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
57,057 Aug. 07, 1866 Improvement in injectors for boilers James Gresham , England Improvements to Giffard's injector (see British patent issued to John Robinson and James Gresham on 1864-11-10) to allow it to draw a vacuum, avoiding the need for priming it when there is air in the supply-pipe. This Gresham patent seems to have been notable: according to a 1908 Patent Commissioner decision (see link), the New York firm of Nathan & Dreyfus, later Nathan Mfg. Co., began manufacturing this design of injector in 1881, a couple of years after the patent expired.
64,956 May. 21, 1867 Improvement in automatic lubricators Isidore Dreyfus New York, NY "My improvement in automatic lubricators relation to that description of such articles in which the device is a separate contrivance applied to journal-boxes or their glands, and from which the oil or lubricating material is drawn by the operation of the shaft..."

106,261 Aug. 09, 1870 Improvement in lubricators Isidore Dreyfus New York, NY "My invention relates to that class of lubricators in which the oil vessel or reservoir is provided with a loose or sliding spindle or rod, by means of which the oil is conducted from the reservoir to the part requiring lubrication. The lubricator I have devised is intended to be applied to and to move with any oscillating, vibratory, or rotating part—as, for instance, a loose pulley—in such manner that during its rotating or oscillatory movement it may deliver the oil regularly and with certainty, and distribute it evenly upon the journal or other part to be lubricated..."
109,118 Nov. 08, 1870 Improvement in lubricators Isidore Dreyfus New York, NY "My invention relates to that class of lubricators in which the feed of oil is effected by means of steam, which enters and condenses in the lubricator, and thus causes the displacement of a corresponding quantity of oil, which overflows and passes down one or more tubes leading from the lubricator to the part to be lubricated..."
