The original patent papers, including drawings, can be viewed online at the webpage for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. From their webpage, enter the desired patent number, then follow the links.

The image files, saved in tiff format, can not be directly viewed by today's web browsers. You will need to install a browser plugin to view the patents. It's not difficult. I recommend alternatiff, a free viewer.

If you already have the tiff plugin installed, you can simply click on the patent descriptions below, then click on "images."

You can help this project by providing specific patent numbers, dates of issuance or other infomation regarding Rumely patents.

Hunting down specific patent numbers is not difficult, but it's time consuming. All you need to do is visit the USPTO web page, enter a number, and view the patent. If it's not what you're looking for, look at the next patent, and keep going until you find what you're looking for. For each date there are a several hundred patents.

The up side is that you get the opportunity to check out dozens of interesting inventions. If you want to help hunt down a specific patent from a known issuance date, pick out an unassigned date from the table above, then contact me to ensure that we're not wasting our efforts by searching the same series of numbers.
