One oit the specilic objects is to provide means whereby the colored signal plate may be alternately eXposedand concealed as may be required to give either aclear signaler a colored signal from thejsame lamp.
` Another object is to provide means whereby the supportingtrame for thejplatefinay be easily and quickly attached'fto or detached placing any ofthe parts of the lantern.
Other objects and uses relatingto specific parts ot the attachment will be brought out in the following description.
