Everyone thinks it was Whitcomb Judson who invented the zipper but it was really Elias Howe. Elias was so busy inventing the sewing machine that he didn't get around to selling his zipper invention which he called a "clothing closure". |
A zipper is a thingy that joins two pieces of material together. |
The zipper is
used everywhere, on clothing, pencil cases, boots and suitcases, wallets, and
a zillion other things.
How many can you think of?
Do you know the name of the tallest woman in the world?
