Useful inventions that have come up with a woman (20 photos) Bashny.Net

How many times have I heard: women are not inventors, they can not organize knowledge, their strength elsewhere - in the emotions, feelings and so on. D! Even reaching applications: women do not have the scientific insight - the basis of all insights. I propose to read a list of very interesting inventions made by almost all women - objects of our everyday life, time, and without them life would be less convenient. This is the first invention, which, by the way, tried to assign a man. Reading?

1. Paper bag.


America got a new trend - a paper bag when the cotton mill worker Margaret Knight invented a machine to create a flat bottom at the stake in 1868. Initially looked like paper bags envelopes, Charles Annan (Enna) saw the invention Margaret tried to patent the idea. Knight sued and won the case in 1871.

2. Kevlar.


Lightweight, high-strength Kevlar - 5 times stronger than steel - can protect you from bullets. US DuPont chemist Stephanie Kwolek accidentally invented the material, while trying to improve (make it easier) fiber for reinforcing tires. The patent for the Kevlar she received in 1966.

This formula Kevlar:


3. Bin pedal.


Lillian Gilbreth improve the existing product, adding a small, brilliant detail. In the early 1900s she has designed for the inner shelf of the refrigerator, made more convenient can opener, and in fact, easier cleaning with a new trash can with pedal.

Elizabeth Magee created The Landlord's Game (from the English. «Landlord» - the landowner), to spread the economic theory Georgizma with the aim to tell (at the same time, and train) players about fraudulent land grabbing, the shortcomings and the need to rent the single land tax for landowners. Pretty interesting, is not it? Magee patented board game in 1904 and she also released it in 1906. About 30 years later, a man named Charles Darrow, a little remake the game, Parker Brothers resold it as "Monopoly." The company bought a patent Magee (the patent of the original game) for just $ 500 without paying royalties.

5. Windshield wipers ("wipers").


Drivers skeptical invention Mary Anderson first hand "wipers". They probably thought that go with the speed of turtles during rain or snow is safer than pulling a lever to clean the glass. Another woman inventor has created a computerized version of the janitors already in 1917, but its invention and has not been used. Eventually Mary Anderson patent has expired (in 1920). "Cadillac" was the first to install the windshield wipers on each machine, and then the rest of us followed suit.

6. Disposable diapers.


Marion Donovan is not particularly bother about changing diapers, after she patented a waterproof diaper in 1951. Waterproof diaper cover which was originally an ordinary shower curtain, first sold in only one store.

In 1952, an obstetrician-anesthesiologist Dr. Virginia Apgar start to check the status of newborns at 1 and 5 minutes after birth in order to reveal whether the children need special care. So there Apgar score. About 10 years later, the medical community has come up with a suitable backronym the word «Apgar» - Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, and Respiration (appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration), in order to remember that the main indicators.

11. Flares.


Once the connection between the ships was limited. It is carried out by means of colored flags, lights and loud screams. March Coston itself, of course, did not reach the creation of flares, she found a note that belonged to her husband. Koston for 10 years has worked with chemists and experimented in pyrotechnics to embody the idea of ​​her husband's true. Coston produced for the Navy around 1200000 missiles that it provided them at cost. She had to pay $ 120,000, of which it has received only 15,000, and, as she wrote in her autobiography, the navy refused to pay her the full amount due to the fact that she was a woman.

In 1813, she created a prototype that attach to his spinning wheel. Since Babbitt belonged to Protestant religious sect shaker, then because of the commandments of the community refused to patent it.

13. Leash roulette.


New yorkersha Mary A. Deleni patented his first invention in 1908. She hooked a leash to the collar and thus could control their dogs. Quite by accident, a RS O'Connor patented the first "leash" 11 years later. Coincidence? Probably.

Katherine Blodgett, the first woman scientist of General Electric, has found a way to transfer a thin monomolecular film on the surface of glass and metal in 1935. Result: non-glare glass and distortion. This gave rise to a new generation of cameras, microscopes, eyeglasses and more.

19. Computers.


Women in computer science have a role model - Grace Hopper. Together with Howard Aiken, they created a 5-ton, about the size of the room, Mark I computer in 1944. She invented the compiler, which transformed the team's written in native code. This meant that now programmers could write code more easily and with fewer errors. In 1959, Hopper was in the team that developed COBOL, one of the first modern programming languages.
