However even when Whitcomb 's reasons were good, his inventions presented many problems that not only he would suffer but others who help him in the journey to market an invention that not just would revolutionize the cloth but would change the simplicity of the …show more content…
After some improvement Sundback patented another version of his first patent whom he called “separable Fastener” in 1917 . The invention work efficiently, the two sides of the zipper are offset by a half a tooth 's height, making the two sides brought together then the dimple of a tooth on one side engages with the nib of the other side causing both sides to interlock each other. The zipper had become more successful after Gideon reinventing the idea of Whitcombs into a more streamlined and reliable form.
Surpassing the struggle of redesigning an invention was not an easy task to achieve neither the problems that would come. The next step in the evolution of the zipper is the marketing, the zipper was a success in the US army being the main consumer of the zippers for soldiers’ cloth and gear during WW1. The problem with the zipper was to change people 's perspective, leading to people not showing many interest in the zipper.
