GEORGE FREDERICK FISHER, OF ST. J OHN, NEWV BRUL SWVIOK, CANADA.
LANTERN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 278,927, dated June 5, 1883. Application flled'Mar-ch a. 1883. (Modem To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE E. FISHER, of St. John, in the Province of New Brunswick and Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lanterns, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of my invention is to provide certain new and useful improvements in lanterns, to facilitate lighting the same and to render the lantern more durable.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.
Figure 1 is a longitudinal elevation of my improved lantern, parts being broken out and others shown in section. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of the upper part of a modification of the same.
A cylindrical casing, A, or cap, open at the bottom, is held by the funnel-tube B to the cross-pieces of the side tubes, 0, or side bars of a lantern in such a manner that the upper end of the glass globe D can pass within the said cap, which is of greater diameter than the upper end of the globe. The cap A is provided on one side with a longitudinal slot, E,
g or other aperture, through which the upper free end of a spring-strip, F, projects, which is fastened to one of the side tubes, 0. The spring-strip is provided at its upper end with two prongs, u, projecting toward the interior of the cap. The globe D, of the usual construction, is provided at the upper end with an annular bead or ridge, G. The globe rests on a perforated circular metal plate, H, in the usual manner. \Vhen the globe is lowered the lower prong a rests upon its upper edge and holds it in place. If the lantern is to be lighted, the upper end of the spring-strip is withdrawn from the cap A in the direction of the arrow a and the globe then can be raised slightly-say about one and one-eighth inch, or sufficiently to permit passing a match between the lower edge of the globe and the plate 11, to the burner. The globe can be held raised by releasing the spring when the ridge or bead G is above the prongs a. The bead G will then rest on the upper prong a, and will hold the globe raised.
In the modification shown in Fig. 2 the spring-strip F is provided at its upper end with a single prong or bend, a, which also rests on the upper edge of the globe D when the said globe is in its usual position. The globe is provided at its upper end with a collar, H, and when the globe is held in this position the spring-strip F is withdrawn in the direction of the arrow a to permit passing the upper end of the globe into the cap A, and after the globe has been raised to such an extent that the lower edge of the collar H will be above the prong a. spring is then released, its prong catches under the bottom edge of the collar H and holds the globe raised. As the spring F is fastened to the tube 0 in such a manner that it will not be affected by the heat, the lantern is made more durable than the tubular lanterns of the usual construction, inwhich the globe-holding spring is above the globe, exposed to the heat of the burner.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent In a lantern, the combination, with the glass globe having the annular bead G, of the open bottomed cap A, having the slot E, the funnel-tube B, and the side tubes, 0 O, carrying the springstrap F, all constructed and relatively arranged as shown and described.
GEORGE FREDERICK FISHER.
