Only the terminally dishevelled escape the chore of ironing. For everyone else, listening to the radio can make the drudgery of heat-assisted garment flattening more bearable. That doesn鈥檛 mean combining these two old inventions鈥攖he electric iron and the radio鈥攊s patentable, but Ruben Jones of Toledo, Ohio, is going to try (WO 0209327). Jones鈥檚 iron combines 鈥渟tandard radio components鈥� with the body of an electric iron and a telescopic aerial on the side. As with all pending applications, anyone who thinks they can prove the idea is not as new as claimed can send evidence to the patent office handling the application.
