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
11,787	Oct. 10, 1854	Pawl Drill	Simon Ingersoll	New York, NY	The Ingersoll Rock Drill Co. went through a couple of mergers and became part of Ingersoll-Rand Co. in 1905.
909,427	Jan. 12, 1909	Variable-volume air-compressor	Max Kurth	Franklin, PA	This patent date was seen on an Ingersoll-Rand compressor.
998,201	Jul. 18, 1911	Regulator for fluid-compressors	Ward Raymond	Easton, PA	This patent date was seen on an Ingersoll-Rand compressor.
1,102,018	Jun. 30, 1914	Power-driven handsaw	Ethan I. Dodds	Central Valley, NY	This patent is most notable for its blade guard, riving knife, and built-in fence. The assignee manufactured bolts and enamel-ware, though they were assigned a number of patents related to handheld power tools and granted to Ethan I. Dodds; a search failed to turn up any evidence that Kerner Mfg. ever made power tools. This patent date was seen on a pneumatically-powered circular saw from Ingersoll-Rand Co.; this patent seems to be the most likely match. This patent date was also seen on a circular saw from Skilsaw, Inc.; the other patent dates on the saw spanned 1920 to 1925, "other patents pending". The inventor, Ethan I. Dodds, promoted himself as the most prolific inventor in the USA aside from Thomas Edison, claiming that he was granted over 2000 US patents. The actual count was more like 320.
1,138,278	May. 04, 1915	Pressure-controlled valve	William G. Rogers	Painted Post, NY
		Pressure-controlled valve	John H. Castle	Painted Post, NY
1,172,901	Feb. 22, 1916	Fluid-operated drills	Caid H. Peck	Athens, PA
1,255,315	Feb. 05, 1918	Ratchet operating mechanism for drills	Francis A. Jimerson	Athens, PA	Improvements to patent 1,172,901.
1,306,106	Jun. 10, 1919	Drill-steel-pinning device	Jesse Ditson	Littleton, CO	The invention is a machine to sharpen a rock drill containing a longitudinal hole for the conveying of air and water to the cutting edge to carry away the swarf. During sharpening the hole tends to become blocked, and this invention forces a pin through the hole to clear it. See also patent 1,349,330, which gives a further improvement to this invention.
1,349,330	Aug. 10, 1920	Fluid-operated vise	Jesse Ditson	Littleton, CO	This patent date was seen on an Ingersoll-Rand compressor and is the only Ingersoll-Rand patent we can find on that date. The invention is an improvement to patent 1,306,106, which relates to sharpening rock drills.
1,377,479	May. 10, 1921	Liquid-fuel burner	Charles C. Hansen	Easton, PA
1,385,134	Jul. 19, 1921	Bit-chuck retainer	Francis A. Jimerson	Athens, PA	"This invention relates to bit chucks, but especially to a device for retaining the tapered shank of a bit bit chuck in the tapered socket of a spindle. The device is particularly applicable to a bit chuck having a reduced shank formed with a standard Morse taper, and adapted to fit a correspondingly tapered socket in a spindle..."

1,537,089	May. 12, 1925	Track wrench	Francis A. Jimerson	Athens, PA	This pneumatic wrench is intended for fastening and removing fish plates that join railway track sections. It is intended to use the pneumatic motor of patent 1,255,315.
1,540,388	Jun. 02, 1925	Portable saw	John M. Crowe	Covington, KY	This patent date was seen on a pneumatically-powered circular saw from Ingersoll-Rand Co. This patent date was also seen on a circular saw from Skilsaw, Inc.; the other patent dates on the saw spanned 1914 to 1925, "other patents pending". An article in the May 1927 "Railway Engineering and Maintenance", page 218, describes Ingersoll-Rand Co.'s "New Air-Driven Portable Hand-Saw". The saw "consists essentially of an Ingersoll-Rand three-cylinder type air motor, a circular saw blade and a Crowe safety saw guard, together with suitable hand grips..." The saw was intended for cutting wood, soapstone, bakelite, wall-board, cable and copper. A variety of blades were available. The speed of cutting was claimed to be 20 times as fast as by hand-power. It was available in sizes to accommodate blade diameters of 6, 8 and 12 inches.

This patent date was seen on a pneumatically-powered circular saw from Ingersoll-Rand Co. The innovations in this patent are an improved arrangement of handles, an improved adjustable depth gauge, and an improved blade guard and lock.
