Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 13, 1913.
Application filed April 13, 1912. Serial No. 690,546.
To all whom it mm concern:
7 Be it known that we SILAS N. lamncnn and CHARLES A. FIDLER, citizens of the United States, residing at Shamokin, in the county of Northumberland and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Miners Lamps; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to miners lamps and has for an object to provide a lamp embodying new and improved features of safety, convenience and desirability of operation.
A further object of the invention is to provide a lamp having the flame inclosed in the usual gauze casing but with the gauze casing provided with a transparent section in front of the flame.
A further object of the invention is to provide in a miners lamp improved means for igniting the wick without exposing the open flame either of the wick or the match.
A further object of the invention is to provide in a miners lamp improved means for snuffing the wick without exposing the flame.
lVith these and other objects in view the invention comprises certain novel constructions, combinations and arrangements of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
In the drawings :-Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved lamp; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the lamp. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the lamp with the casing shown in section. Fig. 4: is an enlarged sectional view of the igniting and snu'tling portions of the lamp. Fig. 5 is a bottom plan view of the lamp showing the means for operating the snutt'er.
Like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The improved lamp which forms the subject matter of this application comprises a fuel reservoir 10 preferably having an inclined top 11. The top is provided with a screw cap 12 for the introduction of fuel and is also provided with a hook 13 by which the lamp is attached to the cap of the user in substantially the usual and ordinary manner.
Upon the top 11 of the lamp a threaded sleeve 14 is provided which is engaged by a threaded sleeve 15, the sleeve 14 being rigidly attached to the body and the sleeve 15 removable therefrom. The sleeve 15 carries a gauze casing or cylinder 16 of substantially the usual and ordinary safety type except that such casing is provided with a glass or other transparent element 17 at the front, such transparent section being held in by uprights 18 and a circumferential band 19.
Within the casing 16 a burner 20 of substantially the usual and ordinary type is employed having the vent 21 beside the burner. Also beside the burner a tube 22 is positioned having its upper end contracted and serrated as at 23. The tube extends downwardly through the body 10 and at the lower end is closed by an elastic washer 24. To ignite the lamp a match is thrust upwardly through the elastic washer bringing its head in contact with the serrations in the upper contracted end of the tube 22 whereby the match is ignited. The flame from the match ignites the wick 25, the lamp being tilted for that purpose if necessary. After igniting the match may remain in the tube but pref erably is withdrawn, the withdrawal of a match through the elastic washer 24 extinguishing the match so that no open flame is presented to possible external gases. Also extending upwardly through the tube 22 is a wire 26 having a shoulder 27 to prevent its withdrawal through the tube, and an arm 28 properly positioned to be moved above the burner at a proper distance to snuff the top of the wick 25. To operate the snuifer from the exterior of the lawn), a lever 29 is provided upon the under side of the body which can be moved as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 5 whereby the snutl'er arm 28 is moved forwardly and backwardly across the top of the wick to remove the obstructing accumulation from such wick. It will thus be seen that the lamp may be ignited and the igniting match withdrawn and the lamp otherwise controlled by snulling without exposing the open flame to the action of external gases. The incline of the inclined top 11 of the body is such that the transparent opening is carried down below the top of the wick to such an extent that the light is thrown well downwardly from the flame.
We claim 1. In a miners lamp, a body, a burner mounted above the body, a tube extending upwardly through the body adjacent the burner, means carried at the top of the tube for igniting a match inserted upwardly through the tube, and an elastic closure at the bottom of the tube adapted to engage the stick of the match and to extinguish the match when withdrawn through such elastic closure. 7
2. In a miners lamp, a body, a burner mounted above the body, a tube extending upwardly through the body and terminating adjacent the extremity of the burner, abrading means carried by the upper end of the tube adapted to ignite a match inserted adjacent the burner,
through the tube and an elastic slitted gasket closing the lower end of the tube.
3. In a miners lamp, a body, a burner carried above the body, a tube extending upwardly through the body and terminating abrading means carried at the upper end of the tube, a slitted elastic gasket closing the lower end of the tube, a wire extending upwardly through the gasket and through the tube, an offset formed at the lower end of the wire forming means for moving the wire rotatably upon its axis, and an ofiset formed at the top of the wire extending across and above the burner.
In testimony whereof we aflix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
