Iron History

1. History of Iron Development

The irons we have on hand are usually steam irons, and those water-filled, charcoal-filled, and ...... antique irons with sandwiches are unmemorable to the younger generation.

Through the millennium, let's refresh the history of ironing once again. China's earliest invention of the iron as a torture device The earliest history of the iron can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty, when it was invented as a torture device, specifically for ironing people's skin, which is reminiscent of the story of King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty, who was a brutal king who branded his loyal ministers with his cannons.

Iron to the Han Dynasty was used to iron clothes and popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties. According to archaeologists, the ancient Chinese iron was invented more than 1,600 years before the foreign invention of the iron, is the world's first invention and use of the iron.

The iron used to iron clothes appeared in China during the Han Dynasty (2 AD). The Du Preliminary Collection of the Jin Dynasty states, "The pestle and mortar, the bath tub, and the iron ...... are all used by the people in an emergency."

It can be seen that the iron was already a folk household utensil at that time. According to the "Bronze Dictionary", the iron of the Hanwei period is cast in bronze, some iron on the iron is also engraved with "iron straight clothes" inscription, it can be seen that people at that time have understood the use of the iron.

On the "iron" the origin of the name, there are two explanations of the ancient text, one is to take the meaning of the symbol of the Big Dipper, the Eastern Han Dynasty "Shuowen Jiezi" in the explanation: "Doo, the elephant has a handle"; the Qing Dynasty "Shuowen Jiezi note" in the wrote: "on the image of the shape of the bucket, under the image of its handle, the bucket has a handle, cover the north bucket." Second, the iron is shaped like a bucket.

There are also ironing called "fire bucket", "gold bucket". Because the ancient iron is not electric, but the red-hot charcoal in the iron, and so the bottom of the iron is hot hot hand after use, so it is also called "fire bucket".

"Golden bucket" refers to the very delicate iron, not ordinary folk supplies, only the royal family can enjoy. In some places nowadays, due to the special needs of laundries or in the absence of electricity, there are still charcoal irons.

The birth of the electric iron in the early 20th century Europeans since the 17th century since the ironing of their own clothes, they use a heavy "flat iron" in the fire or hot metal plate heated after ironing clothes, but this ironing is easy to make the iron too hot and burn clothes. The concern about this is also expressed in the fact that the iron is not completely hot when the ironing is tried.

Sometimes the handle of the iron is also made very hot. This meant that people often hurt themselves while ironing.

The situation improved a little in Europe in the 19th century with the introduction of hollow irons with hot water or coal residual fire inside. Take a look at the French iron, made in 1906, which is a very simple device, with none of the various heat-generating fittings that are used on modern irons.

This means that, apart from the fact that it doesn't have to be heated in a fire, it's almost as difficult to use as the old "flat iron". New York inventor Henry W. West changed all that yesterday.

He invented the first electric iron in 1882. It was equipped with a wire element.

The wire heats up when an electric current passes through it, the same principle as a traditional electric stove. The problem with the Sealy iron was that when it came out, there were still very few homes with electricity.

So many people continued to use the "flat iron" into the 20th century. In 1913, the world's first design for an electric iron was introduced by the famous French company "Calori".

However, it was not until 1924 that the first practical electric iron was developed by the American Gitzhaf? In 1926, the first steam iron appeared in New York, which produced a jet of steam that made the fabric being ironed wet, and was manufactured by a company called Eldec.

Since then, steam irons have entered the homes of ordinary people. By 1932, there were irons that could be thermoregulated.

In 1953, the spray steam iron was introduced. Handy modern iron China's current production and use of more electric irons have ordinary and ordinary thermostat type two.

It is mainly composed of the soleplate, heating element, pressure iron, temperature adjustment device, cover and other parts, the soleplate is useful for cast iron, or made of aluminum alloy, heating element is a mica skeleton type, in recent years, with the PTC element as a heat generator, which can save electricity, but also automatically adjust the temperature. Avoid the old products made of bimetal thermostat temperature control quality is not reliable, iron from the varieties also appeared in the jet type, spray type, thermostatic and electrolytic steam type and other new varieties of high power, lightweight, automatic temperature control, spray steam or spray, the pursuit of beautiful styling is a new generation of irons in the direction of development.

The old-fashioned iron, due to the rising temperature and the need to spray water on the clothes from time to time, otherwise, the clothes will easily be burned. Today's iron has long been a gun, not only increased the automatic water spray, cleaning and other functions, some also for different textures of clothing designed for different working temperatures, the use of a handy.

Now many irons have a steam function, after the steam jet, the clothes can be disinfected, sterilized, and restore the elasticity of the clothes, cuffs slack sweater can also be ironed through the float to restore the original shape, even cigarettes and other odors can be eliminated. Some irons also come with exquisite appearance, easy to carry iron collection box, can collect a variety of models of irons, heat-resistant inner layer of high temperature up to 260 degrees Celsius, to ensure the safety of the elderly and children.

In addition, some irons are unique in design. There is an iron with a fully transparent water tank, which is removable and used to dry iron the inner hole part of the sleeve; its titanium soleplate improves the iron's sliding, more wear-resistant and durable, making the ironing smoother and less wear and tear on the clothes.

The automatic power-off device avoids ironing scorched clothes due to negligence, ensuring home safety. There is also a steam hanging iron, in addition to silk, wool, wool sweater, cashmere sweater and other fabrics for cleaning, ironing, its unique features is that it can quickly iron the general ironing is not easy to iron fabrics such as curtains, wedding dresses and so on.

This kind of iron has changed the traditional horizontal iron clumsy, dexterous and easy. The hangers separate the water storage device to increase the amount of water storage, extend the continuous use of time, and eliminate the labor caused by the direct storage of water in the iron feel heavy in the hand.

The digital iron of the future Listening to music while working is nothing new. But if there is a household appliance that works with a music player, have you heard of it? Let's say a "digital player" powers an iron.

This iron is one of the most over-the-top iPod accessories ever. It's an understatement to say that the iron is a digital accessory, because all you have to do is add water.

2. History of the iron

In ancient times, the iron did not use electricity, but rather red-hot charcoal in the iron, which was used when the bottom of the iron was hot, so it was also called a "fire bucket". The "Golden Pipe" refers to a very delicate iron, which is not a common folk product and can only be enjoyed by the nobles. In some places today, due to the special needs of the laundry, or in the absence of electricity, there is the use of charcoal ironing.

The ancient Chinese iron was invented 1880 years earlier than the foreign invention of the iron, is the world's first invention and use of the iron country.

The current electric iron was invented in New York on June 6, 1882, by American Henry Sealy, and could not be popularized because electricity had not yet entered the average household. 1913, the famous French company "Calori" launched the first electric iron design samples. However, it was not until 1924 that the first practical electric iron was successfully developed by an American, Gitzhaf Mill. By 1926, steam irons entered the homes of ordinary people. In 1932, there was an iron that could be thermoregulated, and in 1953, a spray steam iron was introduced. However, according to archaeologists from the excavation of ancient artifacts and a large number of historical materials to prove that the iron used to iron clothes in China's Han Dynasty (2 AD) has appeared

3. The history of the iron

Iron the origin of the name, one is to take the symbol of the meaning of the North Dipper, the second is that the iron's shape is like the shape of the ancient cooking utensils "iron".

Iron like a pan without feet, ironing before the red charcoal in the iron, until the bottom of the hot hot hand before using, so, also known as "fire bucket". There are also ironing called "Beidou", "Jin Dou".

"Gold bucket" is the use of gilt craft refined iron, that is not a general folk supplies can be traced back to the earliest history of the Shang Dynasty, it was invented as a torture device, specifically for ironing human skin, which reminds people of the brutal King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty, the story of the branding of the loyal subjects. Iron to the Han Dynasty was used to iron clothes and popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

According to archaeologists, the ancient Chinese iron was invented more than 1600 years earlier than the foreign invention of the iron, is the world's first invention and use of the iron country. The iron for ironing clothes was already a household utensil during the Han Dynasty.

The iron in the Han and Wei Dynasties, cast in bronze, the appearance of a round belly, wide mouth, with a long handle. Some irons, but also openwork "iron straight clothes" inscription.

Ironing clothes utensils. Anciently known as "iron", also known as "fire bucket", "gold bucket".

Ancient copper iron, some have "ironing straight clothes" inscription, indicating that it is ironing clothes utensils. Iron, in China during the Han Dynasty has been a household utensil.

The iron of the Han Wei period, cast in bronze, the appearance of a round belly, wide mouth, with a long handle. Some irons, but also openwork "iron straight clothes" inscription.

Around the 16th century, the Dutch tailor used a hollow box-shaped iron, the red-hot iron plate from the back door into the iron heated. 18th century is the most commonly used iron cast iron solid iron, people tend to alternate between the two irons: one ironing, one on the charcoal heating.

The electric iron originated in the United States, Chadson converted electrical energy into heat, developed into an electric iron. 1932, the emergence of adjustable temperature of the electric iron.

In 1953, the spray steam iron was introduced. The ancient name for the iron is cobalt.

Liu Zongyuan's "Eight Records of Yongzhou" has two "cobalt pool record", "cobalt pool west hill record", the name of the place can also be seen inside the iron Pei, ironing town, ironing platform, west ironing street, are because of the iron used early, widely used due to. Jin Dynasty's "Du Preliminary Collection" wrote: "Medicine pestle and mortar, bath tray, ironing ...... are all the folk of the urgent use also."

Jin people about the iron and "Jin Shu - Han Kang Bo biography" contained: "Mother party for the big dude, make Kang Bo catch iron, Kang Bo said: iron in the bucket, two handles are still hot." Liang-Jane Wendi "and Xu Recorder see the insider as a bedding" in the record of that "ironing gold color, hairpin tube white teeth wrapped" is not bad; or "King of Huainan" in the legend of the "cannon branding began in the bucket" that one, the book and note: "bucket, ironing also. The book also notes: "Dou, iron.

King Zhou saw the iron rotting manpower, so he made the punishment of cannon branding." Song Gao Cheng, "things Jiyuan - boat and car drapery department - ironing" also cited Huang Fu Quieshi (again, Jin people, Jin dynasty is probably the most focused on the dress of the dynasty, from the complex to nude two extremes are available) of the "Emperor's Century", "Zhou wanted to make heavy punishment, is the first to make a large iron, ironed with fire, so that the hands are always rotten, and Daji for the laughs."

It looks like there really is such a perverted thing exists, although it is not used to iron clothes, but ironing human skin is even more rare, "people today to stretch the silk," but it is King Zhou, "the legacy of its intention." Judah see precious.

Mawangdui's Mrs. Xinchou, her ramie fabrics are indeed with "Han iron ...... stretching the silk of the device" ironed, fake. The book of Sui recorded Li Mu let his son Li Hun to the capital, took the iron as a token to the Sui emperor, said: "I would like to hold the authority to iron the world."

Indicates that he will not mutiny, it is estimated that this iron also has a scale, those inaccurate scale expressed as a ruler, you can measure the meaning of the world, is a kind of scepter. Taking such a thing, Gaozu was greatly pleased.

Today, the development of ironing is changing rapidly. Modern ironing basically does not use the original charcoal heating method, replaced by electric heating, steam heating.

Therefore, it is also known as electric iron and steam iron. The style is also varied.

4. How the iron has a history of development

Iron in China during the Han Dynasty has entered the family.

The iron in the Han and Wei Dynasties, cast in bronze, the shape of a round belly, wide mouth, with a long handle. Some irons also have the inscription "iron straight clothes".

Around the 16th century, Dutch tailors used large hollow box irons, which were heated by placing a red-hot iron plate through the door at the back, and in the 18th century, the most common was the solid iron, which was cast in iron, and people always alternated between two irons: one for ironing and the other for heating over a charcoal fire.

The electric iron originated in the United States, where Chadson developed the electric iron by converting electricity into heat, and in 1932, there was the adjustable temperature iron.

In 1953, the spray steam iron was introduced.

5. What is the historical record of the invention of the steam iron

By the mid-1920s, the average annual purchase of irons in the United States was more than 3 million, and the average price of these irons was $6.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the invention of the steam iron has been a major factor in the development of the electric iron.

So in 1926, when the first steam iron appeared in New York City department stores for $10, it was thought that this new product would not be as effective as it had been in the days when irons weighed 15 pounds and ironing was a physically demanding chore.

It's not a big deal, even though manufacturers tell people that the slow release of heat from the iron prevents clothes from being burned. For people who are careful enough not to burn their clothes, why spend an extra $4?

The steam iron was a commercial failure when it was first introduced. It wasn't until the 1940s, when a dizzying array of synthetic fabrics became available, that steam irons became widely accepted.

Synthetic fabrics were stain-resistant and stiff, but they melted like wax when exposed to dry heat. In the late 1940s, the housewares industry saw the outbreak of what became known as the "Holy War".

The first steam irons had a single vent, and in the 1940s the number of vents gradually increased to 2, 4, and then 8, making the vent a promotional gimmick. Westinghouse thought that if the 8-hole iron was good enough, then the 16-hole iron would be even more attractive.

Proctor & Sileks cautiously went up to 17 holes, and then Sunshine took the war to a new level with the 36-hole steam iron. Of course, the size of the exhaust holes became smaller and smaller as the number of holes increased.

Westinghouse seemed intent on setting the upper limit for the industry with the drilling technology of the 65 ?L O'Doo. However, Sears, who had their sights set on it, followed up with a 70-hole iron, and Presto didn't budge in bringing an 80-hole iron to the market.

With steam irons, people no longer burn their clothes, and even if the ironing surface doesn't drip, at least it's always moist, and the clothes don't stick to the iron anymore. Just like the plants, the clothes are sprayed with a mist of water.

The "water mist" then became a new promotional gimmick.

6. When did the iron appear

Iron has a long history, as late as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties in China on the iron, has been more than 2000 years of history. "Saying Wen" said: "ironing, from the upper press down also, from and hold. The fire from the tie also." This means iron. Liang Jianwendi "and Xu Lu Shushi to see the insiders to make bedding" also has "iron gold color, hairpin tube white teeth wrapped" records. The Book of Jin - Han Kang Bo biography: "mother party for the big dude, make Kang Bo catch iron, Kang Bo said: iron in the bucket, two handles are still hot." This shows that the use of ironing has been very common at that time.

Ironing began also with the evil history of King Zhou of Shang has some links. King Zhou was brutal and vicious, he had come up with a variety of ways to suppress the people, to curry favor with Daji, examining the "King of Huainan": "Cannon branding began in the bucket." The book also notes: "bucket, iron also. King Zhou saw the iron rotten manpower, so he made the punishment of cannon branding." The Sui Book also recorded: "Li Mu iron in the Gaozu said: I would like to use this iron peace in the world." It can be seen that the feudal rulers used the iron as a torture device to suppress the people, in order to consolidate the purpose of their rule. Ancient poets also have poems dedicated to ironing, the Ming Dynasty Qu You's "ironing bucket": "There are handles why ever pour wine syrup, at any time with the house belongs to the boudoir. The dry spinning heavenly Yang and gas, flat paste earthly embroidery fragrance. The green sleeves and rolled yarn are moved to the jade wrists, and the gold bonfire is near the bed of teeth. Clothes into a far away sent to the levies to go, when the seal of the elbow after yellow." On the one hand, the poem shows the poet's trust and hope, but also the status and role of the iron. With the progress of society, science and technology developed, the iron also has a great development, there are now temperature-controlled, steam-type, spray-type and other varieties of multi-style iron.
