Sarah Coventry - patents?

A question came up about whether Sarah Coventry patented their designs. I did a bit of research and the quick answer is that it doesn't look like it. However there are some utility patents and it was really interesting to read about patents all the back to 1892 for C.W. Stuart who started the companies that eventually included Sarah Coventry. I found so much info, that I put it all onto a page on the website.


I also got a kick out of one patent filed in 1972 for a "ring for two adjacent fingers". I wonder if they actually made this ring? oops, more research! LOL! Here's a drawing from the patent.
