UNITED STATES PATENT ABEL COMES, OF PHILADELPHIA, PA., ASSIGNOR TO THE PLUME 85 AIWVOOD MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF \VATERBURY, CONN.
WICK-RAISER FOCR LAMPS.
HL l-iCEE'IUA-LTION forming part of Letters Patent No. 324,087, dated August 11, 1885.
Application'filcd June 1, 1885. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern;
Be it known that I, ABEL OoMBs, of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improvement in \Vick -Raisers for Lamps, of which the following is a specification.
Argand lamps have heretofore been made in which the wick is raised by claws at opposite sides acted upon by a cam; but it is difficult topress the claws in or draw them out by the same device which moves such claws up and down. In Letters Patent No. 136,034, granted to me February 18, 1873, an Argand wick is raised by claws with finger-pieces for pressing the claws or catches inwardly, and by a cam that acts for raising and lowering the claws.
My present invention is an improvement upon my aforesaid patent, and relates to the combination, with the claws for grasping the wick, of a slider to which the claws are connected, a crank for moving the slider, a rotary cam-ring for pressing the claws into place or allowing them to spring out, and a toothwheel for giving motion to the rotary camring. By this construction the up-and-down movement which is given to the claws is positive, and the cams act at the proper time simply to press in the claws as they force up or draw down the wick.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan of the burner. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is a detached view of the slider and claws. v
The wick-tube A is connected at its lower end with the base 13, which is provided with the attaching-screw b and the perforated airdistributer a, and the air-tube C is within the wick-tube A, and usually provided with a lateral inlet, 0, passing through the wick-tube, so that the air passes into the air-tube from within the air-distributer. \Vithin the wicktube A is a slider, D, to which is attached a guide-plate, d, the edges of which are between projections or lips upon the outside of the wick-tube, and the wick-tube is slotted vertically for the passage of the connection between the guide-plated and the slider D. Upon this guide-plate (Z are horizontal flanges c, forming between them a slot for the crank-pin r at the end of the shaft F, which shaft passes through a tubular bearing, G, that projects at one side of the air-distributer; and His the turn-button at the end of the shaft F. Within the wicktube and attached to the end portions of the slides D are the claws K, having at the back projecting ribs or plates Z, that pass through and are guided in slots in the wick-tube A.
It will now be understood that on turning the button H the crank i, at the end of the 6o shaft F, will raise and lower the slider D, claws K, and ribs or plates Z; but in order to cause the claws to grasp the wick I make use of the revolving cam-ring N, the edges of which rest upon the air-distributer, and are retained in place by clip-pieces 0, in the form of tongues, projecting up from the air-distributer and turned over the edges of 0am ring N; but this cam-ring is free to be revolved, and for this purpose I-provide in the cam-ring N a circular range of small holes, and upon the shaft F, I attach a pinion, I. The size of this pinion should be such that the cam-ring N will be revolved once for every four revolutions of the pinion, and the inner edges of the cam-ring N are undulating to press in the claws K, or to allow them to spring back. The teeth of this pinion entering the holes of the circular range of holes in the camring give to said cam-ring a rotary motion at the same time that the crank moves the slider up or down, and the parts are constructed so that when the turn-button is revolved in one direction the cams of the rings will press upon the ribs or plates Z and force the same inwardly,to cause the claws K to grasp the wick and carry it-up, but when the turn-butt0n H is moved in the other direction the claws will be forced in as the crank t is moving the slides and claws downwardly; hence the wick will 0 be pulled down.
The chimney-holder and deflector or cone made use of in this burner are to be of any ordinary character. They are by preference removable to give access to the wick in trim 5 ming or lighting.
1 claim as my inventiou- 1. In combination with an Argand-lamp burner having a wick-tube provided with slots,
a slider within the wick-tube, and a plate outside the same and connected to the slider, a shaft and crank, and a connection between,
the crank and slider, springarnis connected to the slider, and having claws to engage the wick, and provided with projections extend ing out through the slots in the WlCl-llll)O, substantially as specified.
2. In combination with an Argand -]anip burner having a wick -tul e provided with slots, a slider within the wick-tube, and a plate connected to such slider outside the wick-tube, a shaft and crank, and a connection between the crank and slider, spring-arms connected to the slider having claws to engage the wick, and provided with projections extending out through the slots in the wick-tube, and a camplate to act upon the spring-arms, substantially as specified.
Theco1nbination,withtheArgand burner having an airtnbe and a wick-tube, of a slider, spring-arms having claws within the Wicktuhe, a crank-shaft, and connection with the slider outside the wick-tube, a cam-ring around the wiclctubefliaving a gear-connection forming a part of the same, and a pinion on the erank-shatt to engage with and revolve the cam-ring, substantial] y as set forth.
Signed by me this 27th day of May, A. l). 1885.
ABEL COMES.
