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
2,880,638 Apr. 07, 1959 Jaw-advancing, -alignment and -adjusting means for machine-tool vises Lawrence A. Muggli Minneapolis, MN This vise was apparently the inspiration for the now-ubiquitous Kurt Vise made by the Kurt Manufacturing Co. of Minneapolis (see, e.g., patent 4,934,674). In this Muggli vise, note the slanted surfaces on the right side that form the interface between the movable jaw and the carrier. When the jaw (29) is tightened the slanted interface (36) provides a downward component of force that pulls the work tight against the bed of the vise.
