Tetra pak, bubble wrap and much more

Funner — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 14:59:17 +0000

In everyday life people around a lot of things about the origin of which we seldom think. It seems that they have always been, and yet even such a seemingly basic items like a pencil or a corkscrew, has its own history. From this release, you will learn about the origins of things such as cardboard packaging Tetra Pak, single or double reflective, preservation of products in glass and cans, and more.

Cartons Tetra Pak.

For a long time been a standard glass bottle, but improvements in the packaging industry in the U.S. in the 1940s inspired by Swedish businessman Ruben Rausinga to search for alternatives. He developed a method for producing sealed vessel made of a special board and zapakovki. The technology is called Tetra Pak – just called and waterproof cardboard. In the late 1960s, this became the standard packaging for storage of storable milk.

A carrier for six cans.

He became the answer to the question of how to simplify the portability of half a dozen cans of beer. Research Engineer of Illinois Tool Works named Jules Ougleza Poupitch received three patents for his inventions from 1959 to 1963. He was the first who saw the potential of plastic and used it to create a package with a minimum expenditure of effort and material

Single or double.

During the active development of road transport in the 1920s, the issue of road safety rose very sharply. Englishman Percy Shaw, inspired by the case of the reflection of light in the eyes of a cat headlight in 1934 created the first single or double, and called it a “Cat’s Eye.” His invention is used to this day, contributing to road safety and not wasting energy

Rubber band.

The rubber industry in the UK was founded by Thomas Hancock in the mid-nineteenth century. In the mid-1840s, working with his American counterpart, Charles Gudearom, Hancock discovered the effect of curing – the heated rubber with the addition of sulfur acquired a much more useful properties. Mr. Hancock patented process, and a year later one of the licensees, Steve Perry, used it to create a rubber band.

Glass jars.

Prior to the general electrification of houses and before the fruit and vegetables are available year-round, canned in glass jars was the most common way to store food. The company Weck, established January 1, 1900 became famous all over the world, due to the fact that the patented method of preservation. Now, when buyers are more concerned about natural products, conservation is undergoing a revival.

Tin.

The origin of tin goes back to the days of Napoleon. He needed a means of ensuring food supplies, which would not be spoiled for a long time, and he announced a competition for a solution to this problem. In 1809 Nicolas Appert offered to put food in airtight containers, after sterilizing them in boiling water. In 1810 a British merchant Peter Durand suggested that instead of glass to use metal containers, covered with tin, and King George III issued him a patent for this invention.

Pacifier.

Even in the sixteenth century, children were given sugar or other food, wrapped in cloth to soothe and distract. About 1900 took the form of dummy, which has been preserved until now: that is, the nipple shield (a child could not swallow it) and a pen. In the picture drawing nipples Breem Kelvin patented in 1959.

Pencil

First there were pencils in the sixteenth century, when Kumberlende, England, found deposits of graphite. It had been thought that this lead ore, but in 1779, Karl Wilhelm Schiele proved that it is carbon. Nicolas Jacques Conte developed a method proivzodstva pencils, buyout is still in use: graphite rod is baked in the oven, and is in a wooden sheath.

Corkscrew.

His story begins in the late eighteenth century. Wine stored in oak barrels, but in order to increase shelf life, it was poured into glass bottles and closed them tight stoppers. No one exactly knows who first invented the corkscrew, but the first patent issued in 1795, belongs to a British priest Samuel Henshellu. Today there are about 50 000 models and variations of spin.

Paper napkin.

It combines the two opposites, because there must be both soft and durable. The largest manufacturing companies are the Kleenex of the United States and Tempo of Germany. In Germany alone, every year there are about 40 billion napkins

Light bulb.

Thomas Edison and Sir Joseph Wilson Swan invented the light bulb almost simultaneously and independently from each other. Together, they created the company “Ediswan”. In the future construction of a light bulb is simplified, and this invention has simplified the lives of billions of people throughout the world.

The zipper.

This buckle is easy to use, but has a rather complex structure and function. The slider joins the teeth on either side – they have a convex top and concave bottom – so that they lie in a vertical row in a checkerboard pattern. To unzip, lifts the slider teeth so that they Release the. The Swede, Gideon Sandbek spent years improving the design.

Tray of eggs.

The idea of making trays of pressed fibrous material belongs to the American Martin Kizu. In the early twentieth century, he tried to press trays made of wood with steam. He soon realized that it is easier to use sawdust, which can be given any form. So he created a simple and inexpensive method of producing packaging material. Despite the fact that much has changed since the 1930s, cardboard trays of eggs were exactly the same.

Plaster.

To close small wounds and cuts, which appeared at his wife while working at home, American Earl Dixon gauze glued to the sticky tape. Soon the company Johnson & Johnson, where he worked Earle, started to produce his invention, called Band-Aid. In Germany, almost at the same time appeared on the market a product Hansaplast.

Bar code.

Today, international trade without a bar code can not do. On the initiative of IBM to enter the United States in 1973. The economy of the Earth’s universal adoption of bar code has become one of the largest voluntary agreements. Is considered the inventor, Norman Woodland, received a patent for it in 1952.

Tea bag.

The invention of tea bags was accidental. In the early twentieth century American merchant Thomas Sullivan transporting test samples of tea in small silk pouches, and one of the buyers are not emptying threw tea bag in boiling water. In 1913 two German businessman Eugen Nissl and Rudolph Anders registered the name “Teefix” for the muslin bags and tea. Tea bags of paper fibers were extended in 1930 when it became possible to seal them under the influence of temperature.

Bubble wrap.

In the late 1950s, engineers at Al Fielding and Marc Chavannes were experimenting with a new type of wallpaper with a textured plastic surface. During the trip Chavannes drew attention to “soft” clouds under the plane, the setting for landing, and it told him the idea of using air, enclosed in a plastic film for packaging.

Binder.

The mechanism of the folder has not changed since the invention of Friedrich Zonnekenom in 1886 and modified Lyayttsa Louis in 1896. Although now more and more documents stored in digital format, the folder remains an important tool and a symbol of the office. The caption on the photo translates to “Organize and find with a Leitz”
