Improvements to patent 245,634. An 1892 lawsuit involving this patent, Pettibone, Mulliken & Company v. Stanford, resulted in this patent being partially upheld; given the prior art the patent claims must be interpreted narrowly. Despite the patent being weak, Pettibone Mulliken & Co. manufactured "Jenne" jacks into at least the 1930s. |
