The parking meter
The parking meter was invented by Carl C. Magee, who patented his design in 1935. Magee's invention aimed to alleviate traffic congestion in urban areas by metering parking spaces and encouraging turnover of vehicles. His design revolutionized parking enforcement and management in cities around the world.
The parking meter was originally invented by Carlton Cole Magee, the head of Oklahoma City's Chamber of Commerce, in response to growing parking congestion. Magee filed for a patent for a "coin controlled parking meter"on 13 May 1935. He then formed the Magee-Hale Park-O-Meter Company to manufacture his invention. The first parking meter in the world was installed in Oklahoma City, USA, on 19 July 1935. It is estimated that there are now over five million parking meters in the USA. England received its first parking meter some 22 years later, on 10 July 1958. In all, 625 parking meters were installed in England that day.

You should contact the transportation department for the city where the parking meter is located. They will be able to transfer you to the parking authority, who should have the keys to the parking meter.
If the meter is broken you are not supposed to park there.... you can get a ticket for parking at a defected meter.
He didn't invent it. He didn't invent anything.
