Description:
Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. There are no patent drawings available. This patent is in the database for reference only.

“This is a rack and pinion press. Within each cheek there is an iron rack, and two pinions mash into these racks, the pinions being fixed on the ends of a shaft which crosses the press, and the gudgeons of which turn in the cheeks. This shaft carries also two cog wheels, which are operated upon by two other pinions upon a second shaft, above the former. A handspike, or lever, passing into mortise holes in this upper shaft, serves to work the press, and a weight suspended from the end of this lever, will, when wanted, keep up a continuous pressure.

We have never yet found two oak leaves exactly of the same form, and in like manner we may aver that this press does not precisely resemble any other which we have seen; still we are at a loss to tell in what part of it there is any new combination upon which to rest a claim to an exclusive right. The patentee appears to have been in the same predicament with ourselves, as he has not claimed anything.”

Journal of the Franklin Institute Vol. 6, Sept. 1829 pg. 178
