When is National Zipper Day?
Saturday April 29thNational Zipper Day is commemorated on April 29, 1913, the first zipper patent was issued on the modern zipper. The day honors something we often don't worry about and may take for granted.
The sewing machine's developer made the first attempt at sewing the zipper.. Elias Howe, an 1851 entrepreneur, received a patent for the "Automatic, Continuous Clothing Closure." However, Howe never promoted his invention and therefore received the accolade he may have received.
Whitcomb Judson introduced the "Clasp Locker" in Forty-two years ago. This device served as a more complicated hook-and-eye shoe fastener, similar to Elias Howe's patent. Judson founded the Universal Fastener Company, where he invented his first machine and debuted it at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. There was very little success in his first few attempts. Judson, on the other hand, earned a reputation as the country's best-invention because he brought his invention before the public for sale.
Gideon Sundback, a Swedish-American electrical engineer, was hired by the Universal Fastener Company in 1906. He was highly trained and well-known for his service to the company. He was well-known and well-known for his dedication to the company. On April 29, 1913, he was granted a patent for the modern zipper, also known as the "Separable Fastener" at the time. In 1917, He submitted revisions to his design. Today we wear patterns that are very similar to those that Sundback invented in his patent. Although he may have branded them a separable fastener, we know them as zippers.
By 1923, B.F. Goodrich popularized the word zipper as it was used in the boots and pouches it made. For a time, the company even copiedrighted the name for a time..
