IMPROVEMENT IN CAR-LAMPS.
n Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 141,856, dated August 19, 1873; application filed June 7, 1873.
To all whom it may'concru:
Be it known that I, JAMES E. Onoss, of Adrian, in the county of Lenawee and State of Michigan, have invented an Improved Gar- Lamp; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyin g drawings making part of this specification, in Which- Figure 1, Plate l, is a front view of my improved lamp. Fig. 2, Plate 2, is a side sectional view of the same. Y
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
This invention has for its object the improvement of car-lamps by the employment of an open supportingbracket for the lamp and globe which will allow access to la wick-adjusting device Without removing the lamp from its support.
` In the accompanying drawings, A represents the body of a lamp, and a a finger-pieces for retracting the spring-catches b. The adjusting device for thewick consists of a milled circular ilange, c, which, with its portion, c', and an annular toothed portion, e, can be freely rotated, which rotation is communicated to a spur-wheel, f, on the stem of the wick-adjusting spurs. These parts above described are common and well known in carlamps, and are not herein claimed. B represents an annular bracket-support, which is held by arms E, and to which the lamp-body A is attached by means of the catches b. At
a proper height above this bracket-support B, and connected to it, are standards old in an annular gallery, C, which is constructed with an annular recess, g, for receiving the bottom collar of a glass globe, D, as shown in Fig. 2. The space between the rings B and C should be suflicient to allow a person to introduce his lingers and turn the milled tlange c, thus adjusting the wick.
I do not contine myself to the particular wick-adjusting device, as any Well-known adjusting device may be used with my open lamp and globe-bracket.
The tube Gr is secured rigidly to a bracketarm, E', and a sufficient space is left between its lower end and the gallery C for allowing the globe D to be adjusted in proper position on the said gallery.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
An open globe and lamp supporting bracket, B C, for allowing access through it to a wick* adjusting device, substantially as described.
JAMES E. CROSS.
