The last numbers are the patent numbers to enter in the search tool

[Squelchtone]

This is somewhat confusing, that US Patent Office website is awful to use.. Why not search for patents using https://Patents.Google.com/ ?


I tried to look this up from the list you posted: KEY HOLDING TOOL 10/22/91 5058465

There is no patent for a key holding tool under the number 5058465, is this a US patent? what's the actual patent number? looks like it should be US5058465A

ok,now I found it.. it needed the US in front of the number, and the A and the end.. I'm not a patent expert so not used to the nomenclature.

I enter the patent number in http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html and it worked

google uses a different search string, the link above uses only 5058465

USPTO shows the patent, the classes, people with prior inventions and foreign patents

USPTO info can be ported to a xls file

United States Patent 5,058,465
Womack October 22, 1991
Key holding tool for impressioning

Abstract
A device for holding a lock key firmly while inserting the key in a lock on a building, automobile, filing cabinet or other. The purpose of the tool is to impart torque simultaneous with a rocking motion to the key. This causes marks to be made on the key by the lock pins or wafers and shows the locksmith where to file the key to make it open the lock. This procedure is well known to those in the locksmith's trade, and is called impressioning.

I am in the process of compiling all above patents in a .pdf file so they can be read as a book

For some members this will be overkill but I want it for when I do not have access to the internet.
I am also creating a hard copy

I will get an url that will download the book if some one wants it.

I see a lot that I would like to see Diagrams of, I wandered in a Miami Library once, Half the Building Were Large Books of Patents, looking forward to your work, sitting and looking through the Books is Interesting as you see Patents you weren't searching for.
