READING COMPREHENSION.
Most of the fastening devices used in clothing today, like the shoelace, the button, and
the safely pin, have existed in some form in various cultures for thousands of years. But
the zipper was the brainchild of one American inventor, namely Whitcomb Judson of
Chicago. At the end of the 19th century, Judson was already a successful inventor, with
a dozen patents to his credit for mechanical items such as improvements to motors and
railroad braking systems.

He then turned his mind to creation a replacement for the lengthy shoelaces which were
then used in both men's and women's boots. On August 29th 1893, he won another
patent, for what he called the "clasp-locker". Though the prototype was somewhat
clumsy, and frequently jammed, it did work: in fact, Judson and his business associate
Lewis Walker had sewn the device into their own boots. Although Judson displayed his
clasp-locker at the World's Fair held in Chicago in 1893, the public largely ignored it. The
company founded by Judson and Walker, Universal Fastener, despite further
 2021. “Año de la Consumación de la Independencia y la Grandeza de México.”

refinements, never really succeeded in marketing the device.

The earliest zip fasteners were being used in the apparel industry by 1905, but it was
only in 1913, after a Swedish-American engineer, Gideon Sundbach, had remodeled
Judson's fastener into a more streamlined and reliable form, that the zipper was a
success. The US Army applied zippers to the clothing and gear of the troops of World
War ‡T. By the late 1920s, zippers could be found in all kinds of clothing, footwear, and
carrying cases; by the mid-1930s, zippers had even been embraced by the fashion
industry.

The term "zipper" was coined as onomatopoeia ( resembling the sound it makes ) by B.
F. Goodrich, whose company started marketing galoshes featuring the fastener in 1923.
Regrettably, Whitcomb Judson died in 1909, and never heard the term, or saw the
success by which his invention would become ubiquitous.
