LAMP BURNER.
Patented Deo. 13,1881.
Ivm/@M7072 UNITED STATES PATENT OEEICE.
ANTHONY P. STEINMEYER, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
LAM P-BURNER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 250,994, dated December 13, 1881. Application filed October 27, 1881. (No model.)
To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, ANTHONY P. STEIN- MEYER, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphiaand State of Pennsylvania, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp-Burners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and eX- act description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or gures of reference marked thereon,which form apart of this specification.
This invention has relation to the construction of the tops or burners of oil-lamps in general, but more particularly to that class in which gasoline is used as the illuminator.
The object of the invention is to simplify the construction and at the same time lessen the danger attendingthe use of said class oflamps;
and to that end the invention consists Inmaking the shade-holders of said lamps ot' tubing and utilizing the passage in said tube to supply air to the oil-chamber, rendered necessary bythe consumption ofthe oil in burning.
The invention further consists in providing awick-tube or burner with one or more deflectors, so arranged that the heat from the flame will be deected from the reservoir, thereby preventing it and wick-tube adjacent to it from becoming heated.
In the accompanying drawings, similar letters of reference indicate like parts of the invention.
Figure 1 is an elevation; Fig. 2, a sectional view of my improved burner, and Fig. 3 shows the shade in position.
Aisthe wick-tube, secured to the cap or top B, which is screwed into the lamp.
C C are the shade-holders, and are tubular, as shown in Fig. 2.
D D are the deectors, and the rays of heat and light from the burner will be detlected by them, as indicated by the arrows in Fig. 1.
The shade-holders C C are secured to the cap B in the same manner as the Wick-tube A.
The defiectors D are provided with collars d, which encircle the wick-tube and clasp it sufficiently tight to admit of their remaining in any position to which they may be adjusted.
By reference to the construction of my burner it will be seen that the air used to replenish the oil-chamber is taken from a point remote from the source of the heat, and it is, moreoveigtaken in on the outside of the shade, and consequently the supplied air is cold, or at least practically cool, and the danger of gas being generated in the oil-chamber avoided.
Y With regard to the deflectors, while their prime object is to deiiect the heat from the oilchamber, they also serve as reectors, and the light which would be spent and wasted downward is taken up by them and refiected horizontally, so as to utilize it to its greatest extent. One or more of these reflectors may be used, and they may be adjustable, so as to be slipped up or down on the Wick-tube, and held in any desired position by friction.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and useful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. In combination with a lamp-burner, a shade-holder made of tubing and arranged to admit air through its tubes into the reservoir, as set forth.
2. The combination,in a lamp-burner, ofthe cap B, provided with the wick-tube A, upon which is adjustably secured the deector D d, and the tubes O, arranged to supportthe shade, as set forth.
In testimony whereof 1 afx my signature in presence of two witnesses.
ANTHONY P.` STEINMEYER.
