Because you posted it here with a time stamp, you've established ownership of the design but I agree with mcchwo, apply ASAP, I wasn't kidding about the Harbor Freight thing!

The only way patenting a design will really help you is if you can afford the lawyers to defend your patent in court. Having a patent won't stop anyone who has the money to fight you until you can't fight anymore. According to my FIL, you also need the help of a patent lawyer to research state of the art, and prior related work. He's an engineer, with hundreds of patents. All of which belong to his various former employers.
