LAI'VSON G. HUNTINGTON, OF NEIV YORK, N. Y.
LAMP OR LANTERN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 319,09, dated June 2, 1885.
Application filed Apr-i123, 1884. (No model.)
T0 at whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Lawson G. HUNTING- TON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamps or Lanterns, of which the following is aspecifioation.
My invention relates, especially, to signal lamps or lanterns, and has for its object the provision of a device wherein means are employed for preventing the extinguishing of the flame by a sudden jar of the lamp-body, for regulating the flame from the exterior of the lamp-body, and for ascertaining the state of the flame without opening the lamp either at the top or side.
To attain the desired ends my invention consists in the construction and the combination of parts hereinafter particularly described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of the lamp, showing the location and arrangement of the parts. Fig. 2 is an elevation of a fragment of the wall of the lampbody, showing the arrangement of the wickregulating device.
Like letters of reference, wherever they occur, indicate corresponding parts in both figures.
A is the outside wall of the lamp, bearing lenses B.
O is the top, hinged at D, and provided with a catch, E, for holding the top in place when closed.
13 is a perforation in the metal of the top, covered with glass or mica, so arranged that the condition of the flame of the lamp may be ascertained without raising the top 0. I have shown the peep-hole as located in the top, that being the most convenient place; but said opening might be made in the side wall, if preferred.
G is the oil-pot, having a handle, H, and arranged to be placed in position through the top of the lamp-body.
I are eyes in plates or cars attached to the oil-pot, through which standards J, secured in an upright position, pass.
K are springs upon which the oil-pot is supported. By this arrangement, when the lamp is used upon a switch staff or upon a locomotive or car, any jar will not extinguish the flame, as the springs prevent such jars from materially affecting the oil-pot.
L is a perforation in the side wall of the lamp, a vertical slot, Z, extending downward therefrom.
M is a slide,which covers the perforation L and the greater portion of the slot Z when the regulating-shaft of the burner is in position.
In order to put the oil-pot in place the top of the lamp is thrown back and slide IV is raised. Ihe oil-pot is then lowered into position, the button on the wick-regulatin g shaft being first passed through perforation L. The slide is then pushed down in the manner indicated in Fig. 2.
I am aware of the existence of Patent No. 281,580, issued July 17, 1883, to Talbot and Brown, for an improvement in bicycle-lanterns; and to the construction and operation of the device therein shown and described I make no claim.
I am aware that it is old to provide a removable oil-pot for a lantern with elastic arms extending laterally from its sides, said arms being longer than the inner diameter of the lantern-body, so that one set will fit into and rest upon two of the eyes of the lantern, and the other set will fit into two other eyes and strike against an upper rod extending across the in side of the lantern. Under such construction the cup must be tilted in order to introduce it into the lantern and withdraw it therefrom,
and the cup cannot be withdrawn from the top of the lantern. Under my construction, as described, and hereinafter claimed, the lamp can be inserted and withdrawn without tilting, and consequently without danger of spilling the oil, and it can also be inserted and withdrawn through the top of the lantern by reason of a hinged top and of a handle provided therefor.
I am also aware that it is old to support an oil-cup within a lantern on springs, as shown in German Patent No. 17,836, of 1882, and I lay no claim to any such construction.
Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new therein, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The combination,with a lamp-body having ahinged top, of an oil-pot resting upon springs within the body and provided with a handle for its introduction, and removable through the top, substantially as described.
2. The combinatiomwith a lamp-body having a hinged top, of an oil-pot supported up on springs within the body, said pot and sup porting-springs together being of smaller diameter than the inner diameter of the lamp body, to permit the introduction and withdrawal of the pot through the top of the lantern, substantially as described.
3. In a lamp or lantern of the character herein specified, body A, upright standards J, oil-pot G, and springs K, the whole combined substantially as shown and described.
