George Schrade patent drawing needed

[wiseguy]

I’m doing research trying to find a picture of his early 1900s patent for an out the front spring actuated knife ( switchblade ) if anyone can provide any help I’d appreciate it.
Thanks

This is all that I found:
In the early 1900s, George Schrade—a legendary toolmaker often called the "Father of the Automatic Knife"—developed and patented a significant out-the-front (OTF) design known as the Telescoping Knife.The 1908 Telescoping Knife Patent. While George Schrade is most famous for his "Safety Pushbutton" folding knives patented around 1906–1907, he expanded into OTF technology shortly after.Patent Year: 1908.Mechanism: Unlike standard switchblades that swing open from the side, this design featured a blade that "telescoped" straight out from the front of the handle.Operation: It used a button release that, when pressed, triggered a spring-loaded mechanism to deploy the blade automatically.Historical Context: This was one of the earliest practical OTF designs in the U.S. and laid the groundwork for modern single-action and double-action OTF knives.

I have looked here but nothing for an early 1900s out the front automatic. Apparently he had a patent for one in 07-08?
Thanks for your input, I appreciate it!

Wiseguy,
I tried the government web site but couldn't find any patents for Telescoping Knife. There are none on my site for Schrade in the 06-10 timeframe but will look again.
Hope someone finds it
