Yes. First, you can patent something if it is novel. So you need to go to google patents and search for your idea. If you find something similar, you need to see if your innovation is fundamentally different. Second, write up a brief. Add in images and diagrams outlining what you wish to protect. Once you have that, get a patent lawyer who will support you in correcting issues or language to be submitted. The lawyer is there to improve the chances of your patent being accepted. Then pay the fees. It will cost up to $10,000. You can submit it yourself without the lawyer and just pay the fees. But if you have never written patents before you will probably fail to be accepted if not done well. Also don't self select out of submitting. Submit it. Let them tell you it doesn't pass. FYI. I have 17 patents.
