First pinball with flipper bumpers (later shorted to just flippers) was 'Humpty Dumpty' by Gottlieb in October 1947. Operators started adding flippers to earlier tables without flippers as they were considered out of date by 1948.

How do you use the flippers in pinball?

Why is it called pinball?
Originally, pinball machines didn't have flippers (the things at the bottom of the machine that hit the ball). Instead, you would launch a ball into a playfield full of pins and hope for it to land in a hole (like plinko). These pins made the game called "Pinball".The earliest pinball machines were a wooden playfeild with multiple holes and pins in the board. A ball was dropped at one end and it would bounce on the pins and hopefully fall in the higher scoring holes. This was before electronics, bumpers and flippers.
