Patent Number	Date	Title	Name	City	Description
71,265	Nov. 26, 1867	Improvement in scroll-sawing machines	Henry L. Beach	New York, NY	This appears to be the first woodworking patent granted to Henry L. Beach, who later became an important maker of scrollsaws and other woodworking machinery. But at the time of this patent, he seems to have been primarily engaged in making horse rakes. Perhaps he invented this improved scrollsaw for the manufacture of horse-rake parts.
75,514	Mar. 17, 1868	Improvement in horse rakes	Henry L. Beach	Montrose, PA	This patent is of interest because it is an early patent to Henry L. Beach, who later became an important maker of scrollsaws and finish planers.
76,040	Mar. 31, 1868	Improvement in horse-rakes	Henry L. Beach	New York, NY	This patent is of interest because the inventor became an important inventor and maker of woodworking machinery, especially large scrollsaws. The patent specification incorrectly lists the assignee as "Beach Horse Hay-Rake Mfg. Company"; the patent text gives the correct name.
145,084	Dec. 02, 1873	Improvement in scroll-saws	Henry L. Beach	New York, NY	This patent is notable because it provides a link between the Henry Beach's horserake business (see patent 76,040) and his earlier (see patent 71,265) and later (this patent) patents for scrollsaws. Henry Lloyd Beach later moved to back to Montrose, PA and, under his name, sold tablesaws, sanders, swing saws, scrollsaws, ripsaws, and crosscut saws. At some point after 1897 the company name changed from "H. L. Beach" to Beach Mfg. Co.
163,843	Jun. 01, 1875	Improvement in scroll-sawing machines	Henry L. Beach	Montrose, PA
182,743	Oct. 03, 1876	Improvement in scroll-saws	Henry L. Beach	Montrose, PA	The inventor had ads in Manufacturer & Builder for his scroll saw.
209,153	Oct. 22, 1878	Improvement in scroll-sawing machines	Henry L. Beach	Montrose, PA
231,468	Aug. 24, 1880	Frame for scroll-sawing machines	Henry L. Beach	Montrose, PA
356,186	Jan. 18, 1887	Scroll-sawing machine	Henry L. Beach	Montrose, PA	A ca. 1920 catalog from Philadelphia machinery manufacturer L. Power & Co. shows a "Patent Scroll Sawing Machine" that is an exact match to the patent drawing. It is uncertain whether L. Power was manufacturing this machine themselves or if it was being manufactured by Beach. In any event, that catalog post-dates the expiry of this patent so we do not list L. Power & Co. as a manufacturer of this invention.
381,752	Apr. 24, 1888	Saw-table gage	Henry L. Beach	Montrose, PA
381,751	Apr. 24, 1888	Scroll-saw	Henry L. Beach	Montrose, PA
389,684	Sep. 18, 1888	Joint for furniture, boxes, or like articles	Henry Lloyd Beach	Montrose, PA	Of interest because the inventor was an important woodworking machinery inventor and maker.

429,838	Jun. 10, 1890	Saw Hanging	Henry Lloyd Beach	Montrose, Susquehanna County, PA
537,521	Apr. 16, 1895	Circular sawing machine	Henry Lloyd Beach	Montrose, PA
