Manuel Jalon Corominas was born in Logroño. He studied aeronautical engineering and was an officer of the Air Force. Jalon is famous as the inventor of the mop. In its first release in 1956 he used a broomstick, a set of strips of cotton and a bucket with pedal-driven rollers to drain. Shortly thereafter, the latter would be replaced by a funnel full of holes, resulting in the mop know today.
Another of the most important inventions of Jalon is the two piece disposable syringe, which replaced the one made of glass which had to be boiled for reuse.
