THOMAS LINDSAY MOORE, OF SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.
LANTERN-TOP.
Application filed. September 16, 1919.
T 0 all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, THOMAS LINDSAY Moonn, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Antonio, in the county of Bexar and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Lantern-Top, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to lantern top and more particularly to improved ventilating means to be employed in connection with lamps or lanterns that are frequently exposed to strong winds or air currents.
An object of this invention is to provide a lamp or lantern top embodying means for admitting sufficient air into the lamp or lantern for proper ventilation; but will, when exposed to high winds or strong air currents, prevent a strong draft from blowing directly against the wick of the lantern.
Another object of this invention is to provide a lantern top of generally improved construction, 7 whereby the device will be simple, durable and inexpensive in construc tion, as well as convenient, practical, serviceable and eiiicient in its use.
With the above and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangements of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that, precise embodiment of the invention shown can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. I
The invention has been illustrated in its preferred embodiments in the accompanying drawing wherein:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improved lantern top;
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2'.
Referring to the drawing wherein is shown a lantern top of usual configuration comprising a cylindrical portion 5 having a flaring apron 6 extending from its lower terminal, and the upper terminal of the cylindrical portion 5 has a convex or bulbous end wall 7. The usual spring latch or look 8 is Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 5, 1920.
Serial No. 324,142.
carried by the apron 6 for securing the top to the usual lantern structure, not shown.
The invention includes two perpendicularly disposed, perforated tubes 9 which are diametrically disposed within the cylindrical member 5 adjacent the top thereof. Apertures 10 are formed in the convex top and these apertures coincide or register with the outer ends of the perforated tubes 9, thereby providing continuous openings or avenues through the tubes 9. Opposed openings 11 are formed in the intermediate portion of each tube 9, thereby defining opposed relatively narrow strips 12. The strips 12 of one of the tubes 9 are slightly spread apart to admit the other tube 9, thus allowing the tubes to be crossed intermediate their ends without interrupting the avenue or passageway through either.
This arrangement provides suflicient com municaticn between the interior of the lantern and the surrounding atmosphere to insure the steady burning of the fuel at the wick; but if strong winds are blowing the air currents pass through the tubes 9 and therefore do not disturb or extinguish the flame within the lantern.
Having thus described my invention what is claimed:
A lantern top having diametrically opposed apertures formed therein, perpendicularly disposed perforated tubes extending diametrically through the lantern top and having their terminals in registration with the apertures, said tubes having opposed openings formed intermediate their ends,
. thereby defining opposed relatively narrow strip 12 and the strips of one of the tubes are slightly spread apart to admit the other tube, thereby allowing the tubes to be crossed intermediate their terminals and pro-. viding uninterrupted avenues through both tubes.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
THOMAS LINDSAY MOORE.
