For this week's HomeTalkUSA "Invent America" segment, Michael King and co-host Rita Crompton welcome Darrell Swink, inventor of the Ice Grill Brush, to discuss "Patent Infringement: What Do You Do?" Swink owns and manages a fireplace and barbecue company in Denver, Colorado, installing, maintaining, and cleaning fireplaces and barbecues. This experience gave way to the invention of the Ice Grill Brush, solving the problem of people buying cheap brushes that they constantly have to throw away. Swink is currently working on a 2nd generation version of the Ice Grill Brush that's more environmentally friendly.
I currently own and run a fireplace and barbecue company in the Denver Colorado area where we maintain install service and clean fireplaces and barbecues this has allowed me to create the ice Grillbrush to help solve a problem with people buying cheap brushes that they constantly have to throw away. I live in the Denver area and I am expanding to a second product getting away from plastics to be more environmentally friendly and to where the product will last for years. I’ve always enjoyed solving problems and making quality products.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
