Biography
Charles Schild (1902–1980) was an American inventor. His patents range from as widely disparate fields as automotives and games, while many of his inventions were never patented at all.
Two of his inventions designed for medical assistance:
- A hand-operated 4-wheel cart for a young man who was paralyzed from the waist down, and
- A machine which allowed very gentle massage of petroleum jelly on burn victims (sicsic) with major portions of their bodies affected.
Among his inventions were an early version of what now is the spinning reel for fishing and a guitar which could play chords.
