In 1983, Whitcomb Judson patented the first zipper, a complicated hook-and-eye design that was very unpopular; most people had never heard of it. It was called the "clasp-locker and unlocker for shoes." Approximately 20 years later, another man, by the name of Gideon Sundback, improved the little-known fastener to the modern day zipper.
