The American Patented Brace Database

The following is a listing of over 600 brace and brace related patents issued by the U.S. Patent Office. (A small number of the patents refer to hand drills or brace attachments.) This information has been taken from the book, The American Patented Brace, 1829-1924, by Dr. Ron Pearson (now deceased) and has been expanded by additional patents discovered since the book was published. These additional patents have been found, mostly, by fellow tool collectors, whose curiosity and diligent searching have uncovered obscure listings.

We would like to thank Ron for allowing the inclusion of material from his book here on our website. We believe that this is an important addition which will be of significant interest to our readers.

For those interested in viewing the patent drawings, most of them can be found in The American Patented Brace, which may be available from several antique tool dealers or directly from the publisher, The Astragal Press. With the patent number, you can also search directly online at the US Patent Office (additional information on Patent Searches can be found here on our website.)
