  1. I usually use google patent search: http://www.google.com/patent

    It returns results in pdf as well.

  2. Or just look up the same patent on Google and view it in your browser:

    The images from the USPTO are usually much better resolution than PDFs from Google.
    We also used them in this project: Perpetual Storytelling Apparatus http://storyteller.allesblinkt.com
