This account is devoted to human figure images extracted from U.S. patent drawings. A few patents (less than 1%) include an image of the human figure in relation to the patented item. Another related assortment is posted in an "angelfire" account at www.angelfire.com/mech/mvwcnews/pp.html.

Where possible, the patent number links in the descriptions point to the "google/patents" versions rather than the "official" versions on the U.S. Patent Office web site, because "google/patents" downgrades the image files to a format that does not require special .tiff viewer plug-ins.
