Invention? I didn't know that was something modern people did these days... unless you're talking about improving machines in engineering or something. Oh wait you're not actually going to make it right? Just brainstorming useless ideas?

A clip that you add to the back of a folding chair to prevent it from collapsing when you sit/stand on it.
A bit of metal you hang off one of the lower rungs of a ladder, then if it slips the metal hits the floor and locks it in place.
