American Laundry Machinery Mfg. Co. v. Troy Laundry Machinery Co.
U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Northern New York
In Equity. Suit to restrain alleged infringement of United States letters patent No. 466,815, dated January 12, 1892, for an ironing-machine.
1Opinion of the Court
RAY, District Judge.
As the defense possessing merit is that complainant’s device or machine, in view of the prior art, fails to disclose patentable invention, and is therefore void, I shall confine myself to a description and consideration of the device of complainant and the patent in suit and to the prior art and its effect op the patent in suit here. The letters patent in suit were granted to Fred C. Wendell. January 12, 1892, upon an application filed March 30, 1891, for an ironing-machine. The proofs show title in the complainant company and plain infringement, if the patent be valid.
