CHARLES FREDRICK, OF CABOOL, MISSOURI.
LAMP-BURNER ATTACHMENT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 27, 1913.
Application filed June 29, 1912. Serial No. 706,746.
To all whom it mag concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES H. FREDRICK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cabool, in the county of Texas and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp-Burner Attachments, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
This invention relates to lamp attachments, and the principal object of the invention is to provide a device which is used in connection with the wick passage so that when the wick is turned down the flame will be extinguished and the wick passage closed, thereby preventing the escape of smoke or gas. This would be very convenient if used in connection with alcohol lamps, since it very often happens that when the flame of an alcohol lamp is extinguished the alcohol evaporates and necessitates the refilling of the lamp when it is desired to use the same. This also prevents the danger of the lamp exploding, thereby preventing danger of fire.
In the accompanying drawings :Figure 1 is a top plan view of the oil burner. Fig. 2 is a side elevation with the'wick tube shown in section. Fig. 3 is an enlarged top plan view of the device with the safety closure in a closed position. Fig. 4 is a side elevation showing the position of the counter-balance when the closure is open. Fig. 5 is a view similar to the Fig. 4 show ing the position of the counter-balance when the closure is in a closed position.
Referring to the accompanying drawings it will be seen that this invention is connected with the wick tube 10 of a lamp 11 and comprises a rectangular plate 12, which fits into the rectangular wick tube 1.0, and is provided with the pivot pins 13 and 14 extending from its end and fitting in openings formed in the ends of the wick tube. The pivot pin 18 is positioned in an opening formed in the wick tube, whereas the pin 14 is positioned in a vertical slot at one edge of the tube, thereby permitting the closure to be removed when desired. A pocket 15 is formed in one side of the wick tube so that the closure plate may readily turn in the tube when raising or lowering the wick 16. The pin 14E has its outer end bent to form a lever 17 which carries the counter-balance 18 so that the closure plate will be normally held in a closed position.
When using this device the wick is inserted in the wick tube and the rod 19 turns to feed through the tube. As the upper end of the wick passes out of the tube it raises the plate 12, to a position shown in Fig. 1, thereby permitting the wick to pass out. The wick can then be lighted and will burn as in an ordinary oil lamp. hen it is desired to extinguish this wick it is turned into the-tube and as it passes the plate 12- this plate will be swung upon its pivots bythe counter-balance 18, thereby swinging in-= wardly and closing the upper end of the wick tube so that the wick will be extinguished and confining all the smoke and odors in the tube. This also prevents the evaporation of the oil, thereby causing a saving, since with a lamp of the ordinary type the oil quickly evaporates making it necessary to fill the lamp.
Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new, is
In a lamp burner, a fiat wick tube having one side provided with an outstanding bead, and one edge with an orifice in alinement with the bead, and its other edge with an open ended slot terminating with the head, a closure fitting within the tube, a pivot pin secured to the closure and disposed within the bead and having one end portion projected through the orifice and its other end portion arranged within the slot to permit removal of the closure, the latter end portion being bent at right angles to the length of the pivot-pin to provide an arm that is deflected downward relative to the closure when in closed position, and a counterweight carried by the free end of the arm. In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
