WILLIAM FORD, OF BROOKLYN, NEXV YORK.

SMOKE-BELL ATTACHMENT.

@PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.3 tl,899, dated May 18, 1886.

Application filed March 16, 1885. Serial No. 159,024. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM F0111), a citi' zen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the'county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Attaching SmokeBells to Gasalicrs, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the drawings forming a part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improved device for holding smoke-bells in place over gasjets, and is designed to afford a simple and efficient apparatus that may be easily secured to the gasalier while in place, and adjusted securely to any size of droppipe, and held at any re quired height above the burners. It is also adjustable for different lengths of the arm or horizontal pipe of gasalier. jects by the device constructed as shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of my device The arms and burners are omitted as not essential to show the application ofthe device. One smokebell is in place. Fig. 2 is a plan view, full size, of the central portion of the device,showing the means of securing it to the drop-pipe and the means of securing the horizontal rods to which the smokebells are attached. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the above n'lentioned central portion of the device. Fig. 4 is a side view of one of the horizontal rods of the device, showing method of adjusting it for length.

Similar letters refer to like parts throughout the several views.

A is the drop-pipe.

B B are the arms or horizontal rods of the smokebell device.

I) b are the hooks for bells.

O is a smoke-bell.

D is the ring for attaching to drop-pipe. This is in two sections, (indicated by the heavy line X X.)

d d are tubular ends of clamping-ring D, for holding rods BB.

E is a tube, in which rod 13 can slide, making it adjustable for length.

F F, 850., are setscrews for securing ring D to drop-pipe A.

I attai 11 these ob-.

ffare small screws for holding the two parts of ring D together, and also holding rods 13 B in their sockets.

The device may be briefly described as consisting of a small metal ring, 1), made in two portions having each asemi-tube at each end.

These two parts when put together are secured by thumb-screws ff, and form a ring with two opposite and equal short tubular extensions. Four holes are bored into the ring D parallel with its plane and fitted with fiat-headed setscrews F F. Two horizontal arms, B B, of suitable diameter to fit the sockets attached to the ring I), and this can vary slightly, are provided with hooks at one end, upon which the smoke-bells are to be hung. The form of these arms B B is of course a mere matter of fancy or adaptation to ci rcu instances, and forms no part of my invention.

To renderthe device entirely selfadj ustahle, the arms may be madeot' two pieces, the outer one sliding in the other, which is tubular, as is show u in Fig. 4 at E.

The method of using my device is as follows: The serewsff are withdrawn], so that the ring D can be separated into two pieces, which are then placed around the droppipe of the gasalier, and the screws are again turned, so as to bring the parts of the ring D together. At the same time the arms B B are inserted, and the screws turned until they are held tightly. The screws F F are then turned until they press firmly against the drop-pipes and hold the ring and arms securely at any required height above the burners. The bells are hung on and the device is complete. i

NVhen desired, the arms B B can be made telescopic, as shown in Fig. 4, and the device can then be changed to fit any reasonable variation in spread of gasalier.

It is obvious that this device is equally applicable to chandeliers for kerosenelamps or any other illuminating agents where smokebells are required.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A device for attaching smoke-bells to gasaliers, consisting of a ring made in two parts, with clamping-screws for holding it together, and at the same time holding two arms in place, in combination with the said arms, 3.
