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.
"For an improvement in the Printing Press, for which a patent was obtained on the 8th of February, 1819; John J. Wells, Hartford, Connecticut, June 29.
The press is one of those in which the power is obtained by causing a lever, acting horizontally, to operate upon two others, which form what is usually known under the name of the toggle joint. The improvement made is in the mode of connecting these moving parts."
