Patent Number Date Title Name City Description
108,135 Oct. 11, 1870 Improvement in cane-strippers Constantine Alexander Hege Friedberg, NC
118,366 Aug. 22, 1871 Improvement in rotary steam-engines Constantine Alexander Hege Forsyth County, NC "The first part of my invention consists in the revolving shaft being placed near the bottom of chamber, which is of an elliptical form, so that the sliding piston can have all the leverage possible yet touch equally all around the chamber during each revolution of shaft. The second part of my invention consists in placing two of those chambers side by side on the same shaft, with the sliding piston through the shaft in one chamber at right angles through the same shaft, with the sliding piston in the other chamber, so that when the steam in one chamber is just beginning to act on the sliding piston it will have full power on the sliding piston in the other chamber. The third part of my invention consists in the construction of a sliding valve communicating with a lever, by means of which lever the sliding valve is moved either way, so as to change the direction of the steam and run the engine either backward or forward."

196,577 Oct. 30, 1877 Improvement in head-blocks for saw-mills Constantine Alexander Hege Salem, NC The manufacturer listing is because of a flyer showing the "Hege Eureka" portable circular sawmill.
