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
1,998,113 Apr. 16, 1935 Reamer Ernest E. Anderson Detroit, MI Invention is an adjustable reamer that can also be used for heavier cuts.
    Reamer William H. Fritz Detroit, MI  
2,085,095 Jun. 29, 1937 Rotary cutter Stanley H. Grattan Detroit, MI This is an insert-tooth milling machine cutter-head where the cutters can be sharpened and their position in the head adjusted to maintain the same cutting diameter.
2,135,893 Nov. 08, 1938 Gear cutter Ernest C. Head Detroit, MI This cutter is for making spiral-tooth gears and is not a traditional worm-style hob cutter, but rather is a crown-gear style of cutter. The innovation is a cutter-tooth shape that provides a constant pressure angle from front to back which maintains the correct tooth geometry as the cutters are sharpened. A special machine is required to grind the precise tooth shape: see patent 2,135,894.
2,135,894 Nov. 08, 1938 Machine for forming spiral bevel gear cutters Ernest C. Head Detroit, MI This machine grinds gear cutters with the special geometry covered in patent 2,135,893.
2,207,909 Jul. 16, 1940 Milling cutter Clarence R. Besaw Detroit, MI This helical-blade milling cutter has multiple abutting inserted cutters forming each blade.
2,212,012 Aug. 20, 1940 Cutter Clarence W. Davidson Orchard Lake, MI This patent covers an inserted-blade design for milling, reaming, boring, etc., where each insert has cutting edges on opposing sides.
396,013 Apr. 22, 1941 Milling cutter Clarence W. Davidson Orchard Lake, MI
2,270,003 Jan. 13, 1942 Gear cutter Ernest C. Head Detroit, MI
RE22,891 Jun. 24, 1947 Gear cutter Ernest C. Head Detroit, MI The inventor was deceased at the time of reissue; the reissue was applied for by the Gleason Works, though the original patent was assigned to Goddard & Goddard Co. of Detroit. Gleason Works made gear-cutting machines; Goddard & Goddard Co. made cutters for such machines.
460,908 Nov. 08, 1949 Cutting tool assembly William J. Solderbeck Southfield Township, Oakland County, MI
466,180 Jun. 27, 1950 Cutter and method of forming the same Emmons A. Goddard Birmingham, MI
2,583,309 Jan. 22, 1952 Cutting tool William J. Solderbeck Southfield Township, Oakland County, MI Construction of an inserted-tooth cutter in two parts that are joined together by welding. This two-piece construction simplifies the machining of the separate parts and reduces cost.
    Cutting tool William H. Fritz Sr. Southfield Township, Oakland County, MI  
484,904 Jul. 15, 1952 Cutting tool Fritz William H. Sr. Detroit, MI
    Cutting tool William J. Solderbeck Southfield Township, Oakland County, MI  
2,614,441 Oct. 21, 1952 Cutter and method of forming the same Emmons A. Goddard Birmingham, MI The invention is a slitting saw blade and hub that are designed so that the hub and blade cool at the same rate during heat treating so as to minimize distortion and improve the quality of the cutting edge. These goals are achieved by piercing the thicker hub with regularly spaced grooves or holes.
2,778,924 Jan. 22, 1957 Apparatus and method for producing flat surfaces John P. Hill Detroit, MI The invention is a cutter insert made by electric discharge machining, which produces a cutting edge that is smooth and flat and devoid of cracks or scratches that can be the starting point of a fracture in the edge. In addition, the exact method of production is intended to provide precisely parallel surfaces to minimize the risk of fractures when the insert is clamped into a holder.
2,797,299 Jun. 25, 1957 Method of forming serrations at the back of the blade of cutting elements John P. Hill Detroit, MI This patent was divided from the application that became patent 2,778,924.
3,078,565 Feb. 26, 1963 Magnetic chuck adapter plate Joseph A. Sanders Detroit, MI The invention is a plate suitable for clamping to a magnetic chuck, so that the plate can be machined to accept a ferromagnetic part that is not shaped in a way that can be directly held by a standard magnetic chuck. The innovations primarily relate to a construction that is less expensive to manufacture than previous designs.
3,371,394 Mar. 05, 1968 Cartridge type holder Dupuis Hubert Detroit, MI "A cartridge for cutting inserts adapted to be inserted in a tool holder pocket without lateral extension beyond the side walls of the pocket, and to have all adjusting and clamping devices thereof operable at the exposed outer surface thereof."
3,378,901 Apr. 23, 1968 Milling cutter Hubert Dupuis Detroit, MI
