* An asterisk has been used to identify patents that are not strictly for truss bridges or truss details.
They are patents labeled by the U.S. Patent office simply as “bridge” or even as “truss bridge,” but in
fact are not truss configurations or details. They have been listed to dispel concerns that a patent may
have been inadvertently overlooked.
Bridge patents clearly identified by the Patent Office as a type other than a truss bridge, such as a
“suspension bridge” or “movable bridge,” have generally not been listed.
