  • Mary Florence Potts (nascuda Webber; 1 de novembre de 1850 - 24 de juny de 1922) era una dona de negocis americana i inventora. Va inventar planxes per a la roba amb mànecs de fusta separables que van ser exhibits a la Filadèlfia Exposition World's Fair de 1876 i Chicago World's Fair del 1893. Les seves invencions eren conegudes per tota Amèrica del Nord i el continent europeu al segle XX i van esdevenir les planxes de ferro més populars de les que mai s'han fet. Potts va rebre la seva primera patent sobre una millora de les planxes convencionals als 19 anys. La seva següent patent va ser una millora de l'anterior, afegint un mànec de fusta separable. Es va produir i vendre a través de l'American Machine Company com un kit de quatre peces amb parts intercanviables. Els seus productes es van distribuir també a través de Montgomery Ward i Sears, Roebuck and Company, i van ser fabricats fins a l'any 1951. (ca)
