Hugh Moore was born in Kansas, USA. Before entering Harvard University in 1907, he was an ordinary student who had nothing to do with invention. And he finally invented the paper cup because of his younger brother as an inventor. When Hugh Moore first entered college, his brother Lawrence, who was one year older than him, became famous after inventing a pure water vending machine.
However, there were some problems with my brother's invention. The fragile ceramic cup used in the purified water vending machine was the problem. For this, my elder brother was very troubled. In the beginning, this kind of vending machine, which was popular for new ideas, gradually fell in popularity, and finally no one heard of it. Seeing his brother who was increasingly depressed because of this, Hugh Moore naturally thought of helping his brother solve the problem.
"If the disadvantage of ceramic cups is that they are fragile, can't the use of non-breakable cups solve the problem?...".
This method is really simple. However, this is just easy to think of, and the research process to turn ideas into reality is not easy. "What's the thing that won't break? Paper, yes, it's paper. It would be great if paper can be made into a cup. It's light, and it won't break...".
"But the paper will shatter if it is soaked in water. How can the shattered paper be kept from shattering?" Finally, he finally succeeded in finding paper that is not easily wetted by water.
Hugh Moore left the university after inventing a paper cup that was not soaked in water. The pure water vending machine invented by my brother was re-installed in various places, and the ceramic cup in the vending machine was replaced with a paper cup invented by himself.
The paper cup invented by Hugh Moore was officially launched with the sign of convenience and safety. For ordinary people, the image of paper cups as sanitary cups is beginning to be recognized. In the beginning, only a few curious consumers bought paper cups, and the consumption layer gradually expanded.
At this moment, the sky was willing to help the caring people, and Hugh Moore ushered in a huge surprise. Dr. Crumbin, who was devoted to research at the Institute of Civil Health, published the results of the research, which once again proved that Hugh Moore's paper cup is a great invention.
The study emphasized that there is only one way to rescue humans from the virus, and that is to use disposable paper cups. After that, the paper cup received huge praise and was favored by people.
