Elijah McCoy (1843-1929), an African-Canadian inventor.
Elijah McCoy is a famous African American inventor. His first major invention was a lubrication for oiling the engines of locomotives and steamboats which he patented in July of 1872. He has obtained about 57 patents, all relating to lubricants, but also invented the folding ironing board and the lawn sprinkler. He is also associated with the saying, "the real McCoy", meaning, "the real thing", because railroad workers would inquire if their locomotive was fitted with "the real McCoy" rather than some inferior copy.
Elijah McCoy is famous because he made a device that allowed machines to be lubricated while they were still in operation.

Joseph H. Smith was an African American born into slavery who invented an improved version of the lawn sprinkler. He was not the first person to invent and patent the lawn sprinkler, but his sprinkler patents improved on the original idea. After creating his first sprinkler, he continued to improve it and patented a second version.
