US patents are required to have at least one diagram. I've never seen a 
patent without numerous labeled diagrams to allow reference to the pieces of 
the invention.  Otherwise, I'm not sure what you're asking.

Certainly things involving construction and such (say, desks for special 
purposes, support racks, etc) have pictures of what they're constructing.
