I don't know. But the way to find out is www.USPTO.gov. The US Patent and Trademark Office. They allow searches by many criteria. It will take just a little work, but once you know how to search on USPTO, your power will increase.

Yes. The chlorine in the pool is absorbed in the noodle. It will not only help you loose weight but clean your digestive tract as well but beware you may get pregnant as the noodle may swim to your ovaries. To prevent that place noodles in a large condom and then soak in the pool, alternatively throw a contraceptive pill along with noodles in the pool.

There is no standard "pool noodle." (A pool noodle -- some people call them "k'noodles" or "kanoodles" -- is a tubular pool toy madeof foam that provides flotation -- and can also be used to bludgeon people.) The one in my backyard weighs only a few ounces, but I didn't weigh it, because I have no scale that is capable of resolving to amounts as little as a fraction of an ounce -- or even a fraction of a pound. If you can get your hands on a postal scale, they are capable of measuring and resolving weights to the tenth of an ounce. You don't need to weigh the whole noodle, though. You could cut, say, one foot of a noodle and weight that. Then you'd no how much it weighs per foot.
