NEW EN GD.
LAMP-CAP.
'Specification of Letters Patent No. 3,582, dated May 10, 1844.
Be it kno-wn that- I, ROBERT H. EDDY, of
Boston, in the county of Suolk, in the State of Massachusetts, haveinvented a1 certain Improvement in Lamps or Lamp- Caps; my'said improvement being peculiarly applicable to the improvement in oilfeeders and other articles of like character for which Letters Patent were granted to Joseph Benson cn February 28, A. D. 1844.
The following description and accompanying drawings of my improvement constitutea full and exact specification of the construction and operation of the same.
Having been the legal adviser of the said Benson and assisted him in the preparation of his specification and drawing-and in obtaining his Letters Patent, the examination of his invention and my reflections on the same have led me to the conception of the improvement I shall hereinafter describe. Not being desirous owing to circumstances connected with my profession of availing myself of any advantages thereof beyond what I Vmay receive as compensation for preparing the necessary papers, etcetra, for securing the same by Letters Patent and the legal representatives of the said Benson preferring to have the same so protected, and in their possession, I have consented to make application for a patent and to assign all my right, title, and interest in the said invention to and to request the Commissioner of Patents to issue the said letters patent in the names of DEMING J ARVES, of Boston, in the'count-y o-f Suffolk, and the NEW ENG- LAND GLASS COMPANY, of East Cambridge, in the State aforesaid, on condition of the said representatives paying the expenses of obtaining the said patent. I make the above Y preliminary statement in order to exhibit what has led me to the discovery of my said improvement, as Well as the cause lof a personal application on my part for a patent, and the reason why the proprietorship of my discovery becomes vested in the said JARS/ins, and the said company, and that my interestin the same both directly and indirectly has ceased. f
Y Among the articles to which the said Benson has adapted his improvement is the common lamp for burning oil,
Figure l represents a vertical and central 'of the feeder or lamp.
Fig. Q., is a vertical and central sect-ion of a lamp, constructed on my improved plan. The covered chamber which prevents the escape of oil is represented at b, and the wick tube at a. Directly over and upon this chamber a cup, or receptacle c, is arranged, o-r the top of the chamber, is formed concave as represented in the drawing, in order to collect and retain any carbon which may dro-p from the inflamed portion of the Wick of the lamp, and in order to prevent the carbon from falling out of the cup when the lamp is turned over, or inclined toward a horizontal position. I form around the outer edge of the cup, an inclined lip cl, cl, which projects from the said edge, and inclin-es upward toward the wick tube as seen in the drawing. The inner boundary e, e, of the said lip should be a circle of a diameter a very little greater than that'of the screw f, f, by which the chamber Z), ZJ, is screwed into the neck or collar g, g, the same being for the purpose of permitting the chamber to be passed through the opening e, e, and inserted in the screw' of the rack or collar. The main reservoir of the lamp is represented at A, in Figs. 1, 2. By inspection of Fig. 2, it will be perceived that the chamber b, I), is arranged entirely within the collar g, g, and that a part of the collar projects above the top of the chamber, and has the inclined lip d, CZ, raised upon it. By this arrangement of the parts any oil which, when the lam is turned down toward a horizontal position, might pass through the screw at f, or between the exterior of the chamber and the interior 0f thek collar, where they are in oppositionV with each other, would be arrested by the lip, d, CZ, and prevented from flowing over or running down the sides or exterior of the lamp.
As the lamp described in Fig. l is ar-v ranged should any oil escape through the screw it would run down the sides of the lamp.- y
Having thus described my improvement I shall claim,
l. The combination of a cup or receptacle (c, Fig. 2) With the chamber the object of the said Cup being to catch any carbon which may drop from the inliammablerpon tion of the Wick. Also the addition to, or combination with the cap, of the inclined lip d, (l, surrounding the exterior edge of it,
2. Also sinking the'chamber b, Z), entirely Within the collar or neck g, g, in combination With a lip cl, d, raised upon the upper edge of the colla-r, as represented in Fig. 2, the object of such an arrangement being to arrest any oil Which may escape through the screw of the lamp cap, or between that formed upon the exterior of the chamber Z), and the interior of the collar g, g, the whole of the above being constructed, and operating substantially as before speciiied.
ln testimony that the above is a correct specification of my improvement I have hereto set my signature this rst day of April, inY the year 1844.
