41 interesting vise patents - drawings

[Toolmaker51]

I think I'm going to work on more posts like this. They're time-consuming to assemble, but probably more intellectually valid than most other GIF or short video style posts. On their face, that is - sometimes a cheesy GIF leads to a rewarding and technically valid conversation.

Probably best themed by decade instead of "So-and-so many interesting...". For example: "Vise patents of the 1930s". Bookending the patents like that will allow me to review them in discrete chunks. The USPTO has an API that I might be able to use for quicker image retrieval too.

Let me know if anyone has ideas, or is curious about specific types of tool patents.

I, for one enjoy patents. Especially when related to products I utilize in some manner.........So patents articles as you've generated already, are informative. For me an even greater benefit would be in the technique, maybe a 'checklist' of recommended & successful search avenues.
My brake is a good example. Very little appears, even less starting from my usual point -brand name and trademark.

So far, patent numbers and date info was not all that close to what I have. Kind of disappointing.
