Part of a continuing series of inventor portraits.
Inventor: Michael Rosenberg
Invention: Media-Dispensing Apparatus and Method
Patent: Application No. 11/827,032
Brand Name: The Game Chamber
Michael Rosenberg’s kids have a lot of games for their Nintendo DS handheld system, at a cost of 30 or 40 bucks each. As kids will do, they sometimes let their bedrooms get messy, and games get lost or broken. Finally, out of frustration, Michael decided to invent a gadget that stores games in a way that ensures they don’t get lost: in order to remove a game from the Game Chamber, you have to put the one you’re using back in.
Here’s Michael with a Nintendo DS and his dog Busta (click any photo to enlarge):
I can’t imagine how a toy could get lost in this room:
And finally, here’s Michael in the plastic injection molding factory where the Game Chamber is made, standing among various molds for dozens of products made at the factory.
The current model Game Chamber holds 6 Nintendo DS games, but Michael is developing models that hold more games, and that come in different shapes and sizes appropriate for different age groups and different game systems.

“Dreams and determination aren’t only for the young. My partners and I are ‘older guys.’ I am 64 and my partners Don and John are 64 and 68. I am President and do operations, Don does marketing/sales and John is our patent attorney/treasurer. We have known each other for over 50 years. They say never to go into business with friends and relatives, but we have done that and have benefited greatly from it. My Uncle Anthony and Cousin Stephen manufacture the WireMate for us here in the US. They also handle product inventory and order fulfillment for us. My uncle is 81 and has been an inspiration to me in terms of his vitality, support and belief in what we are doing. My son-in-law Eben is our webmaster. My neighbor Maria is our graphic artist and my neighbors David and Lorraine are our focus group. It has been an interesting trip. I have no doubt that the WireMate will sell millions of units/year as it finds its way into more and more homes and corporations.”




“My daughter Alana was the inspiration for the Balloon-O-Band. She lost 3 character balloons ($8 each x 3 = $24) at one kids show. Then we went to an amusement park and she was taking the balloon on and off between rides and I had to keep untying the ribbon, and I noticed that this was happening to parents and children all around me all the time. I couldn’t take it anymore, so like with many of my inventions, I needed to find a solution to keep our kids happy and parents keep their sanity and investment!”
