THOMAS LAWRENCE, ABSOLOM O. STRATTON, AND JAMES M. VOLF, OF MOUNTAIN HOME, ARKANSAS.
POCKET-LAMP AND FRICTION-LIGHTER COIVIBINED.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 246,794, dated September 6, 1881.
Application filed June 22, 1881.
T o all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, THOMAS LAWRENCE, ABsoLoM O. S'rnATToN, and JAMES M. WOLF, ot' Mountain Home, in the county of Baxter and State ot Arkansas, have invented a new and Improved Pocket-Lamp and Friction- Lighter Combined, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of our invention is the production of a cheap, safe, and reliable re-lighting device to be used in theplaceot' ordinary matches, the same being intei'lded more especia-lly for outdoor use.
Theinvention consists, principally, of acord saturated or coated with some easily-ignitible substances or mixture and a lamp, both contained in asuitable small case or box, the cord being adapted to be drawn out, as it is used for lighting,` the lamp, through a small aperture, which aperture is protected withahinged or sliding cover.
The invention further consists of' means for rendering the device water-prooi', and ot` details ot' construction, as hereinafter fully described.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side elevation ot' our invention. Fig. 2 is a central section of Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a top view with the hinged cover thrown back. Fig. 4is a section ot' a modiiieation, showing the means whereby the device is made water-proof; and Fig. 5 is a top viewot' the same with the cov-er and plate removed.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A represents the case or box, which is preferably of sheet metal.
B represents the lamp, which may be of glass or metal; and U represen ts the cord, which is saturated or coated with a mixture composed mainly of phosphorus, chlorate ot' potash, common glue, sulphur, and whitelead, or some other easily-ignitible substance, and is coiled in the box A, with the outer end of it passing up through the small aperture a in the stationary cover of the box, and rests upon the slotted plate a', in close proximity to the wick b of the lamp.
To the rear end of the plate a is attached the cover d, the lip c of which, when closed,
(No model.)
enters the slot i of the plate for holding the cover closed, and for another purpose herein after stated.
The wick b ot the lanip is held in the tube c, which tube is slotted at its lower end and rests upon the bottom of the lam p, and is provided above the oil and at the lower part of the neck of the lamp with the stopper e, for preventing` the escape ot' oil from the lamp, and when the wick is not lighted the extinguishergis placed over the tube and iixed rmly within the upper part of the neck of the lamp, as shownin Fig. l, which also serves to prevent the escape of' oil both from the tube and the neck of the lamp.
In using the device t-he extinguisherg is iirst removed, and the wick and cord drawn out the necessary length to come near to each other, as shown in Fig. 2; and we provide suitable tweezers for this purpose, or a wick-wheel may be provided.
The end of the cord may now be ignited by giving it a blow with the tweezers, or otherwise, the plate a serving as a sort of anvil to receive the blow.
dhen the wiclr of the lamp becomeslighted from the cord the cord is to be snuft'ed oli' by the lip z' of the cover by pressing upon the cover with the thumb. The lamp will now burn continuously, or until the purpose for which it was lighted has been accomplished, when it may be extinguished by replacing the extinguisher g, or otherwise.
To render the device water-proof we construct the parts as shown in Figs. 4 and -that is to say, we provide the chamberh,whichisfo'rmed between the plate a and the top of the box, with the small perforated roller j, upon which a yard or more ot' the prepared cord is wound for immediate use, the remainder of the cord being held in reserve in the box, the upper end of it being retained above the top of the box, and the whole protected from dampness by the removable plate It, as shown in Fig. 4.
In this construction we prefer to arrange the cover d to slide, and for this purpose we provide the extension Z, which fits in the loop d', forward on the under side ot' the cover. The plate 7o is held in place under the cover d by the extension 7s', as shown in Fig. 4. hen
the supply upon the rollerj becomes exhausted or unfit from any cause for use another supply maybe Wound upon the reel from the cord in the box, which is always dry and readyfor use.
Instead of making the case of metal,thesame may be made of waterproofed paper or papiermach or other similar material; and when the box is made of tin or similar metal the sliding door L should be provided for placing the supply of cord in the box.
Having thus fully described our invention, what We claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. rlhe casing` A, containingthelamp B and the supply of ignitible cord C, in combination with the cover d, having lip and the slotted plate a', substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The casing A, containing the lamp B and the supply of ignitible cord C, in combination 2o with the reel j, removable plate k, cover d, and slotted plate a', substantially as and for the purposes specified.
