Wick-ln serter for Lamps.
Patented Jan. 26, 1875.
UNITED STATES PATENT QFFIOE.
WILLIAM H. FITZ PATRICK, OF BOSTON, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF HIS RIGHT TO ALBERT W. DANIELS, OF ALLSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVEMENT IN WICK-INSERTERS FOR LAMPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 159,17 1, dated January 26, 1875; application filed December 4, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. FITZ PAT- RICK, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk, State of Massachusetts, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Wick-Inserters for Lamps, of which the following is a description sufliciently full, clear, and exact to enable any person skilled in the art or science to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a sectional view, showing my improved wick-inserter in position for use.
My invention relates more especially to that class of lamps which are adapted to burning kerosene or the hydrocarbon oils 5 and consists in an auxiliary or supplemental tube having a flaring mouth-piece, and provided with a shaft and spur-wheels, as hereinafter fully set forth and claimed, by which a simpler, cheaper, and more effective device of this character is produced than is now in common use.
In the drawing, A represents a lamp-burner provided with the parachute or inclined annular flange B and tube 0, in the usual manner. The supplemental tube D is constructed to be slipped easily over the top of the tube 0, and is provided with the spur-wheels g g, disposed on the shaft F, and has its upper end flared to form a mouthpiece, as shown at E. The spur-wheels work in slots or apertures in one side of the tube, and correspond with the ordinary wick-wheels used in the main tube of most kerosene-lamps.
From the foregoing thenature and operation of my invention will be readily under stood by all conversant with such matters.
In the use of my improvement, the tube D is slipped over the tube 0, as shown in the drawing. The wick is then inserted through the flaring mouth-piece E until caught by the wheels 9 g, which are turned by the shaft F, forcing the wick downward into the tube 0 until caught by the wickwheels (not shown) on the shaft H, when the shafts F H should be turned conjointly until the wick has passed below the wheels 9 g, after which the tube D may be removed.
It will be obvious that the mouth-piece E renders the insertion of the wick comparatively easy; and also, that the tube D may be so constructed as to readily adapt it to lamps of various sizes.
Having thus described myinvention, what I claim is The improved wick -inserter described, the same consisting of the tube D, having the flaring mouth-piece E, and provided with the wheels 9 g and shaft F, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
WILLIAM H. FITZ PATRICK.
