The staff at The Henry Ford

United States patent applications have included small models, diagrams, and written descriptions detailing the operation of an invention. These materials helped explain an inventor’s idea and protect it from competitors. They also informed the final patent, awarded after careful and sometimes lengthy review by the U.S. Patent Office. Here is a selection of patent models and documents from The Henry Ford’s digital collections.
