The zip fastener was invented in Chicano in 1893 by Whitcomb Judson and in it early stage was more a hook-and-eye shoe fastener. Zip-fasteners did not come into general until the 1930s, when the zipper beat the button fly in the 1937, following the discovery that zippers made it easier for children to dress themselves. During that period they had campaigns praised zippers for promoting self-reliance in young. The first commercial production of zip-fasteners was when Whitcomb Judson started together with businessman Colonel Lewis Walker, the Universal Fastener Company to manufacture the new device. 2, record 7, English, - zipper

Such was the fate of trade-marks such as "Zipper, ""Escalator, ""Cellophane, "and "Dry Ice. "Who remembers that the correct terms are "slide fastener" and "moving staircase"? This is why some companies are very vigilant about policing their marks, and preventing improper use of their trade-marks in any kind of communication. 7, record 7, English, - zipper
