Patent Number Date Title Name City Description
35,542 Jun. 10, 1862 Improved tension-regulator for sewing machines Paul Pryibil New York, NY Invention is of interest because it is the first known patent for Paul Pryibil, an important early woodworking machinery builder (with First & Pryibil, and subsequently under his own name).
36,548 Sep. 23, 1862 Improved machine for cutting crystals Paul Pryibil New York, NY Patent is of interest because the inventor later became an important maker of woodworking machinery.
57,565 Aug. 28, 1866 Improvement in sawmills Paul Pryibil New York, NY Inventor was the eponym for First & Pryibil, a maker of a wide range of woodworking machinery. About 1887 the company name changed to "P. Pryibil".

113,926 Apr. 18, 1871 Improvement in sawing-machines Paul Pryibil New York, NY This is one of the first patents for a tilting bandsaw, or ship saw; only patent 31,768 preceded it.

152,277 Jun. 23, 1874 Improvement in journal-bearings De Witt C. Clough Auburn, NY This patent is a candidate for a patent date seen on a Pryibil jointer. The innovation is a rather obvious one: adding a lip on either side of a Babbitt bearing journal-box to help hold the bearing material in place.
166,355 Aug. 03, 1875 Improvement in resawing-machines John First New York, NY
169,035 Oct. 19, 1875 Improvement in band sawing-machines Paul Pryibil New York, NY This saw has the frame inclined from vertical by 30 to 60 degrees. The incline is such that the horizontal component of the saw-teeth's movement is opposite to the feed direction of the work; the result is that the saw cuts more like a circular saw than a bandsaw. "The cutting-edge operates first upon the lower portion of the work, the face of each tooth strikes the ends of the fibers in such a manner as to break most of the wood off in small chips or slides instead of cutting it all into dust..."

182,438 Sep. 19, 1876 Improvement in scroll-sawing machines William D. Herschel New York, NY The invention is aimed at creating a mechanism that runs smoothly at high speeds, and that pulls the sawblade back a bit at each end of the stroke, so that sawdust is more readily cleared.
Inventor Herschel went on to become the machine designer for Jos. O. Colladay & Bros.

396,283 Jan. 15, 1889 Lathe for turning spiral forms Edward D. Mackintosh Brooklyn, NY This machine was sold as P. Pryibil's "Twist Machine", and was featured in their 1889 catalog. "This machine will produce all kinds of spiral or rope mouldings, either straight, tapered, curved or oval. It will make right, left, and pineapple cuts, and will do straight fluting. It will cut from one to six threads on a piece, and will make any degree of twist, from one turn in one and one-half inches of length to one in ten and one-half inches. The cutters are similar in shape and arrangement to those used on variety shapers, and are made of the same steel. They are held between collars that are somewhat similar, but so arranged that the knives have a peculiar action, cutting from the outside in, and making a smooth cut even against the grain. They revolve always in the same direction, whether the twist be right or left, and one set will produce several different shapes of work."
