What did Garrett Morgan invent?

Garrett Morgan (U.S.A.) was an inventor and businessman from Cleveland who is best known for inventing a device called the Morgan Safety Hood and the gas mask in 1914. In 1923 he patented a traffic signal. I believe he also had a patent on a kind of sewing machine.

Despite what some people may try to tell you, he did not "invent the traffic signal" ... he patented one kind of traffic signal; it wasn't the first, nor was it remarkably better than the many others that were being developed by many other people around the same time, and to the best of my knowledge no city ever actually used it.

It's common for the traffic light myth to be trotted out during Black History Month, and it's unfortunate, because he really does deserve wider recognition for the safety hood that he not only developed but personally used in a heroic rescue of workers digging a water intake tunnel after a gas explosion and fire trapped them in there and killed the first people who tried to rescue them.

1. Born in Paris, Kentucky, on March 4, 1877, Garrett Morgan was the seventh of 11 children. His mother, Elizabeth (Reed) Morgan, was of Indian and African descent, and the daughter of a Baptist minister. It is uncertain whether Morgan's father was Confederate Colonel John Hunt Morgan or Sydney Morgan, a former slave freed in 1863.

2.When Morgan was in his mid teens, he moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, to look for work, and found it as a handyman to a wealthy landowner. Although he only completed an elementary school education, Morgan was able to pay for more lessons from a private tutor. But jobs at several sewing-machine factories were to soon capture his imagination and determine his future. Learning the inner workings of the machines and how to fix them, Morgan obtained a patent for an improved sewing machine and opened his own repair business.
