SANCTUARY LAMP. 7
Application filed August 8, 1925. Serial No. 49,039.
T 0 all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT C. NORTON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Sanctuary Lamp, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to lamps and particularly to an improved lamp for churches, the object being to provide a simplified construction of lamp wherein a candle may be used instead of the usual oil heretofore used.
Another object of the invention is to pro vide a lamp known in certain churches as a sanctuary lamp wherein means are provided for utilizing a candle and causing the candle to automatically shift so that the light will be in the same place at all times. A still further object is to provide a sanctuary lamp which may be provided with a base for setting on a support or with a base to be mounted on a swinging structure, the parts being also arranged so that the glass casing may be readily removed for adding a new candle from time to time.
In the accompanying drawing- Figure 1 is an elevation partly in section, showing an embodiment of the invention.
Figure 2 is a reduced side view showing a slightly modified structure wherein the lamp is swinging.
In the accompanying drawing, 1 is a base of any desired kind provided with impressed threads 2 coacting with the threads 3 formed on the glass body A. The body 4.-
of any desired length and at the p may be upper end is formed with a restricted section 5 which is formed with an annular shoulder 6 from which extends the section 7 acting as a chimney through which the flame 8 projects its rays of light. Arranged interiorly of the body l is a, candle 9 of a desired material formed of a size to press against the shoulder 6 and to loosely fit in the restricted portion 5. The candle 9 is,
of course, supplied with a wick 10. At the lower end, the candle 9 is fitted into a cup 11 designed to act as an immediate support p for the candle and also as means for catching any drip from the upper end. In addition, the cup 11 is continually urged upwardly by a s ring 12, which spring rests upon part of tie base 1. The spring 12 is or such a structure that it will readily expand when permitted to do so and move the cup 11 upwardly until the upper edge of the cup strikes the shoulder 6. In this way, the uper end of the candle 9 is continually pressed against the shoulder 6 notwithstanding the consumption of the candle by the flame 8. By reason of this fact the flame 8 is always maintained in the same place and the candle 9 as it is consumed is gradually moved upwardly. After the candle has been completely or almost completely consumed, it will be necessary to supply a new candle and in order to do this body l is grasped and rotated until it is unscrewed from base 1. A new candle and a new cap are preferably then inserted on top of the spring 12 and then the spring pressed downwardly as the body 4 is slipped over the candle and pressed downwardly to be again screwed into the base 1.
In many instances, the base 1 is not desired but when this is the case a slightly modified form of base 1 is provided WhlCll is similar to base 1 except that the lower part is removed and then closed. The base 1 fits into a suitable member 18 supported by suitable chains 14:, members 13 and 14 being more or less elaborate according to the design of the church in which it is positioned.
What I claim is:
1. A sanctuary lamp, comprising a body formed with a shoulder near the upper end and a glass chimney adjacent said shoulder, a candle arranged in the body with the uper end pressing against said shoulder so that the flame from the candle will be opposite the chimney, a spring acting on the lower end of the candle for continually holding the candle against said shoulder, and a base removably connected with said body, said base acting to support said spring.
2. A sanctuary lamp, comprising a glass body formed with a shoulder near the upper end and a chimney adjacent said shoulder, a candle arranged in the body with the uper end pressing against said shoulder so that the flame from the candle will always be opposite the chimney, a drip pan fitted under the bottom of the candle, a spring acting on said drip pan for continually holding the candle against said shoulder,
and a base removably connected With said body, said base acting to support said spring.
3. A sanctuary lamp, comprising a base haying a threaded tubular portion, a removable glass body formed with threads at one end normally screwed into said threaded tubular portion, said body being formed with an annular shoulder near the upper end merging into a flaring chimney,
part of the upper end of a candle When the lamp is in use, and means in the body acting to maintain the candle in contact With said shoulder whereby the flame Will be con- 15 tinually opposite said chimney.
