Who invented the electric iron and in what year and country?
ELECTRIC IRON The electric iron was invented in 1882 by Henry W. Seeley, a New York inventor. Seeley patented his “electric flatiron” on June 6, 1882 (patent no. 259,054). His iron weighed almost 15 pounds and took a long time to warm up. Other electric irons had also been invented, including one from France (1882), but it used a carbon arc to heat the iron, a method which was dangerous. Good luck 🙂 Sources: http://www.enchantedlearning.com/inventors/indexe.
