Whitcomb L. Judson, born in Chicago, Illinois in March 1844 who was an American inventor and was the one who came up with the idea of the "Clasp Locker" which was what it was called in his day but now, we call it the zipper. the clasp locker was a complicated hook and eye fastener that would be "guided" along to close and open different types of clothing items.
In 1913, Whitcombs model of the zipper was improved by a swedish-american engineer, Gideon Sundback and Catharina Kuhn-moos of europe. Sundback he improved it by redesigning it into a more reliable form called the Talon.
