Synopsis

Patents For Inventions. Abridgments Of Specifications by B. Woodcroft. The volume is a reference work in the Patents For Inventions series that abridges and organizes patent specifications in the Furniture and Upholstery class, covering mid-19th-century innovations filed with the London Patent Office. Each entry records the inventor, filing date, patent number, title, and a concise description of the improvement. It includes descriptive abridgments, appendices of earlier patents, errata, and a subject index, making it a key bibliographic and technical resource for engineers, manufacturers, patent practitioners, and researchers tracing the evolution of Victorian furniture technology. The scope encompasses beds, bedframes, seating and convertible furniture, tables and surfaces, blinds and window fittings, hardware, and new materials such as rubber, vulcanite, glass, and cork, with attention to modularity, portability, and ease of assembly. The prefatory material, edited by B. Woodcroft, explains omissions and overlaps and presents the abridgments as supplements to, not replacements for, full specifications.
