Description

U l TEI) STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JENS J'. I-I. MOHR, 0F NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT.
REFLECTOR.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JENS J. H. MoHR, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Reflectors; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and eXact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in-
Figure l a side view of a reflector constructed in accordance with my invention.-
Fig. 2 a sectional View of the same. Fig. 3 a sectional view of one of the cones, enlarged. Fig. 4 an inside view of a portion of the reflector showing four cones with the reflecting surfaces between their inner ends.
This invent-ion relates to an improvement in reflectors for electric, gas or other burners.
The uses for my improved reflector are many, and among them may be mentioned the use of' a reflector for lighting streets, for use in light houses and buoys, ships, railway signaling, air-ship stations and other cases where a brilliant light is desired, or where it is desired to throw the light through colored glass, the object being to provide a reflector which will radiate the light and intensify the rays and provide for conveniently using a light asa signal; and the invention consists in the construction hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claim.
In carrying lout my invention I arrange a multiplicity of' cones 2 with the edges of the adjacent cones in contactso as to produce a globe form and these cones are lined with polished metal or otherwise provided with a suitable reflecting surface. At the inner end of the cone is a lens 3 which intensies the rays, and in the outer end of the cone is a collar 4 which may carry a Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 608,405.
glass 5 of any desired color, o-r in some cases this glass may be ground or made opaque if it is desired to shade the light in one or more of the cones. Between the inner ends of the cones are reflecting surfaces 6 which will reflect the rays across the interior of the reiiector and through the cones on the opposite side; for instance, the reflecting ,surface 6 will thow rays through the cone reflectors 7 and 8. As herein shown the reflector comprising a plurality of cones is made up into ball-like form, and if gas or oil is used as the illuminating material a dome or ventilator 9 will be provided. The means for supporting the globe around the burner are not shown as these will vary according to the style of burner employed, it being thought sufficient to state that the reflector will be suitably supported so that the burner will stand in the center thereof.
With a reflector of this character, the colored glasses at the outer ends of the cones may be of varying colors and thus used for signaling purposeson land or at sea, and the reflector might be arranged to revolve so as to throw these colored lights in any desired direction.
I claim A reflector comprising a plurality of cones, the outer edges of the cones in contact producing a globe form, the interior surfaces of the cones having reflecting surfaces, lenses mounted at the inner ends of said cones, and reflectors arranged between the inner ends of the several cones adapted to reflect rays of light transversely across the inner portion of the globe.
In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
