We can thank Mr. Fredrick M. Jones for many of his inventions, including the ticket dispensing machine, starter generators, thermostat controls and the list goes on.
However the invention we'd like to focus on is the air condition unit he patented for vehicles to safely transport perishable food. This brilliant concept that America's food industry still thrives off of was designed in 1935 and was later patented on July 12, 1950. His invention made transporting perishable foods possible and later became a $3 million dollar business, known as Thermo King Corporation by 1949.
We don't think it's necessary to explain the importance of a portable air conditioning unit, but just in case you are not aware, here is why Jones' invention was a golden idea. In addition to transporting perishable food in America, Jones' idea made it possible to preserve blood, food and medicine during the war at hospitals. His invention not only saved our tummies, but it actually saves lives. What's more important than that?
Moral of the story, one simple idea that is is created based on the need of consumers could expand into a million dollar business or more importantly it can save lives.
