Lamp Wick. V
C. W. LE COUNT.
STATES PATENT OF C CHARLES W. LE COUNT, OF NORWALK, CONNECTICUT IMPROVEMENT lN LAM P-WICKS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 59,237, dated October 30, 1866.
To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, CHARLES W. LE COUNT, of the town of Norwalk, county of Fairfield, and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Felt Lamp-Wicks; and I do hereby-declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification.
.This invention is an improvement upon the woolen lamp-wick which is the subject of Letters Patent granted to myself and Samuel Chard, dated February 27,1866, and of which I am now, by assignment, the sole owner.
Its object is to obtain a freer capillary action than can be obtained in a simple woolen felted wick; and to this end it consists in the manufacture of a felted wick with longitudinal threads of cotton, linen, or other fibrous material passing through it.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe the same.
In the drawing, Figure 1 is a sketch of the top of a kerosene-lamp with a sample of the felt wick passed in preparatory to being ignited. I manufacture the woolen felt-cloth for the lamp-wicks A with the fiber of the Wool all running lengthwise, instead of being crossed in the usual manner of making the felt, and in theeenter, or nearly so, I insert a layer or a series of threads or fibers of cotton, linen, or other suitable material, to combine and mix with the wool fiber. a
The object of my making the felt with the fiber running lengthwise only, and introducing the cotton threads with the same, as described, is that I find upon carefully experimenting with the combination that when the lineal threads are inserted as described with the wool, the oil will be attracted and drawn up to feed the flame more freely than by the Wool alone when it is woven in the usual manner I do not confine myself precisely to the arrangement of the longitudinal threads in the center of the wick.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A lamp-wick composed of felt with longitudinal threads of cotton or other fibrous material running through it, substantially as and for the purpose herein described.
O. W. LE COUNT.
