Zippers are fastening devices commonly used in clothing, luggage, and various textiles, invented by Whitcomb Judson in 1893 but popularized by Gideon Sundback in 1913 with an improved design. They consist of two strips of fabric tape, each with a row of metal or plastic teeth that interlock when a slider moves up and down. The YKK Group, a Japanese company, is one of the largest and most well-known manufacturers of zippers globally.
