UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN W. HAINES, OF CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS.
DECORATING GLASS LAMPS SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 225,701, dated March 23, 1880.
Application filed December 29, 1879.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN W. HAINEs, of Cambridge, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Decorating Glass Lamps, of which the following is a specification.
This improvement relates to that class of lamps usually burning kerosene oil whose standards are ornamental in design; and my improved lamp is intended as a substitute for those whose standards or posts consist partly of glass, lmitation porcelain, 850., ornamented upon their outer surfaces by painting, external decoration, decalcomaniework, &c. Lamps having glass standards thus decorated or ornamented are quite expensive and beyond the means of the larger class of people.
My improved lamp has a cylindrical flintglass standard, within which, adhering or not to the inner surface of the glass, is a sheet of paper or similar substance ornamented in any manner-as by chromo-work, for instance.
In the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts, Figure 1 is an elevation of a lamp embodying my improvement. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is a cross-section of the glass standard containing the picture.
0. represents a tube or pipe of ordinary flintglass, which forms the standard or post of a table-lamp. b c are caps or sockets holding the glass. 01 is the oil-reservoir, and e is the base. All the above parts are held together by a rod, f, and nut g, theformer passing from the reservoir 62, through the parts I) a c, and into the base 0.
In the lamp upon which mine is an improvement, or for which it is a substitute, the glass standard a would be made of expensive glass and externally decorated by hand-painting or some other costly process. The cost of the lamp is thereby greatly enhanced; and the glass portion being the part naturally clasped by the hand in lifting or moving the lamp, the ornamentation is liable to be worn off in greater or less time. Of course washing the glass produces the same result.
In my lamp Iemploy cheap transparent glass, at, and lay within it a lining of ornamented paper, gsuch as an attractive chromo, for example.
It will be seen that this can be done very cheaply, and at the same time a much hand-v somer standard be produced, and one which will bear unlimited handling and washing.
One or more pictures may be placed within the glass standard, and they may be made to adhere or not to the glass. In case they do not adhere the pictures can be changed from time to time, if desired, by removing the nut g and taking the lamp apart.
Having thus fully described my improvement, I do not claim that the placing of apictorial piece of paper within or behind glass is new in itself considered; but
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In a table or center lamp, the combination, with the oil receptacle and base, of the transparent tubular standard a, and lining or backing g, arranged and constructed as described, and the several parts being firmly held together, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
JOHN W. HAINES.
