The Person Who Invented Velcro
|
||||
| After a nature walk with his dog the velcro inventor found seed burrs stuck to his dog's fur and even to
his own clothing. He set out to discover the basics of this ferocious sticking power and
ended that journey with a hook and loop fastener that we now know as velcro. The original velcro invention was trademarked with the name velcro as a combination of the words velour and crochet. "Hook and loop" tape is the generic name. |

But who cares what the velcro inventor called it? It is a wonderful invention and there are lots of home storage ideas for velcro tape and other forms of this handy fastener.
The person who invented velcro just wanted to create a fastener to compete with the zipper, but his invention has so many other uses where a zipper application would be impossible.
Here are a few home storage ideas the person who invented velcro would never have thought of!
The person who invented velcro is George de Mestral and he patented his invention in 1955. I am sure had no idea how many great home storage ideas would come from his invention. All he really wanted to do was invent an alternative to the zipper.
