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
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.

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.
