I am very interested in the comment about Henry G Reiniger - considering Rathdrum Idaho is where I grew up. It doesn't look like that is the author of this thingy and a patent search doesn't leave me with much when I look up the patent. Perhaps it can be explained?

Thanks! You caught a typo in the description -- it should have been patent number 984,969. I've fixed that now. You can download a copy of the patent in the downloads section if you're curious.

But it looks like there are quite a few patents that mention Rathdrum! https://www.google.com/?tbm=pt...

modeling old US patents -- wow, that's just genius! 8-)

Thanks! I'm posting more to Thingiverse tagged as patent2print and posting on patent-able.tumblr.com if you want to follow along!

I think that the idea of digging through old patents is great! If you find anything else cool, be sure to share it with us.

Yep! I'm on a mission to see if I can actually model (and then print) random things from the *original* Thingiverse -- the US PTO! So definitely more to come.

But I won't know how printable these are until I finally get my Replicator... I'd love to hear if anyone is able to print in the meantime.

Slotted screws are the worst invention ever!
