Main event
Gideon Sundbek patented the zipper closure
April 29, 1913
The first prototype of the "zipper" was created by the American W. Jadson in 1893, but his device was difficult to manufacture and very unreliable in the work. After many complaints, being on the verge of bankruptcy, Judson took partners who were attracted to the works of an American engineer of Swedish origin Gideon Sundbek.
After several years of searching, Sundbek has developed a new version of "zipper" and the technology of its production. The wonder invention of Sundbek consisted of two textile ribbons, on which metal elements were staggered. The connection or disconnection of the halves was carried out by means of a lock (slider) sliding on the ribbons.
The introduction of a new version of the buckle was more long and painful than the very development of the "zipper" because of distrust from the manufacturers who remembered the first unfortunate experience.
Over time, the "zipper" proved its reliability and manufacturability, and by 1923 it became widespread.
