Interview between Frank Fleischer (79 years old inventor) and Andrew Spriegel
February 28, 2010

Interviewer:  What are you up to these days, at 79 years young you must be kicking back and relaxing?
Frank: Hardly, I currently am the president of the Canton Inventor’s Association which I founded about 15 years ago.  I recently invented a health care product to help realign people’s hips while sleeping.  The product is being brought to market and is selling for example in nursing homes, drug stores, chiropractic offices, doctor’s offices, and other locations.  At 79, I am sure that I am one of the “oldest new start-up” businesses in the country.

Interviewer:  What is the patent pending product called?
Frank: “Nee-Z-eeZ^tm” which stands for “Knees Ease”. 

Interviewer:  How does the “Nee-Z-eeZ^tm” work?
Frank: Well unlike a pillow that moves when a person sleeps, the “Nee-Z-eeZ^tm” always rests properly in place because of the adjustable strap.   We received an endorsement from a woman the other day that said with the “Nee-Z-eeZ^tm” she slept through the night for the first time in years.  She has tremendous hip pain and she always slept with a pillow between her legs.  When the pillow shifted during sleep she was always awakened by the pain.  With the “Nee-Z-eeZ^tm” the device didn’t shift so she is now able to sleep through the night.

Interviewer:  Who manufactures the Nee-Z-eeZ?
Frank: Goodwill Industries in Akron, Ohio
