Description
UNITED STATES JOHN S. FISH, OECLEVELAND, OHIO.
IMPROVEMENT IN STREET-LAMPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 127,685, dated June 11, 1872.
SPECIFICATION.
1, JOHN S. FISH, of Gleveland, in the county of Ouyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Street-Lamp, of which the following is a specification:
This invention relates to a lamp constructed to be used out of doors and to burn the lighter products of petroleum, giving a brilliant cheap light, and is described as follows:
In the drawing, Figure 1 is a side elevation, and Fig. 2 is a vertical section, of the abovenamed lamp.
Arepresents a street-lamp frame constructed in the usual form, the top of which, however, is so constructed that it will prevent the wind from blowing out the light. In the bottom of said frame is placed the fount of a lamp, made square and tapering so as to fit the frame. Said lamp consists of an outer case or jacket, B, 0 being the fount or body of the lamp for holding the oil or fluid. The space between the jacket and the fount is open at the bottom. The jacket B is designed to receive the heat from the sun and prevent the oil from becoming heated and wasted by evaporation. This precaution is necessary in the warm seasons of the year, but is of no special use in cold weather. Within the fount 0 stands a tube, D, having open spaces at the bottom, so that oil can pass inside of it. Placed inside of the tube D is a tapering cup, E, having a flange at the top which rests on the tube. At the top of said cup is a small annular chamber, 6, having several holes in the under side to admit the gas or vapor which may arise from the oil in the fount. To one side of the cup E is attached a thumb-rod, f, which passes through the small chamber a and a small tube, i, at tached to the top of the cup, and reaching up through the cover G of the jacket B. In the bottom of the wick-tube H, which is secured in the bottom of the cup E, are situated the wick-wheels K K, the wheels being connected with the thumb -rod f by gear-wheels m n. The object of placing the wick-wheels in the lower end of the tube is that there may not be any openings in the top of said tube,
which would allow the escape of gas and endanger the safety of the lamp. The burner O is attached to a tube, P, having its lower portion, below the top of the cup E, perforated. The lower end of the tube P fits closely in the bottom of the cup E, but is not fastened, and passes up through the cover G of the jacket B. The top of the cup E around the tube P is open, through which air may enter,passin g in through the perforations for feeding the flame of the burner. This serves to keep the oil cool in the fount and prevents its becoming heated by the burner. On the burner is placed a glass chimney, 0, in the ordinary manner. In the tube P above the cover G is made an opening, 9, having a small slide, 1', for covering the same. This opening is for the purpose of lighting and extinguishing the lamp. In the top of the frame A is placed a tube, S, open at both ends, and having a second tube, T, which telescopes in it, and havin g a funnel-shaped mouth with a flange fitting in the top of the chimney. Over the top of the tube S is placed a cap, U, secured to the dome of the lamp-frame A. This prevents wind from blowing down and extinguishing the light.
To remove the chimney the tube T may be pushed up so that the tapering portion will wedge in the tube S and remain; the chimney may then be taken out for cleaning or trimming of the wick.
Claim.
1. The combination of the wick-tube H, per
forth.
J. S. FISH.
