Patent Number Date Title Name City Description
71,265 Nov. 26, 1867 Improvement in scroll-sawing machines Henry L. Beach New York, NY This appears to be the first woodworking patent granted to Henry L. Beach, who later became an important maker of scrollsaws and other woodworking machinery. But at the time of this patent, he seems to have been primarily engaged in making horse rakes. Perhaps he invented this improved scrollsaw for the manufacture of horse-rake parts.
75,514 Mar. 17, 1868 Improvement in horse rakes Henry L. Beach Montrose, PA This patent is of interest because it is an early patent to Henry L. Beach, who later became an important maker of scrollsaws and finish planers.
76,040 Mar. 31, 1868 Improvement in horse-rakes Henry L. Beach New York, NY This patent is of interest because the inventor became an important inventor and maker of woodworking machinery, especially large scrollsaws.
The patent specification incorrectly lists the assignee as "Beach Horse Hay-Rake Mfg. Company"; the patent text gives the correct name.
145,084 Dec. 02, 1873 Improvement in scroll-saws Henry L. Beach New York, NY This patent is notable because it provides a link between the Henry Beach's horserake business (see patent 76,040) and his earlier (see patent 71,265) and later (this patent) patents for scrollsaws.
Henry Lloyd Beach later moved to back to Montrose, PA and, under his name, sold tablesaws, sanders, swing saws, scrollsaws, ripsaws, and crosscut saws. At some point after 1897 the company name changed from "H. L. Beach" to Beach Mfg. Co.
