Hungary

On April 12, 1910, Margit Urbántsek of Budapest first patented a novel method for ornating piled fabrics. Her invention featured a socket-shaped iron that could be easily interchanged without tools or delay, allowing users to apply different patterns with speed, precision, and safety—unlike previous methods that required unscrewing hot components.

On February 1, 1909, the Princess of Belgium Stephani and the Countess of Lonyay Elemer, both living in Schloß Oroszvâr, Hungary, were awarded a patent for developing an innovative food warmer that would prevent fuel spills and protect the surface from excess heat.
