LANTERN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent NQ'SDTBBS, dated March 2%, 1885.

Application filed March 25, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM H. Kansas and CLARENCE E. SMITH, of St. Louis, county of St. Louis, and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Lanterns; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use it, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof.

Our invention relates to an improvement in tubular lanternsthat is, a lantern provided with draft-tubes on each side, made in the manner shown in drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side olevation'of a lantern Fig. 2 is a derail view of draft-plates. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the lantern, showing the globe and supporting parts thrown out of the way, giving access to the burner for lighting, trimming, or other purpose. Fig, 4 is a top view of the lantern with the cap D removed and showing the tilting disk. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the tilting disk and circular disks se cured thereto. Fig. 6 is a section of the tilting and circular disks and circular bearings.

The tubes 0 O are soldered fast to the bot tom and extend upward. At the top of each is a second tube, J J, the top of which is closed with a cap, into which the ears L L for the bail M M are fastened. The lower ends of the tubes J J are perforated with three rows of holes, which admit air to the burner. The tubes 0 O extend into the tubes J J within one-half inch from the top, as shown in dotted lines, Fig. 1, serving as a wind-brake, thus preventing the air from coming too suddenly on the flame.

Near the top and on the side of the tubes J J are fastened the circular bearings I I, in which revolve the corresponding pieces, H H. To these revolving bearings is fastened the flange G, through which pass the top D and lift-wires G O. The top D has a perpendicular slot, FF, at each side, through which pass the lift-wires U G, as shown in the drawings.

The slot F F commences near the bottom in the top D and runs toward the top, then makes an obtuse angle, forming an incline-plane, through which the lift-wires O 0 move. The lift 0 O is made in the following manner: A

piece of wire is bent on the lower end and soldered fast to disk B, and then passes upward through flange G and through the slots F F in the top D, as shown in the drawings. The disk B is perforated with two rows of holes, and 011 the disk B is soldered a funnel-shaped cone, N N, in such a manner that the two rows of holes in disk B are divided. One row of holes comes 011 the outside of the funnelshaped cone NN, and the other row on the in side of funnel-shaped cone N N, the purpose of which is that the air which passes through the inside row of holes in diskB is thrown direct onto the flame, making a steadier and whiter flame.

To operate our invention, the globe A is placed on the disk B, and the top D is forced down until the lift 0 0 reaches the slots F F, when they enter the incline-plane by turning the top D, and at the same time secure the fastening of globe A.

For lighting or trimming, the globe A is raised by pushing upward on the disk B and swinging it over, as shown in 3, thus giving free access to the burner.

When in use, the lift 0 O is held secure by the catch K.

Having thus fully described our invention,

what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters 1 Patent, is-

1. A lantern provided with draft-tubes O 0, having the enlarged tubes J J at the top thereof, said tubes J J being closed at the top and perforated below the tops of the tubes 0 O, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

, 2. In a lantern, the combination of the tilting disk G, part D held therein, having slots F, connecting-rods C G, and supportingdisk B at the lower end thereof, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

8. In a lantern, the combination of the movable cap or part D, having the slots F, the connect-ingrods O 0, working in said slots at the top, the disk B, connected to the bottom of said rods, and the tilting disk G, through which the part D and rods 0 0 pass, as set forth. a

4. The combination, with the part D, disk B, connecting-rods O, and globe A, of the tilting disk G, circular disk H H on the sides thereof, and the circular bearings I I for said disks H, substantially as and for the purpose In testimony that we claim the foregoing we set forth.
