Who designed the zipper fastener?
The ZIP FASTENER was invented in Chicano in 1893 by Whitcomb Judson and in it early stage was more a hook-and-eye shoe fastener. Zip-fasteners did not come into general until the 1930s, when the zipper beat the button fly in the 1937, following the discovery that zippers made it easier for children to dress themselves. During that period they had campaigns praised zippers for promoting self-reliance in young. The first commercial production of zip-fasteners was when Whitcomb Judson started together with businessman Colonel Lewis Walker, the Universal Fastener Company to manufacture the new device. B.F. Goodrich
Who invented zippers?
As for who invented the zipper, not everybody agrees. Most people give credit to American Whitcomb Judson. Originally, Judson intended his creation, which he called the "clasp-locker," as a replacement for shoelaces. It didn't quite manage to do that, but, after a series of refinements (it jammed quite a bit early on), the zipper became a hit. The US Army was an early adopter, applying "zippers to the clothing and gear of the troops of World War I."Some sources say it was Gideon Sundback but, nobody knows for sure.

Was a zipper invented by accident?
AT A GLANCE:The design used today, based on interlocking teeth, was invented by an employee of Whitcomb Judson's, Swedish born scientist Gideon Sundback. In 1913 and patented as the "Hookless Fastener" and after more improvements patented in 1917 as the "Separable Fastener". Only after Gideon Sundbach, had remodeled Judson's fastener into a more streamlined and reliable form, was the fastener a success. THE STORYRELATED INFOBOOKSWEB SITESHOW IT WORKSDID YOU KNOW?

What would you use a zip code map for?
You could use a zip code map to figure out what zip codes are around yours, or to figure out zip code boundaries. It can be helpful when organizing mass mailings to have an idea of where one zip code ends and another begins.
When was the zip invented?
1893TRAVELLING salesman and part-time inventor Whitcomb L. Judson lodged his patent for "shoe fasteners" in 1893. Truly a revolutionary form of fastening, and it was recognised as such by the Patent Office examiner. But despite that, patent number 504,038 was hardly contested ground. Had it not been for the magnificent sales pitch of Judson's fellow commercial traveller Harry Earle (of the Osborne Machine Co., New York), Judson's early zippers would have vanished into obscurity. But it was the involvement of Lewis Walker, a lawyer and businessman from Meadville, Pennsylvania, that galvanised the development of the zipper. By 1905 he had renamed his company "The Automatic Hook and Eye Company," and introduced the "C-Curity Fastner" to a feminine market Judson had not considered. In 1906, a Swede named Peter Aronson took over the operation, and the "C-Curity" became "The Plako" (as in placket). Aronson attempted to market the Plako in France (as "le Ferme Tout"), and another Swede, Gideon Sundback joined the little company. Sundback is the true hero of the zip; the engineer who developed the fastener into what we know as the modern zip. By 1914 he had developed what the company insisted on calling "The Hookless Hooker," and under the name "Hookless #2" this design attained remarkable commercial success. It was used predominantly for money belts, gloves, and tobacco pouches. The Hookless fastener only became known as "The Zipper" in 1922, 29 years after its invention by Judson. Robert Friedel's book "Zipper: an Exploration in Novelty" (1995?) gives a far more detailed account of the zip's history and cultural significance. Daniel Cox, undergraduate English Literature Student, University of Reading, Berks. (lnucoxdj@reading.ac.uk)THE zip didn't take off until 1918 when the US navy realised that it would make an excellent fastener for flying suits. The name zipper was coined in 1926, and has since been shortened to zip in the UK. Nicola Baxter, Redland, Bristol.The invention of the zipper? I'd love to have been a fly on the wall...... Jonathan Pearlman, Melbourne AustraliaThe story my grandfather (fathers side) tells is that one of my ancestors invented the zip for his wife to help do up her dress. His partner apparently stole his idea and patened it. Anyone who doesn't believe me should know that my grandfather only lies when he is being polite e.g. 'you look nice in this dress.'
