41 interesting vise patents - drawings

[Jon]

Some vise patent pickins using the complex but excellent advanced patent search at USPTO.gov. An example query for a search like this, entered into the advanced search box here:

CCL/269/$ AND APT/1 AND ISD/9/10/2008->9/10/2018 AND (TTL/vice OR TTL/vise)

In order:

CCL/269/$ - US patent classification class 269: Work Holders (the class most likely to contain vise patents)
APT/1 - utility patents only (this eliminates design patent results)
ISD/9/10/2008->9/10/2018 - patent issue date for the past decade (ISD limits my search to only issued patents, and not applications)
TTL/vise OR TTL/vice - two common spellings of vise

For a larger search, just expand the date range, or add queries like "clamp" or "work holding". Some curated results below; click on each for the full patent:
