IMPROVEMENT IN LAMPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 211,850, dated February 4, 1879 application filed October 21, 1878.
To all who/h it may concern:
Be it known that I, WALTER M. JACKSON, of the city and county of Providence, and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Lamps; and l hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, andexactdescription of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.
This invention has reference to improvements in coal-oil or other lamps in which oil is burned that may under favorable conditions explode. It is also applicable to oil-stoves and consists in a novel burner attachment for preventing the accumulation of explosive gases within the oil-receptacle of a lamp or oil-stove, as willbe more fully set forth hereinafter, and pointed out in the claim.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional View of my improved lamp, and Fig. 2 a view of the detachable cylinder.-
(t represents the body of the lamp or oil-reservoir; b, the wick-tube, extending from the diaphragm c to the burner. b is the wick. c is a diaphragm, which, with the diaphragm c and the sides, forms a gas-tight chamber, through which the wick-tube passes, and in which the wick-regulating wheel is located. (Z are holes for admitting air to the burner. g is the central cylinder, made preferably of glass or other transparent material. It is secured to the milled rim It, provided with the screw-thread h, in which the air-passages i i are made, as shown, and can be readily secured to the lamp proper, extending downward to near the bottom, and thus dividing the oil within the cyl inder g from the main body of the oil contained in the lamp, and also confining any explosive gas within the cylinder g,- and as the diaphragms c and 6 completely separate the flame from the gases or oil in the tube g, the lamp becomes practically non-explosive.
Having thus described my invention, Iclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The' combination, with a lamp-burner, of a ring having an imperforate cylinder secured to its lower end, the lower portion of said ring provided with screw-threads for its at tachment to the lamp, the screw-threaded portion being slotted vertically, and the shoulder of the ring slotted horizontally, to constitute passages t' for the escape of gases from within the lamp, substantially as set forth.
