The origin of glass cans dates back to Napoleon

Recently, the Vitra Design Museum, located on the border between Germany and Switzerland, is carrying out an ingenious design exhibition called "Hidden heroes: The genius of everyday things".

The theme of this exhibition is the basic things that we will use in everyday life, but that we will not notice at all. Although these products have changed our lives and established many standards of use, we have almost no idea what these products are all about. In the exhibition, these "heroic" products and their patented drawings and inventors are presented through historical pictures and videos of historical significance, and other products or artwork designs based on these daily products will also be designed. Also shown, let us suddenly see the interesting and refined side of seemingly boring and trivial everyday life. “They are the products that every designer dreams of wanting to design—very simple but extremely sophisticated everyday products,” said Jochen Eisenbrand, the director of the exhibition. “They have been there for over a hundred years and they don’t look like it.” How much change, because they do not need."

Pastor Samuel Henshall was not a fortunate man. In the late 18th century, he had lost his reputation for drinking at the University of Oxford. His academic career was thus terminated. After that, he had to find a new job in the church due to his livelihood. He was still alcoholic, once he was even taken to court by a winery because the priest owed £420 to this winery – which was a huge drink at the time.

But his alcoholism is not entirely a bad thing, because it inspired Mr. Henshall's inspiration and gave him the only success in his life. He invented an exquisitely detached cork from a red wine bottle. Tool - Opener, this invention was patented by an artisan Matthew Boulton in 1975. Although many people think that Henshall only plagiarizes someone else's invention, Pastor Samuel Henshall is still because of the earliest bottle opener design. In history, many of his early prototypes were preserved. “The innovation of Pastor Henshall lies in the fact that he puts an iron plate between the spiral cone and the handle and becomes the clockwise rotation method now familiar to everyone.”

Like the unfortunate Henshall priest, many of the products in the exhibition were created by amateur inventors. Glass cans, for example, were the predecessor of tin cans and were designed in 1809 by a Parisian chef, Nicolas Appert. At the time, Napoleon organized a bid for military food in France. Nicolas Appert successfully won this design. Another design was a Drying Rack: When Albert J. Parkhouse returned to work at a lampshade factory in Michigan in 1903, he found all the clothes hooks were full in the locker room because he was late, so he took advantage of some The wire was bent into a hooked triangle hanger.
