I saw your information at http://blog.modernmechanix.com.....-wanted-2/ and thought you might enjoy adding http://www.wikipatents.com to your page. WikiPatents has a database of millions of patents and patent applications, allows PDF downloading of patents, provides file histories, and other helpful information. It is an excellent free resource for researchers, entrepreneurs, inventors and students.
Enjoy,
Jamie
