when was the zipper for clothes invented
Detachable parts of garments can be attached with zippers and zippers can also be used as decoration (without practical use, just a detail on the clothes). Like many inventions, zipper is also the result of series of ideas by many inventors. It all started with Elias Howe who invented the sewing machine. He received a patent in 1851 for an Automatic, Continuous Clothing Closure.
