WICK-TUBE FORV SPECIFICATION forming para of Letters LAMP-BURNERS.
.Patent No. 278,295, dated May '22, 1883.. 4
Application filed November 8, 1882. (No model.)
.Todll whom fit may concern: Y Y u Be it known that I, LYMAN ToEEY, a citizen invented certain new and useful Improvements in .Wick-Tubes for LamplBurners; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and
enable others skilled in the art to which it apbeing had totheaccompanying drawings, and
thereon, which form a part of this specifica- This invention relates to an improved wicktube for lamp-burners, by which an ordinary light may be turned down to a smallround vention consists in providing the upper edge nick and turning the edges outward to frm wings, as hereinafter more fully described and `The invention is illustrated in the annexed drawings, Ain which Figure 1 is a perspective the attached parts, showing the appearance of sameare turned outward. Figs. Zand 3 are outtoform wings. A
`Like lettersdcsignate like parts. y
.p Incarrying my invention into effect I provide the upper edge of the flat wick-tube A on `each `side with a notch, a, that is located centrally, as shown, and may be formed by obvious that when the lighted-wick is turned down the central portiouof the wick between the oppositelydocated notches a ct will continue to burn after the ame at the outer edges of the wickis extinguished. I- thus get a.
small round tlame or taper from an ordinary lamp-wick. may be straight across, as shown in Fig. l, convex, as shown in Fig.2, or concave, as shown in Fig. 3, and the notch may be either rectan- The upper edge of the wiektube gular, as showninFig.1,or V-shaped,asshown t in Figs. 2 and 3; or it may be of a rounded or other convenient outline. The edge ofthe wicktube adj acent to th e notches a a is bent outward to form wings b b, as `shown in Fig. 4; or the lwings may be formed by simplynicking or slitting the wick-tube for a short distance and then turning the wings outward. This construction ot' wick-tube does not injure the tube for ordinary purposes when burning a full dame, but rather, by concentration of the flame at the center, it tends to obviate liability of breaking the chimney. The wings or anges b b serve as fenders to protect the flame and prevent.
flickering when the wick is turned down to` burn low, and they also add considerable to the volumel of theame when the wick is turned up. y
` Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, ist i A wick-tube having its upper edges notched or slitted and provided with `wings b b, substantially as shown and described.
` In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
LYMAN TOBEY.
