History cannot name the exact date when the commercials were designed, but many give the championship to the Belgian inventor Jean-Joseph Merlin.

This made an enchanting impression on the guests, but he made an even greater effect when he could not brake in time and crashed into a huge mirror, which cost a lot of money.
In 1819, in France, a man by the name of Ptiblet was the first to patent the commercials. Its structure was a wooden platform with three wheels, and this structure was fixed with leather straps. The rollers were made of iron, wood or ivory. "Petibledy" began to quickly gain popularity, and everyone wanted to get hold of them for use.
