Thermostatic Electric Iron
The electric flat-iron already published has one state: on. Leave it plugged in and it keeps getting hotter until something scorches - the user is the thermostat. The rung above it puts the Butz idea, a bimetallic strip, inside the iron: the iron holds whatever temperature the dial asks for, and silk and linen each get their own.
**US 2,723,336**, "Thermostatically controlled electric flatiron or the like", Swenson and Finlayson, assigned to General Electric, filed 23. July 1953, granted 8. November 1955.
**You build the thermostat, not the mains appliance**: a bimetallic strip switching a battery-powered lamp, measured on a hotplate - then you measure a real iron's cycling from the outside.

Clamp one end of the bimetallic strip. Set a screw or a stiff wire as the contact so the free end presses it at room temperature. Wire strip and contact in series with the LED, its resistor and the battery holder: the lamp is on while they touch.

Turn the contact screw in by half a turn so the strip must bend further, and repeat. That screw is the iron's fabric dial.

History & Context
History & Context
**What the patent specifies:** a flatiron whose heating element is switched by a thermostat set from a fabric dial, holding the soleplate at the chosen temperature. **Modern build (derived):** the bimetal switch alone, on safe low voltage, plus outside measurements of a working iron.
The same bimetal switch went into kettles, ovens, toasters and motor overload protectors. Its limits: the strip switches over a few degrees of swing, it ages with cycling, and it senses its own temperature - not the cloth's.
