tAppiiesiden fiiea January as, iaee.v lseiliaino. 423,999;
the standard 6 includes a relatively elongated' solidportion.` 8.I U f i 4 l e standard 6 is preferably made of metal and'th'e' intermediate portion thereof is suitably shaped, while the Isolid portions 7 and 8 arel suitably carved and. otherwise formed and shaped for enhancing the appearance of the` standard. r i l Thus asshown in the drawiiigs the base 5 aiidrstandard 6 will present an attractive and decorativeappearance. An elongated rod 9 extends'throughthe standard 6 and base 5. Socket member 10 is tlireaded 'on the lower end of'the'rod 9` beneath the base 5 and the socketsomember 10 has threaded therein the s 7 Upper eiid'of an anchor bar 11.V The bar 11 Other objects and aclvantages of the inven-l IA nut .12Wis suitably secured onthe upper i end'of the rod 9. A substantially cup-shaped member 13 hasan aperturecl bottomwall the aperture 15 of which is internally threaded i for threaded engagement with the threaded.
reduced portion 14: of the nut 12. (See Figure 7.) At-its openupper end the cup shaped` member 13 merges into an'outstanding annular flange upon which is formed an upstanding annular rim 16.'
v v The cup shapedmember 13 maybe decorated exteriorly as suggested in Figurel or may be of somewliat polygonal cross section as suggested in F igure 3. Any manner of shanino', orr otherwise decoratin the'jcu shaped member 13'as to enhance and beauti'fy its; appearance maybe utilized. An open ended glass cylinder'17z'hasltlie lower end t-hereof'disposed .within the confineof Othe rim 16, the lower edge of ``theyeylinder restingupon .the horizontally idisposed annular `flange[portion of the cup f'13, which annular fiaiige portion is designated by the reference character 13'.
Forsecuringthe glass cylinde-r upon'the. cup ineinber'13iset screws 18 are threaded through suitable apertures provided therefor iii fthe'riiiil 16, and the inner end of thefset screws -18 bight orbear against the wallof the cylinder. vIf desired, the cylinder 17Wmay be of anydecorative nature. Acap 19 pref- 25, 27 of the Cradle as indicated at 29.
erably formed of metal fits over the upper end of the cylinder 17 for closing said upper end.
The cap 19 has a disk like body portion merging into a down turned annular fiange or rim 20. Suitable spring members 21 are secured to the rim at spaced circumferential points tliereon for frictional engagement with the upper edge of the cylinder 17 for retaining the cap on the upper end of the cylinder.
The disk like body portion of the cap merges into a centrally located raised crown portion 22. An annular series of air holes 23 are formed in the upper end portion of the crown 22.
l Connecting members 26fa-nd 27 respectively.
An annular rimmed pan 28 is mounted in the lower end of the sling or Cradle 24 and is bolted or otherwise secured to the end member 'Adapted for disposition within the pan 28 is a glass cup or container 30. The cup 30 is adapted to receive a suitable candle fitting conforniably therein or in lieu of a candle v slow burning oil.
A. siibstantially dome shaped plate 31 has mounted thereon a cross 32 and other decorations such as angels or the like 33. Athreaded bolt 34 depends downwardly from the plate 31. The plate 31 is adapted to rest on the Crown 22vof`the cap 19, the bolt 34 extendves` ing through a suitable opening provided tllerefor in'the top of the crown 22.r
The top member 26 of thel sling or cradle 24 is provided with a Vertical bore 35 through which the bolt 34 extends and a. nut 36 is threaded on the lower end of the bolt.
In practice then it will be seen that the upper end of the sling 24 fits snngly within the cap 19 and the sling extends downwardly into the cylinder 17 with the bottom member 27 of the sling resting in the cup shaped member 13.
In that einbodinient of the invent-ion shown `in Figures 3 and 9 the globe instead of being cylindrical as in the aforementioned embodiment of the invention, is in this instance, in the form of apolygonal caslng.
TheV polygonal shaped globe or casing is designated generally by the reference character 37, Said casin'g 37 comprisesa suitable metallic frame structure designated generally by the reference character 38 within which frame structure are mounted a plurality of glass panels 39. The globe or casing 37 tapers toward its lower end and is open at its top and bettem- The lower end of the eaeng fits within the contines of the rim 16 of the cupshaped member 13 and supported on top of the casillg is a 1,s19,7ss
suitable cap 40. The cap 40 may be of any suitable structure preferably similar to the cap 19, in that it is provided with an apertured dome 41 upon which is supported and secured in any suitable manner the plate 31 carrying the cross 32 and the mannikin 33.
Preferably, when using the polygonal shaped casing 37 which casing is also opened at its front, having a door 42 hinged in the opened front of'tlie casing, the sling 24 is dispensed with. In leu .of the sling, and as shown to advantage in F igure 4, the pan 28 has its bottom resting on a collar 29 on the upper threaded end of the rod 9. In this instance, the upper threaded end of the rod 9 is extended up into the cup Shaped member 13 and the pan 28 is secui'cd to the upper threaded end of the rod 9 through the medium of a suitable nut 43 threaded on said upper end of the rod.
Of course mounted in the pan 28 will be the glass cup or container 30 in the usnal Inanner.
From the foregoing then it will be seen that I have devised a thoroughly practical torchre especially adaptable for usein cemeteries whereby a light may be kept burning for a considerablc length of time over a grave Without continnal attendance. It will be also appreciated, that a torchere einbodying the features of the present invention, is simple in construction, consists of but comparatively few parts, can be readily assembled or disassembled, and when assenibled will present a veryrattractive and pleasing appearance fully in keeping with the purpose for which it is designed.
Even though I have herein shown and describcd the preferred embodiment-s of my invention, it is to be understood that the invention is susceptible to changes fully .Coniprehended by the spirit of the inventionas herein described, and the scope of the appended claim. i
Having thus describediny invention, what I claini as new is In a torch of the character described, a base, a hollow standard rising from'the base, a globe on the upper end of said standard having its upper end open, a cap fitted over the open end of the globeand being provided withispring fingers for releasably seeuring the cap in position, said cap having a dome rising from its center, a canopy resting upon the dome, a sling fitted in said globe having an open pan with an upstanding rim, a container in said pan, and means Connecting the said slingand said cap to the canopy for removalfrom the globe as a unit.
In testirnony whereof I aftix my signature.
