UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN W. COOPER, OF SALEM, INDIANA.
IMPROVEMENT IN ALCOHOL- LAMPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 201,913, dated April 2, 1878; application filed March 1, 1878.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN WILLIAM COOPER, of Salem, in the county of Washington and State of Indiana, have invented a new and Improved Alcohol-Lamp, of which the following is a specification:
Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly in section, of my improved lamp. Fig. 2 is a front elevation, having a part broken away to more clearly show the construction.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
My invention relates to alcohol-lamps for soldering and similar purposes; and it consists in a reservoir pivoted in a supportingframe, and provided with two wick-tubes.
It also consists in an extinguisher secured to a spring-support, and capable of closing the larger wick-tube when it is in a vertical position, and in an independent extinguisher for the smaller wick-tube.
It also consists in a novel device for projecting the wick from the larger tube as it is moved out of a vertical position.
Referring to the drawing, A is a frame consisting of two similar side pieces, a 12, connected by the curved bars 0. In this frame a cylindrical reservoir, B, having convex heads, is pivoted axially.
A tube, 0, projects from one side of the reservoir B, and to it is fitted a wick-tube, D, which'projects downward into the reservoir. One side of the tube 0 is slotted, and one end of a wire, d, projects through the slot into the side of the tube D. The other end of the wire d is bent in the opposite direction, and is jointed to an arm, e, that projects from the side piece a.
A small Wick-tube, E, is secured in the side of the reservoir near and parallel to the tube (3. The tube E projects above the tube O.
A curved arm, f, is attached to the side piece a, and a plate, g, which is fitted to the tube 0, is connected with the said arm by a spring, h. An arm, 2', is hinged to the plate g and attached to a cap, j, that is fitted to the small wick-tube E.
The reservoir B is provided with a fillingaperture, is, which is closed by the screw-cap Z.
The wick in the smaller tube may be kept constantly burning. When the larger wick is to be used thereservoim B is turned on its pivots until the tube 0 is removed from under the plate g, and the wick-tube D is projected from the tube 0 by the action of the wire d, when the larger wick will be lighted from the smaller one. 7
As the tube 0 is returned to a vertical position the wick-tube D is drawn into the tube 0, and the larger flame is extinguished, while the smaller one continues to burn.
When it is desired to extinguish the smaller flame the cap j is placed over the end of the smaller wick-tube. The smaller flame may be used independently of the larger one for the smaller kinds of work.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. An alcohol-lamp having a pivoted reservoir, a movable wick-tube, and a fixed wicktube, substantially as shown and described.
2. The combination of the stationary extinguishing-plate g and the lamp having the pivoted reservoir B, as shown and described.
3. The combination of the supporting-frame A, pivoted reservoir B, having the fixed tube 0, sliding wick-tube D, and wire 07, substantially as shown and described.
4. The combination of the hinged arm i, cap j, and wick-tube E, substantiallyas shown and described. v
