Zipper's invented is in order to save time
US mechanical engineer Witkang Jadson is the original inventor of the zipper. Once, he was anxious to go out to attend a banquet, but buckle in a long boots on more than 20 buttons have been tired back pain, rush also buckle the wrong buttonhole, had to untie the buckle. Such a toss, when he arrived at the venue has been late, he had to apologize to a friend.
Judson's heart at home in the toss of the heart, decided to invent a new button to save the time spent on the above. One day, he passed a family courtyard, the dog tied to the yard mouth barking to him, he saw the dogs mouth staggered canine teeth inspiration, if the buttons on the boots replaced by alternating canines, not to All the buttons together? He quickly designed the first "zipper" in human history.
This "zipper" consists of two chains, each with a staggered dentate hook and link. Judson named his invention "movable button", and applied for a patent, also installed in the boots. In 1893, he took his own patent to attend the Chicago Expo, hoping to find a commercial breakthrough, but no one to buy his account, because the invention needs to hand-made, high cost, and quality is not stable enough. Until he passed away, "mobile buttons" has not been a major breakthrough, the company also bleak Jadson business, failed to obtain commercial profits.
However, the "zipper" improvement did not end with the death of Judson. Immigrant from Sweden Sempeck continues to try to commercialize while improving the "zipper" process. This time, Senbeck was inspired by the iron spoon.
He went to a shop to buy iron spoon, the owner of the store to store a variety of items are very neat, especially the iron spoon placed very clever, the top of the spoon handle hanging on the iron bar, the following Of the line is spoon bucket in the above, and the top line of the bucket bucket together to form a staggered layout. Senbeck selected the following iron spoon, pulled the next did not even pull down.
This inspired Senbeck, he proposed by the "teeth, pull the nose and bag" three parts to form a "zipper" of the new ideas. He put the "zipper" shape into a bucket bucket shape, the top was convex, the end concave, a sliding device can slide the left and right "teeth" mosaic, and then slide back to separate.
People are now common zipper was born, Senbeck began mass production of Zippers, and lobbying department store zipper on clothes. However, due to poor quality of the zipper before, to leave the bad impression has not been eliminated, Sunbeck did not receive much orders. Until the military because the zipper allows soldiers to save clothing speed and a large number of orders, zipper spring arrival, and gradually to the world.
However, the zipper has the current name, but also until 1923, when a company to sell their own boots with zippers, would like to give it an image of the name. Because this kind of boots just pull can be worn or off, very convenient. At the time, the manager's brain hole opened, and the thought of "Zip", the onomatopoeic word - the fast-moving sound of objects, named the boots Zipper boots. Later, "zipper" has become all the similar products without hooks, the general term, and has been applied to the present.
