African American Inventors: "Ironing board" - Sarah Boone



Now I know some of you have forgotten the importance of ironing clothes, but those who can appreciate crisp jeans and a freshly ironed tee, well you owe a big Thank You to Sarah Boone. 




Boone's design allowed the sleeves and bodies of ladies' garments to effectively remove wrinkles. The initial design was narrow and had a curve that perfectly fit the sleeve of shirts, allowing for one to easily iron both sides of the sleeve. Thanks to Sarah Boone, and her patent in December 1887, we don't have to worry about being wrinkled. So please, take advantage of the beautiful inventions that were created, no use in walking around with our clothes all bunched up with useful inventions like the ironing board making it so easy.
