Brief Description of the Drawings

In this section, you will list the drawings in your invention. Typically you will compile this list after you have written the next section, Description of the Specific Embodiments. However, you'd be wise to at least prepare a preliminary list of drawings and if changes are made after writing your patent application, make the necessary changes.

This section is usually easy to write, one sentence and one paragraph per drawing. It simply references the drawings included in the application. All you need to consider is putting them in their proper sequence. Try to start with a drawing showing how the invention is made or assembled and then follow with subsequent drawings showing the completed product. Last, show how it works if it's not obvious at this point.

It is usually best to describe the type of drawing you are using, such as we'll use in the example:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention illustrating the gathering of the nylon mesh prior to forming the ball-shaped cleaning device.

The various types of the most commonly used drawings are explained later on in the chapter. Again, you may use language in other issued patents to find out what kind of drawings you may use in your patent application. There's no need to re-invent the wheel ... just use-at times trace-commonly used drawings and language in other issued patents.
