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
42,236 Apr. 05, 1864 Improvement in vises Anson P. Stephens Brooklyn, NY The 16 November 1867 issue of Scientific American carried this description of the Stephens patent vises displayed at the American Institute Fair: "The Parallel Vise of Messrs. Stephens & Co., 91 Liberty street, N. Y., is shown in several different sizes. It is one of the most useful and ingenious implements of the kind that has come under our notice. The claim of the makers that it is stronger, more durable, and can be adjusted in less time, holding firmer than screw vices, appears to be well sustained. It is a superior article."
A Martin J. Donnelly tool list for February 2000 showed a Stephens Patent Vise Co. catalog of 8 pages, ca. 1878.
