Key to Links for Patent Information

USPTO = U.S. Patent Office . Images of the actual patent can be viewed on the U.S. Patent Office web site but a special TIFF viewer must be installed with your browser in order properly work. More information on how to configure your computer to view these patents can be found at TIFF image Viewers for Patent Images.
DATAMP = Directory of American Tool And Machinery Patents . A sister site to VintageMachinery.org with information on patents related to machinery and tools. A much easier user interface than the USPTO's for finding information on machinery patents.

Patent Number	Date	Title	Name	City	Description
798,519	Aug. 29, 1905	Adjustable band-saw	Edward Tiers Manning	Knoxville, TN	"The present invention relates to band-saws where the frame carrying the saw-blade is adjustable, so as to set the saw at different oblique positions in order to adapt it to cut bevels and any desired angles. It is desirable where the saw-blade is adjustable in this way that the work-supporting table through which the saw passes should also be adjustable to follow the different positions of the saw; and the present invention relates specifically to means for effecting the adjustment of the saw-carrying frame and also to means for automatically effecting an adjustment of the table to correspond with the different positions of the saw."
984,780	Feb. 21, 1911	Alarm feed-regulator and speed-indicator	Arthur Savage	Knoxville, TN	"This invention relates to feed regulators and more particularly to a combined feed regulator and alarm especially designed for attachment to flour mills and similar machinery for controlling the flow of grain to the mill..." The alarm sounds when the flow of grain is interrupted.
1,095,233	May. 05, 1914	Woodworking-machines	Daniel M. Rose	Knoxville, TN	We know the manufacturing history of this patent due to a US Board of Tax Appeals proceeding from 1931, following the death of the inventor in 1926. He invented this end matcher and arranged to have in manufactured by Ty-Sa-Man Company. The inventor retained ownership of the patent and patterns. In 1924 he assigned a 1/6 share of this business to each of his wife and three children, keeping the remaining 1/3 share for himself. After he died the patent and business were sold to S. A. Woods Machine Co. in exchange for $12,000 plus a royalty on machines sold. The Board of Tax Appeals ruled, in a split decision, that Rose may have completed paperwork assigning most of the ownership to his family members, and they paid income tax on it, but in reality he maintained full ownership and control, and the taxes were owed by him.
1,211,776	Jan. 09, 1917	Machine for grinding and polishing stones	Joseph H. Spears	Knoxville, TN
1,772,818	Aug. 12, 1930	Slab-cutting machine	Arthur Savage	Knoxville, TN	"This invention relates to machines for dividing slabs of marble or other stone or concrete and has special reference to the means for feeding the bridge or cutter-carrying element across the slab between successive cuts so as to properly position the cutters as successive cuts are to be made..."
2,674,238	Apr. 06, 1954	Abrasive cutting wire stone saw with automatic down feed	Joseph T. Dessureau	Barre, VT	"This invention relates to machines for cutting or sawing blocks of granite, marble or other stone by means of one or more endless abrasive cutting wires or cables..."
		Abrasive cutting wire stone saw with automatic down feed	John B. Dessureau	Barre, VT
2,767,458	Oct. 23, 1956	Saw table	Robert J. Meier	Grosse Point, MI	The invention is a table for a metal-cutting circular sawing machine, where the table is equipped with power-actuated clamps that hold the stock along the cutting line to prevent movement of the stock, including vibration.
2,772,528	Dec. 04, 1956	Metal sawing table	Harry C. Else	Pittsburgh, PA	Metal-cutting saw using a circular saw where the cutting element may be an abrasive disk. The innovation is a horizontal cutting surface consisting of a pair of platens on which the stock is placed. Clamps hold the stock in place on either side of the cut, partly to prevent any movement of the stock that would pinch the blade or abrasive disk. One of the stock-supporting platens can be tilted slightly to spread the saw-cut to further prevent pinching. A supporting bar runs just below the top of the other platen, adjacent to the path of the saw; the bar can be raised to press against the underside of the stock to support it during the cut, and can be lowered when the cut is complete to allow the stock to be moved or replaced with new stock.
2,807,123	Sep. 24, 1957	Grinding machines and the like	Francis M. Palmer	Latrobe, PA	The invention is a machine for surface grinding a steel billet to remove scale, decarburized steel or other surface defects.
2,901,245	Aug. 25, 1959	Plate positioning tables	James L. Hensley	Clinton, TN	This table is for a circular saw for cutting sheet or plate metal. The table is designed to ease handling and positioning of the sheets.
2,925,005	Feb. 16, 1960	Work holder	James L. Hensley	Clinton, TN	This invention is for "clamping metal workpieces on the bed of a cut off tool, such as a diamond saw, or a friction saw." The work holding allows for round stock, I-beams, angle iron, etc., while minimizing the use of accessories to adapt to specific shapes and also minimizing the time required to reconfigure the machine when changing between types of stock.
