Anton Ullrich
Johannes Anton Ullrich (1826–1895) was a German industrialist, inventor, and co-founder of the "Gebrüder Ullrich" in the Rhineland-Palatinate.
Life
Anton Ullrich was born on the 30 August 1826 in the small village of Maikammer, Germany. He was the youngest son of an international merchant, Leonhard Ullrich, and his wife Regina Damm. Anton Ullrich worked in his father's store, before founding the "Gebrüder Ullrich" with his younger brother Franz Ullrich. In 1851 Anton Ullrich invented the folding ruler, and in 1887 obtained the patent for the springed hinge of the folding ruler. The "Gebrüder Ullrich" company expanded quickly and later built another factory site in the neighbouring village of Kirrweiler.

gollark: I should probably automate laser drill interfacing whatsoever.
gollark: I doubt it. EIO's rather late. I'm just oddly obsessive about harvesting them from deserts.
gollark: It definitely won't entrap you in an inescapable hellscape of ductwork.
gollark: Oh yes, you should TOTALLY experience the GTech™ basement.
