What are facts about Whitcomb Judson?
Whitcomb L Judson was born in March in the year 1839 in Illinois. Mr. Judson attended Knox College in Illinois. He was there to become an engineer. In his earlier Elementary and Middle School days, he did not enjoy school. In fact, he had a hard time in it. Now, let's go up to his older days again. His spouse was Annie. He had three children: Gertrude, Ross and Jane. He then invented the "clasp-locker", which is now known as the zipper. He did so in 1893. Why did he invent it? Well, it was to go on shoes because he wanted to "save" people from unbuttoning and buttoning their shoes. Yes, I know, I know, zippers aren't on shoes! They are on jackets, pants, and other stuff. But this is way back in the 1800's. When Mr. Judson first presented his invention at the Chicago World's Fair, the public largely ignored it. Yet, it is so popular now! Mr. Judson's nationality is American. Unfortunately, he died before his invention was well-known and useful. In 1913, Swedish-American engineer Gideon Sundback improved the zipper.
What year was the first zipper made?
Talon Zipper was a company founded in 1893, originally as the Universal Fastener Company, in Chicago. They later moved to Hoboken, New Jersey, and finally to Meadville, Pennsylvania. It was in Meadville that the zipper as we know it was invented, until then they were producing hookless fasteners for boots and shoes. Here, the zipper was mass produced beginning in the 1920s.
Who invented the zip in 1914?
It was Gideon Sundback in 1913. Elias Howe received a patent in 1851 for an 'Automatic, Continuous Clothing Closure.' However, Elias did not pursue marketing his clothing closure. As a result, Howe missed his chance to become the recognized 'Father of the Zip.' Mr. Whitcomb Judson, in 1893, marketed a 'Clasp Locker'; a device similar to the 1851 Howe patent. Being first to market gave Whitcomb the credit of being the 'Inventor of the Zipper', However, his 1893 patent did not use the word zipper. The Chicago inventor's 'Clasp Locker' was a complicated hook-and-eye shoe fastener. Together with businessman Colonel Lewis Walker, Whitcomb launched the Universal Fastener Company to manufacture the new device. The clasp locker had its public debut at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and met with little commercial success. Swedish-born (who later immigrated to Canada), Gideon Sundback, an electrical engineer, was hired to work for the Universal Fastener Company. Good design skills and a marriage to the plant-manager's daughter Elvira Aronson led Sundback to the position of head designer at Universal. He was responsible for improving the far from perfect 'Judson C-curity Fastener.' Unfortunately, Sundback's wife died in 1911. The grieving husband busied himself at the design table and by December of 1913, he had designed the modern zipper. Gideon Sundback increased the number of fastening elements from four per inch to ten or eleven, had two facing-rows of teeth that pulled into a single piece by the slider, and increased the opening for the teeth guided by the slider. The patent for the 'Separable Fastener' was issued in 1917. Sundback also created the manufacturing machine for the new zipper. The 'S-L' or scrapless machine took a special Y-shaped wire and cut scoops from it, then punched the scoop dimple and nib, and clamped each scoop on a cloth tape to produce a continuous zipper chain. Within the first year of operation, Sundback's zipper-making machinery was producing a few hundred feet of fastener per day.
