Velcro
George de Mestral
Swiss electrical engineer George de Mestral invented his first touch fastener when, in 1941, he went for a walk in the woods and wondered why Burdock seeds clung to his coat and dog. He discovered it could be turned into something useful.[2] He patented it in 1955 and subsequently refined and developed its practical manufacture until its commercial introduction in the late 1950s.
