Following on from the previous thread about patents, Google has
now got in on the act.

http://www.google.com/patents

It's only the USPTO patents at the moment, but its definitely easier
to use and get the scanned images out of it.

E.g. using the elmer patent as an example, It also brought up
patent 3812829. Which has a detailed drawing of an improved version
of the combined valve/injector assembly

Brilliant,
With Firefox and IE, and all the plug in's I still wasn't able to see
the pictures from the US Gov site.
This is a definite improvement.

best bit about that is the random selection on the home screen.

It's come up so far among other things with a monkey-shaped camera bag, an
improved ouija board, and novel angled push-pins.

I don't claim to have studied it, but I'm surprised it's possible to find
variations on the steam engine to patent.
