This goes back to a century ago. In some places in central Europe, people first tried to replace buttons and bows with hook and loop, and the prototype of zipper came into being. This invention was first applied to the army, and was not known to the general public until 1930. But it has been a long time since the zipper was originally designed.
1893, an American named Judson developed a device and applied for a patent. This device is used in boots to replace those buttons, but it is always unpopular because of its poor quality and often bursts at inappropriate times. 19 12 years, Judson employee Sen Debacker modified it, so this device got the new name zipper.
The real time to make zippers widely used came from an accidental plane crash. A pilot dropped a button on his coat and rolled into the engine of the plane, causing an accident. This incident led them to decide not to fasten buttons on their flight suits, but to enter the historical stage with zippers.
It can be seen that an invention that can change mankind needs to go through many twists and turns, and there are still some luck factors. But it must be said that zipper is really one of the top ten inventions that facilitate people's lives in modern times. What other ingenious inventions have changed people's lives?
