Vintage Machinery entry for The Stanley Works
|
|
Description: |
| The 1940 lawsuit, Stanley Works v. C. S. Mersick Co., tells us that the American rights to this patent were owned by the Stanley Works, which inherited them when they acquired Unishear Co., Inc. See this patent's reissue for more information.The original French manufacturer of this invention was "Achard et Cie" according to that Stanley Works v. Mersick lawsuit. Early machines sold by Unishear were manufactured by Achard et Cie in France, but deliveries were erratic and they began selling their Model A-14 which was manufactured for them in the US, by an unknown manufacturer. Gueneau, the owner of this patent, sued for infringement but a settlement was quickly reached that allowed Unishear to continue making and selling the A-14. The application for reissue was filed the day after that settlement was signed; the reissue was made to broaden the original claims. |
