Function
Used to press flat and/or remove wrinkles from fabrics.
Technical
The electric iron was invented in 1882, by Howard Seely. Seely patented his electric flat iron on June 6, 1882 (U.S. Patent no. 259,054). Early electric irons used a carbon arc to create heat, which was an unsafe method. In 1892, hand irons using electrical resistance were introduced by Crompton and Company and the General Electric Company. During the 1950s, electric steam irons were introduced.
