Raj Dhadwal Engineer Inventor Builder ZIPPER INNOVATION (PATENT PENDING) INVENTED, PROTOTYPED & PATENTED A NEW ZIPPER SOLUTION FOR SPECIALIZED APPLICATIONS WHERE FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION MAXIMUM STRENGTH ZIPPER -Stronger construction -Simplified operation -Jamming resistant THE STORY While on a backpacking trip I experienced a failure in my zippers pull-tab which inspired me to bring my zipper invention to life. Built for maximum strength, I created a fail-proof solution that out performs the reliability of current zippers in the industry. ZIPPER PROTOTYPE VALIDATING THE IMPROVED PROPERTIES THROUGH A WORKING PROTOTYPE I built a working prototype by casting zipper teeth of molten pewter using a three-part silicon mold. I then presented it to the 2nd largest zipper manucturer in the world. We are currently collaborating to explore product developement for highvolume manufacturing to a global-sized market.
