Whitcomb Judson invented the ZIPPER! Only he called it the clasp-fastener. It was renamed the zipper later. He also made several unsuccessful attempts to develop street-cars run on compressed air.
The projector (kinetoscope) was invented in 1893
The zipper was invented by Whitcomb Judson in 1893. He originally called it the "clasp locker," and it was initially designed for use in shoes. Judson's design was later improved upon by Gideon Sundback in the early 1900s, leading to the modern zipper we use today.
Whitcomb L. Judson is best known for inventing the zipper in 1893. The invention revolutionized the way clothing fastenings worked, providing a simple and effective alternative to buttons and hooks.
The modern zipper was invented by Whitcomb Judson, an American inventor, in 1893. He initially patented a "clasp locker" designed for shoes, but it was not widely successful. The design was later improved by Gideon Sundback in the early 1900s, who developed the more functional version of the zipper we use today, with a patent granted in 1917.
The inventor of the zipper is Whitcomb Judson, who patented the device in 1893 as a "clasp-locker" for shoes. However, it was Gideon Sundback who refined and improved the design to create the modern zipper that we use today.
Whitcomb Judson invented a metal zipper with locking teeth in 1890. He patented the device in 1893 and exhibited it at the Chicago World's Fair the same year. Unfortunately, it did not catch on until after his death when it was improved upon by a Swedish-American engineer, Gideon Sundbach.
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.
