Benjamin Franklin was a successful, impressive, and inspiring politician, statesman, author, publisher, scientist, and philosopher. He was one of the Founding Fathers and actually came up with the system of government outlined in the Constitution. It would take practically forever to list all of his accomplishments and impacts, but some are as follows: - inventing bi-focal glasses - inventing the glass armonica (a musical instrument) - serving in the Continental Congress and the Constitutional Convention - inventing the Franklin Stove - inventing the lightning rod and not getting a patent, so as to make them affordable - proving lightning electricity which can be harnessed with his kite and key experiment (a risk to his life) - starting a lending library - publishing Poor Richard's Almanac and the Pennsylvania Gazette - serving as the first American ambassador to France and persuading the French to join with the Americans against the British in the Revolutionary War

Foremost Benjamin Franklin comes to mind as one of the founding fathers of an independent America. Also, he never applied for a patent for his many inventions such as bifocal eyeglass lenses or his "frogman flipper" invention. He created crop insurance and served as the minister to France during the American Revolutionary War.
When Franklin invented his various items there was no patent office, so he didn't have any.
Benjamin Franklin is one of the most amazing men in the history of the 13 British Colonies in North America and as a citizen of the United States after the successful revolution that freed the 13 colonies. What made him amazing was that he was a scientist ( created bifocal eyeglasses ) among other inventions ( of which he gave away free, no patent nonsense from him ) and he was a statesman in US matters and a diplomat for the US in France. He has the distinction of being a member of the "Founding Fathers of America ".
Bifocal lenses as a concept were not patented; there are dozens of patents related to bifocals, bifocal contacts, and processes to make bifocals.

They were invented by Benjamin Franklin. if he was the patentee they would have been among the first inventions duly filed with the patent office in early American times. I do not know when the Patent Office was established, probably in Philly, which was then the de facto capital.

Electricity. You name it he dabbled in it. He has a patent on the Franklin Stove and developed a musical instrument whose name I forget but it was based on the sound made by moving your finger along the rim of a glass. He also discovered the ocean current on his return from France.
