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
19,033 Jan. 05, 1858 Shingle machine Robert Law Portage City, WI This patent date was seen on a Trevor shingle machine that also said, "Licensed under Evarts' Patent" and the date January 4, 1872 (patent 11,858). Shingles machines of this patent have even been seen in a 1912 catalog for Trevor Mfg. Co., albeit with the improvements of patents 764,873 and 883,922. We have also see a Goldie & McCulloch shingle machine based on this patent, which was presumably not licensed since American patents were not recognized in Canada. We did find a listing for a Canadian shingle-machine patent granted in 1859 to one James Law of Scarborough, Ontario (932). We have not been able to find a copy of that specification but it might be a Canadian version of this patent: at the time, only residents of Canada could receive Canadian patents, so perhaps Robert Law arranged for a Canadian relative to apply for a patent on his behalf.
932 Mar. 24, 1859 Law's shingle and barrel heading sawing machine James Law ON, Canada It is possible that this patent is a duplicate of the 1858 US patent granted to Robert Law, 19,033. That patented shingle mill was manufactured for many years by Trevor & Co., of Lockport, NY, and for a few years by Goldie & McCulloch Co., of Galt, ON.
XC patents are Canadian patents issued between 1824 and 1869.
2,115 Feb. 28, 1873 Shingle machine John Goldie ON, Canada "This invention relates to the means for operating the carriage bearing the block to the saw, the object being to overcome the violent shock when the carriage is about to be moved forward; and it consists in the adaption and application to the carriage of a friction bar, and, interposed, elastic cushions, and operating the same by a friction wheel on a continuous rotary shaft one end of which is journalled in a movable bearing, so as to allow of the disengagement of the friction wheel from the friction bar by dropping the shaft, to allow the carriage to be drawn rearward, by means of a descending weight."
Patent 8,461 denotes an extension of this patent. At that time, Canadian patents were issued for a period of only five years. Patent 16,281 was issued in 1883, constituting an additional extension of this patent.

8,461 Feb. 23, 1878 Improvements on shingle machines John Goldie ON, Canada This patent represents an extension to patent 2,115, for an additional five years. The paperwork refers to "Goldie's Improved Shingle Machine".

307,275 Oct. 28, 1884 Flour and grain conveyer Eli S. Edmondson ON, Canada
24,137 May. 25, 1886 Steam engine Jerome Wheelock Worcester, MA "New and improved construction of distributing valves and mechanisms." An 1889 catalog from Goldie & McCulloch features the "Wheelock Automatic Cut-Off Engine" and they claim to "have built more Wheelock Engines than the combined output of all Brown and Corliss Engine builders in the Dominion." The catalog also gives a long list of Canadian users of the Wheelock engine, and notes that they had sold more than 260 such engines.
