Zipping It Up With The Google Zipper: What Is Google Zipper?

What Is Google Zipper

You know how Google loves honoring people by launching games or doodles on their names? For instance, Google came up with the Google Pepper Game on the occasion of Wilbur Scoville’s 151st birthday, and how the world-famous company came up with the Google Snake game on the occasion of its 19th birthday, as an ode to childhood memories.

So when I came across the Google Zipper, I simply couldn’t keep calm! The moment I landed on the home page of the same, I was pretty confused, considering there was a huge zipper running down across the middle of the page.

In fact, when I clicked on top of the logo, it actually zipped open – and not just that!

The same happened when I started pulling down the zipper on top of the logo – it was something new, fun, and innovative – I kept playing with the zipper for some time before I could understand anything about the game.

But why did Google invest time in designing an interactive zipper on its homepage?

Let’s find out!

Remembering Gideon Sundback: The Man Behind The Zipper!

Gideon Sundback

The whole zipper Google hack came into existence because Google decided to honor Gideon Sundback on his 132nd birthday. If the name Gideon Sundback is not ringing any bell, you will be surprised to know that this Swedish-American engineer (electrical) is responsible for developing the contemporary zipper. 

Sundback did not just create the modern zipper, but he is also known for discovering the manufacturing machine that made these zippers. In 1951, Sundback was given the Gold Award from the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences for his innovative discovery of the modern zipper as well as the manufacturing machine for the same.

Unzipping The Patent-Related Controversy

Yes, Gideon Sundback did discover the first modern zipper out there. Yes, he was also responsible for discovering the first manufacturing machine out there, but unfortunately, he wasn’t the first person to get the patent for the same.

Sundback started working with the Westinghouse Electric Company before accepting an offer from Whitcomb Judson. After becoming the head of design at Universal Fastener, Gideon came up with the Plako Fastener, the first zipper of sorts, when you think about it.

Considering the “bridge” technology, the Plako Fastener became the stepping stone to what eventually became the modern zipper. Unfortunately, however, the patent for the same was not under Gideon’s name.

It was Whitcomb Judson, whose name was on the patent for the Plako Fastener. This is because, during this time, the patent was mostly under the founder’s name.

But Gideon didn’t stop working on his design, and by 1913, he had already come up with the modern version of the zipper. So this time, he did get the patent for the same under the name of the Hookless No. 2.
