Note: Apparently, in viewing more than the first page of a patent (TF patents run to 7 pages of images alone) a few people have experienced problems with the Delphion site. Whether this is because of differing browsers, or what, I cannot say. Here are some suggestions on how to deal with those issues:

If you don't immediately go to the image/scan of the original patent (complete with blueprints/pics) you can click on the 'view images' link at the upper left portion of the page on the Delphion site (just under the 'US12345' patent number), it will take you to the specific toy patent listed. Farther down the page, the inventors are all cross-linked with various other inventors, and applicable patents/toys. Note also that you will have to copy and paste these into your browser, as I've not had the time to hyperlink them yet. :-) (Note: Devvi has taken the time to hyperlink the first page of each patent here.)

Note: If you have a problem viewing the patent images, you can also use the 'cut and paste' method. Specifically, if you see this:

http://www.delphion.com/details?&pn=USD0285466__

And for some reason, it won't let you view the images, then what you can do is cut and paste this section of the code into the center of the link:

cgi-bin/viewpat.cmd/

So that your final link will read like this:

http://www.delphion.com/cgi-bin/viewpat.cmd/USD0285466__

Take note of the details you overwrite in the original line! Once you do that, you should be able to view the images to the patent. :-)

Worse case scenerio, if none of this extra work is to your liking...signing up for a free 'viewing' account at their site is also an option. It's the left-most option. The free one. NOT the 75$ one. Just skip the nonsense about the billing of a credit card, you don't even have to fill it out...if you don't order a patent, you won't be charged. It's free to look at. :-)
