ANTON JAMNIK (1862–1942) was an inventor, creator, carver, drawer, artisan, photographer, watchmaker, musician and versatile master craftsman. All of this defines this persevering improver and creator of a wide variety of items: a wooden camera, microscope, drilling machine, grinder for making a clock mechanism, photographic equipment and musical instruments (whistles, violins, harmoniums, harps). He made a device for making noodles, an apple peeler and a collapsible lamp. For clockmakers he produced a device for cutting the round glass covers and their polishing, setting the tension on a watch spring and for measuring. Still preserved is a little chain carved from a single piece of wood, and a brain teaser game he thought up himself. He repaired church clocks in bell towers and was a whistle and recorder teacher.
He himself played the harmonium, harp, violin, hammered dulcimer and penny whistle. He pursued drawing and photography, which to the present day have stood as an important historical and ethnological document of his age. Many of his ideas have been preserved in sketches.
Patent: device for circulating lubrication (1933).
Creativity, like innovation, is an important driver of economic and social development. For this reason, Slovenia’s Intellectual Property Office combines its core mission of protecting intellectual property rights with efforts to preserve and disseminate knowledge of Slovenia’s technical heritage. It has therefore decided to highlight the achievements of a number of Slovene inventors who obtained patents for their inventions and left a profound mark on Slovene science, helping to create Slovenia’s technical heritage with inventions that are known around the world.
