In theory yes
In reality, they will find a way around your patent.
Look up the patent on window wipers as an example

I think that might have been his name.
This oddly reminds me that the original patent for the chainsaw was for aiding childbirth.
I’ll let anyone curious enough google that.
I’m not doing the research on that. That is horrifying
