LIGHTING MEANS.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented S te pt. 7,
- Application filed May 10, 1917. Serial No. 167,725,
To all wkomz't may concern:
Be it known that I, ETHAN I. Donns, av citizen of the United States, and a resident of Pittsburgh, in the county of Allegheny 5 and State. of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lighting Means; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will en- 1 able others skilled in the art to which it apof light, will become luminous and rema n so for an appreciable period of time, and radiate the light so produced and stored.
With this object .in view, the invention consists in certain novel features as hereinafter set forth and pointed out in the claim. The accompanying drawing is a view in section showing an embodiment of my in vention. v
1 represents a transparent globe having on its interior surface a thin coating 2 of phosphorescent material which will absorb light rays and emit the same for a period of time, The material which I propose to use consists of a suitable oxid or zinc or calcium sulfid having mixed therewith an infinitesimal quantity of radium, which may be'in the form of a salt of radium. The amount of I radium used may be so. small that the globe will not be luminous in the dark, but when a light is placed in the globe, for a brief perlod, the rays will be absorbed by the coating, the scintillations darting back and forth, and the coating and therefore the 40 globe will be rendered luminous and will remain so for an appreciable period after the artificial light shall have been extinguished or removed.

' A flash of light within the globe will Sui fice to excite the luminating coating and such flashes. may be repeated as occasion may require, or the coating might be energized with the use of sunlight.
The coated: globe 1 may besealed by a cup 3 which carries an incandescent electric lamp 4,--said cup. containing an electro- PATENT" OFF-ICE,
magnet 5, the coil ofwhicli may be included in series with the lamp filament in an electric circuit containing a switch 6, or if desired, a
permanent magnet may beemployed,- The switch may be held normally open by a spring 7. The light-absorbing coating in-the globe is thus brought within the zone' of magnetic lines of force and,I ha. ve found that the brilliancyof,theglowof the coatin will thereby be enhanced.
