IMPROVEMENT IN LANiP-BURNERS.`

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 148,794, dated March 17, 1574; application filed February 18, 1874.

[o all whom 'it may concern:

15e it known that I, SAMUEL R.W1LMoT,of Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented an Improvement in Lamp-Burners, of which the following is a speciiication:

This invention consists in a novel construction of the supports which sustain the deilector, and arrangement of the same relatively with the base and deiector of the burner, whereby better provision is made for cleaning the base, and the detlector supports and wicktube are made to stiften one another; likewise an extended support is given to the deilector without interfering with the cleaning of the base. Y

In the accompanying drawing, Figure l represents a side view of a lamp-burner constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the same on the line a' x, and Fig. 3 a vertical section thereof.

A is the deilector; B, the wick-tube; and C the air-distributer or base of the burner, all made of sheet metal in the usual or any suitable manner. D is the screw body or cup, and E the wick-lifter. F F are the supports which These supports, which or otherwise.

shaped to conform, for some distance above the base C, to the outer edges or sides of the wick-tube I3, which they receive closely within them and serve to brace, and the tube by such arrangement to stiften or brace them, thereby mutually supporting one another. Abovc Where the supports F thus embrace the sides of the tube7 they are branched oft', as at b b, to give an extended bearing or support to the dei'lector.

Thisbranching of the supports from a point above the base, instead of from the base itself, in nowise interferes with the facility for cleaning the base, which the close embracing of the Wick-tube by the supports, as above described, possesses over or as compared with posts from the` base as commonly used; also, said construction and arrangement oi' the supports and their branches contribute materially to the general stiffness or strength ofthe burner.

I claim-'- In combination with the screw-body D, wicktube B, air-distributer C, and the deflector A, the supports F, connected at their lower ends to the screw-body D, and extending up along and branching from the wick-tube to form the arms b for supporting the deilector, in the manner herein shown and described.
