wonderful “Shower hood.” The one that allow women to take a shower without damaging the makeup.
Nevertheless, the invention did not succeed, but there are a lot of women who still waiting for an upgrade in this invention.

Cigarette Holder Built for Two, 1955
Ok, here is the situation. A smoker buys a new box of cigarettes; suddenly someone came and asks for a cigar. How far the smoker can go when he/she does not want to share a new cigarette? Here is the solution, the smoker share their cigarette with the other person. But in order to avoid awful experiences, like extra saliva in the filter, a genius developed an instrument of two mouthpieces that permit two people to smoke of the same cigar.
Wow, sure both had the same amount of nicotine!
