Did h.a Jackson invent the kitchen table?

Answer 1

No, H.A. Jackson did not invent the kitchen table. The concept of a table for preparing and serving food has been around for centuries, with various designs and materials used throughout history. The modern kitchen table has evolved over time to meet the needs of households for dining and food preparation.

Answer 2

No. On October 6, 1896 Henry A. Jackson, an African American cabinetmaker, was granted Patent #569135 by the U.S. Patent Office for his unique design for a kitchen table adapted for use in small rooms. It had pull-out shelves and cutting boards, which slid back into the table when not in use, and had storage underneath. Some have misrepresented his patent as "inventing the kitchen table", which is not a claim he made. However, his unique, compact table design was certainly "inventive" in 1896.

Answer 3

He didn´t invet it, he just patented it.
