"IMPROVEMENT IN LAMP FOR BURNING CANDLES.
To all to whom these presents shall come:
`Be it known that we, THOMAS SCOTT WILLIAMS and FREEMAN AUGUSTUS TABER, both of Boston,
V in the county of Snlolk and State -of Massachusetts,
have made an invention of a novel and useful Improvement in Devicesor Lamps for-Burning Candles; and dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of such invention, due reference being had -to the accompanying `drawing making part of this specification, and in 'which- Figure 1 is a sectional-elevation of portions of a lam'p for bnrning'pcandles, which have immediate relationship to or contain our improvement,
Figure 2- being a plan of the candle-surmounting cap, hereinafter explained.
Our present invention will be found to relate to a cla-ss of lamps or devices for burning tubular candles,
in which the candle is surmounted or capped, or partially inclosed byan inverted cup, having a central orifice in top for passage of the wick, up tO-or about which the candle is forced by a spring, or by other proper means.
Heretofore, in lamps of the above character, much inconvenience, as well as some loss of material, lhave been experienced from the overflowing and escape, through the orifice ofthe cap, of a portion of the candie, which becomes melted or softened under the heat of the enilamed wick, owing tothe upward pressure exerted upon the candle from below; and
The purpose of this invention iS to arrest and confine ina small compass, and immediately about the wick,rany excess of meltedyor softened candle which would otherwise escape, as beforestated.
` The invention or improvement herein described consists in erecting upon the upper surface or crown of the cap, which surmounts and partially incloses the candle, an annular wall or ledge, surrounded by a trough, the-area inclosedby Such wall and trough beconvenienceing sufcient to contain, under any circumstances, any
and all excess of melted or softened candle which the wick does not attract. p l
Referring'to the accompanying drawirig, the reader will see that a denotes thelmetallic deector or cone,
b the cap which receives the upper end of the candle, such candle being'shown at c, and d being a portion of the outer case or shell of a lamp Or device for burning. candles, such component parts being arranged in the position which they would properly occupy in Such lamps.
In pursuance of the object of our present invention, vwe erect upon the upper surface or arch of the cap b, and circumscribing its wick, a wall or ledge, f, the space or area included within such wall being, as before stated, suiciently extended to contain any Softened candle,which, except in extreme casesywould otherwise escape and flow over the top of the cap, and down upon the working parts-of the lamp, thus not only wasting the material of the candle but clog-` ging such parts, and causing great annoyance and in- It will be observed that the perimeter of the top or crown of the cap b is sunken Somewhat below the case or tube which composs the body thereof, as shown at g. Should the inclosure created by the wall f be found insumcient, in occasional instances, to contain the softened material of the candle, the annular trough g will be more than sufficient for the purpose.
We claim, in. combination with' the circnmscribing wall j, before mentioned, the sunken annular -trough g, for the purposes stated. ,l
THOMAS lSCOTT WILLIAMS. FREEMAN AUGUSTUS TABER.
