MUMBAI, India, July 11 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511059539 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on June 21, for 'an iron powered by kerosene for energy efficiency.'
Inventor(s) include Rishabh Chaudhary; Kumar Pal Jain; Dr. Navneet Kaur; Dr. Om Prakash Sahu; Dr. Jatinder Kaur; Mrs. Sonia Bajaj; and Dr. Kamlesh Kumari.
The application for the patent was published on July 11, under issue no. 28/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention introduces a hybrid kerosene-electric iron, designed for both convenience and efficiency. The iron integrates a dual power system, allowing users to switch between kerosene and electricity based on availability. A combustion chamber efficiently burns kerosene, while an electric heating coil provides an alternative power source. The thermostat heat controller ensures precise temperature regulation, enhancing fabric safety. Key features include a leak-proof fuel tank, ventilation openings for proper airflow, and an ergonomically designed heat-resistant handle for user comfort. The clear soleplate ensures even heat distribution, improving ironing performance. Unlike traditional coal or electric irons, this model offers greater portability, energy efficiency, and cost savings, making it ideal for rural areas, travelers, and emergency use. By reducing electricity dependency and providing a safer alternative to coal-based irons, this innovation promotes both economic and environmental sustainability, addressing modern energy challenges effectively."
