IMPROVEMENT IN LANTERN-GUARDS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 136,782, dated March 11, 1873.
' and Improved Lantern-Guard; and I do hereby declare that the. following is a full, clear, and complete description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing making a part of the same.
Figure 1 is a side View of a lantern-guard. Figs. 2 and 3 are detached sections. 7
Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several views. Y
The nature of this invention relates to the construction of lantern-guards, the uprights of which consist of bent or lapped wire, having one or more eyes to receive the circular ring or rings of said'guard. The object of said invention is to construct the joints of said. guard or framein a neat, simple, and durable manner. The followingisamore full and complete description of the construction of said guard.
In the drawing, Fig. 1, A represents the ribs of the guard, a detached view of which is shown in Fig. 2. Each rib consists of apiece of half-round wire, which is bent double,
thereby bringing the two flat surfaces together, as shown'in Fig. 3. The bent end of the rib is formed into an eye, B, and about midway between the two ends is formed another eye, 0, Figs. 2 and 3, through which the circle D of round wire is passed, as shown in Fig. l,
constituting the middle horizontal brace of the guard. A similar horizontal circular brace, E, is passed through the eye B of the ribs, as shown in Fig. 1, thereby completing the guard, the lower ends of which are then secured to the brace E of the lantern. The horizontal braces are prevented from slipping in the ribs by being soldered thereto, either by hand or by dipping the guard in molten solder, which also increases the strength and rigidity of the frame. This manner of constructing the joints of the guard-frame is simple and easily done it is also neat in appearance, strong, and durable.
Heretofore the ribs A have been perforated to receive the guards and attached to the rim at the top in a similar manner, but perforating the end of a wire and passing another through it is liable to split the wire; whereas by my improved method the eye atthe top is supported by the whole strength of the metal being bent to form the eye, as described.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isg The ribs A, formed of half-round wire, and bent to form the eyes B 0,; an d used in connection with the circular braces D E, as and for the purpose set forth. 1
