ironing board Sarah Boone December 30, 1887

---

Of the several hundred US patents on ironing boards granted prior to Sarah Boone's, the first three went to William Vandenburg in 1858 (patents #19390, #19883, #20231). The first American female patentee of an ironing board is probably Sarah Mort of Dayton, Ohio, who received patent #57170 in 1866. In 1869, Henry Soggs of Columbus, Pennsylvania earned US patent #90966 for an ironing board resembling the modern type, with folding legs, adjustable height, and a cover. Another nice example of a modern-looking board was designed by J.H. Mallory in 1871, patent #120296.

lawn mower L. A. Burr May 19, 1889

---

English engineer Edwin Budding invented the first reel-type lawn mower (with blades arranged in a cylindrical pattern) and had it patented in England in 1830. In 1868 the United States issued patent #73807 to Amariah M. Hills of Connecticut, who went on to establish the Archimedean Lawn Mower Co. in 1871. By 1888, the US Patent Office had granted 138 patents for lawn mowers (Butterworth, Growth of Industrial Art). Doubtlessly there were even more by the time Burr got his patent in 1899.

Some website authors want Burr to have invented the first "rotary blade" mower, with a centrally mounted spinning blade. But his patent #624749 shows yet another twist on the old reel mower, differing in only a few details with Budding's original.

lawn sprinkler J. W. Smith May 4, 1897

---

The first US patent with the title "lawn sprinkler" was issued to J. Lessler of Buffalo, New York in 1871 (#121949). Early examples of water-propelled, rotating lawn sprinklers were patented by J. Oswald in 1890 (#425340) and J. S. Woolsey in 1891 (#457099) among a gazillion others.

Smith's patent shows just another rotating sprinkler, and McCoy's 1899 patent was for a turtle-shaped sprinkler.

lemon squeezer J. Thomas White December 8, 1893

---

The turkish people actually made the first Lemon Squeezer. It was found in Kütahya, Turkey and dates to the first quarter of the 18th century.
Carswell, John (1971). The Lemon-Squeezer; an Unique Form of Turkish Pottery, p. 36

Also, on July 3 1860, the "Orange Juice Extractor" was made by Oliver R. Long, and it clearly says:
"The invention relates to improvements in devises for extracting the juice from oranges and other fruits and vegetables capable of [yielding] their natural juices upon the application of mechanical pressure."

lubricating cup Ellijah McCoy November 15, 1895

---

The oil cup, which automatically delivers a steady trickle of lubricant to machine parts while the machine is running, predates McCoy's career; a description of one appears in the May 6, 1848 issue of Scientific American. The automatic "displacement lubricator" for steam engines was developed in 1860 by John Ramsbottom of England, and notably improved in 1862 by James Roscoe of the same country. The "hydrostatic" lubricator originated no later than 1871.

Variants of the phrase Real McCoy appear in Scottish literature dating back to at least 1856 — well before Elijah McCoy could have been involved.

mail box Paul L. Downing October 27, 1891

---

The US Postal Service says that "Street boxes for mail collection began to appear in large [US] cities by 1858." They appeared in Europe even earlier, according to historian Laurin Zilliacus:

Mail boxes as we understand them first appeared on the streets of Belgian towns in 1848. In Paris they came two years later, while the English received their 'pillar boxes' in 1855.
_______
Laurin Zilliacus, Mail for the World, p. 178 (New York, J. Day Co., 1953)

From the same book (p.178), "Private mail boxes were invented in the United States in about 1860."

Eventually, letter drop boxes came equipped with inner lids to prevent miscreants from rummaging through the mail pile. The first of many US patents for such a purpose was granted in 1860 to John North of Middletown, Connecticut (US Pat. #27466).

mop Thomas W. Stewart June 11, 1893

---

Mops go back a long, long way before 1893. Just how long, is hard to determine. Restricting our view to the modern era, we find that the United States issued its first mop patent (#241) in 1837 to Jacob Howe, called "Construction of Mop-Heads and the Mode of Securing them upon Handles." One of the first patented mops with a built-in wringer was the one H. & J. Morton invented in 1859 (US #24049).

The mop specified in Stewart's patent #499402 has a lever-operated clamp for "holding the mop rags"; the lever is not a wringing mechanism as erroneously reported on certain websites. Other inventors had already patented mops with lever-operated clamps, one of the first being Greenleaf Stackpole in 1869 (US Pat. #89803).

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) patented an Alternating Current motor.

Next, a motor vehicle patent was created in Feb 21, 1935 (US#2163748)
Now, how can a motor vehicle be created before the motor? TOO MUCH TIME TRAVELING, DAMNIT!

pencil sharpener J. L. Love November 23, 1897

---

Bernard Lassimone of Limoges, France invented one of the earliest sharpeners, receiving French patent number 2444 in 1828. An apparent ancestor of the 20th-century hand-cranked sharpener was patented by G. F. Ballou in 1896 (US #556709) and marketed by the A.B. Dick Company as the "Planetary Pencil Pointer." As the user held the pencil stationary and turned the crank, twin milling cutters revolved around the tip of the pencil and shaved it into a point.

Love's patent #594114 shows a variation on a different kind of sharpener, in which one would crank the pencil itself around in a stirring motion. An earlier device of a similar type was devised in 1888 by G.H. Courson (patent #388533), and sold under the name "President Pencil Sharpener."

street sweeper Charles B. Brooks March 17, 1890

---

Brooks' patent was for a modified version of a common type of street sweeper cart that had long been known, with a rotary brush that swept refuse onto an elevator belt and into a trash bin. In the United States, street sweepers started being patented in the 1840s, and by 1900 the Patent Office had issued about 300 patents for such machines.

Dr. Willis Carrier built the first machine to control both the temperature(air conditioner) and humidity(thermostat) of indoor air. He received the first of many patents in 1906 (US patent #808897, for the "Apparatus for Treating Air"). In 1911 he published the formulae that became the scientific basis for air conditioning design, and four years later formed the Carrier Engineering Corporation to develop and manufacture AC systems.

typewriter Burridge & Marshman April 7, 1885

---

Henry Mill, an English engineer, was the first person to patent the basic idea of the typewriter in 1714. The first working typewriter known to have actually been built was the work of Pellegrino Turri of Italy in 1808. The familiar QWERTY keyboard, developed by C. L. Sholes and C. Glidden, reached the market in 1874. In 1878 change-case keys were added that enabled the typing of both capital and small letters.

However, to exaggurate or even simply lie isn't the way to go about it. Technological inventions is only one of many methods used to measure the "success" of a race, and however you'd like to define that is up for grabs.

There are plenty of things that blacks could celebrate which are not invented inventions. Using such as the only way to define the "success" of a race can only go so far, especially when you compare the two and see why whites were more inclined to invent things than blacks. Give credit where credit is due, and keep in mind the circumstances that allowed such things to occur. No need to lie or exaggurate.  Doing so only insults blacks and the real successes they have achieved which are being ignored.

It was ages behind. Many parts were still in the stone age. Now, they were still living prehistorically like animals, but not until they were shown technology that was centuries ahead of them did they turn into piles of shit.

There are plenty of things that blacks could celebrate which are not invented inventions. But kidd ruin and other racists just think blacks have NOTHING to be proud about and they all inferior to whites and use inventions to PROVE that blacks are inferior. I never said negroes were inferior. Never ONCE did I say that. Now, I'm not going to believe a bunch of negro invention lies simply because people claim them to make negroes feel better. Maybe Bud2400 is right. Find a reason why you should be proud of your genetic makeup and spread that word, but don't formulate lies and faulty inventions to do so, especially when they're easily disproven.

except you really did not "disprove" it. You just kept arguing about how the original invention was made by whites and try to put down what was done by blacks. Those inventions listed are still inventions even if they are not "orginal" inventions.

---

Invention-
1.the act of inventing.
2.U.S. Patent Law. a new, useful process, machine, improvement, etc., that did not exist previously and that is recognized as the product of some unique intuition or genius, as distinguished from ordinary mechanical skill or craftsmanship.

Obviously they aren't inventions, but improvements. I DID disprove them.

I'm jazzy jeff.

---

So you saying some of the claims are lies?

---

I'd say making improvements like making elevators with doors (as opposed to ones without) and calling those "inventions" is exagguration at its best.  Improvement =/= invention, although you can certainly give some credit to those who make improvements to what's already invented.  Calling them the same thing, however, is misleading.

---

hey consider your friend abs thinks africa is a piece of shit before the colonization of whites hes not really far away from kidd ruin.

---

Abs usually refers to Africa during the 15th century - he certainly knows about the glories of the Aksumite Empire during its prime in the 1st - 6th centuries and how rich the Malinese were during the 1300s.  He wouldn't be too far off either - I wouldn't call it a "piece of shit," though, but rather, simply undeveloped in the bulk of the continent.  Hence why slavery was such a big thing in Africa since the Roman era - lots of tribes to go enslave without disrupting any kind of development that may hurt the rest of the developed world.

---

But kidd ruin and other racists just think blacks have NOTHING to be proud about and they all inferior to whites and use inventions to PROVE that blacks are inferior.

---

Then show him how there are far more things than just inventions to be proud of.  I guarantee trying to argue this will get you nowhere.  Simply explain why blacks have relatively few inventions to boast whereas whites do and what blacks have actually done to truly be proud of. His implication is that there's some kind of racial ingenuity among whites (and lack of among blacks), and there are ways to counter that idea, especially as it's based entirely on speculation.  If he disagrees, then that's his own ignorance and let him be.
