Zippers design

Origin

Most of the fastening elements used in textiles today, such as drinkers, buttons, laces and similar, have existed in some form through different cultures for thousands of years. The zipper or the zipper (German word) domesticated in our people is an invention of the American inventor Whitcomb Judson from Chicago from the end of the 19th century.

By the end of the 19th century, Judson was already a successful inventor, with a large number of patents in the field of mechanical engineering, for the needs of railway braking systems. He then turned to the development of an easily detachable patent that would be used to fasten on shoes. On August 29,1893, he patented an invention he called the clasp-locker.

Judson showed his clasp-locker at the Chicago Fair in 1893, but the public almost completely ignored him. The firm he founded with his partner Lewis Walker never actually achieved success in selling his patent.

It was not until 1913, after a Swedish-American engineer, Gideon Sundbach, remodeled Judson's patent that the zipper achieved success. The American army used it on uniforms in World War I, and later in 1920, zippers could be seen on various types of clothing and footwear

In the mid-1930s, zippers were introduced into the fashion industry. The name zipper originated as an onomatopoeia of the sound that is heard when it is opened or closed.
