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
55,623	Apr. 14, 1897	Can body soldering machine	Henry Schaake	San Francisco, CA	The inventor had started working in the Baltimore, Md., fruit-canning industry, then in 1888 he moved to California where he "incorporated several companies for the production of cans for the then burgeoning fishing industry." About the time this patent was issued, he moved to New Westminster, B.C., to take advantage of the Fraser River fisheries. He worked for the Automatic Can Company until a fire destroyed their plant in 1898, and when he was approached by one John Kellington who had developed an improved can topping and washing machine. Schaake purchased the rights to Kellington's machine and then opened his own business, The Schaake Machine Works, to manufacture and repair fishing-industry machinery. Before that time he had licensed some of his patents to the Vulcan Iron Works of New Westminster. In 1901 Schaake was approached by Frank L. Johnson who had developed an improved shingle sawing machine, which Schaake licensed and manufactured to considerable success.
60,092	May. 21, 1898	Can heading machine	Henry Schaake	BC, Canada	The inventor went on to manufacture shingle machinery under the banner of the Schaake Machine Works. This patent notes that he was "a citizen of the United States, residing at New Westminster, Province of British Columbia".
742,439	Oct. 27, 1903	Shingle-machine	Frank Leslie Johnson	BC, Canada	A 1902 ad from Schaake Machine Works features Johnson's Shingle Machine M'f'd by the Schaake Machine Works. A testimonial from a BC sawmill is addressed to "Mr. Frank L. Johnson, Sapperton, B. C." and references their "Improved Johnson Shingle Machine which we recently purchased from The Schaake Machine Works". A search failed to turn up a Canadian equivalent of this US patent, although Henry Schaake was granted a couple of later patents for improvements.
