XVALTER S. BURN AND EARNEST SCHULTZ, OF HAMILTON, ONTARIO, CANADA.

TUBULAR LANTERN.

EPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 859,993, dated March 29, 1887.

Application filed June '28, 1886. Serial No. 206,514. (No model.) Patented in Canada February 22, 1885, No. 23,475.

To all whom it may concerri:

Be it known that we, WALTER Scorr BURN and EARNEST SCHULTZ, both of the city of Hamilton, in the county of Wentworth, in the Province of Ontario, Dominion of Canada, have jointly invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tubular Lanterns; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construe tion and operation of the same.

The invention consists of the several novel features of construction and combination of parts hereinafter fully set forth, and definitely specified in the claims following this specifi cation.

By reference to the drawings forming part of this specification it will be seen that Figure 1 represents an elevation of our improved tubular lantern. Fig. 2 is a side view of one of the hooks. Fig. 3 is a section of tube and wire guide. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the lantern. Fig. 5 is a top view of the plate secured on the top of the air-chamber.

A represents the base of the lantern; B B, the side tubes; G, the central air-chamber; D, the circular flange surrounding the air-chamher, and on which it slides vertically.

1*] E are the broad metal hooks riveted to the under side of the flange D and turned inward at their extreme ends, as at a a, to catch on the under side of the head I) of the globe F.

G is the wire draw-bar, both ends being secured to the flange D, and, passing upward on each side of the air chamber 0, passes through the openings (1 d in the side projeetions, 0, in the plate H, covering the top of the air-chamber, an d bent into asp ring thumbring, 0, over the said air-chamber C. It will be noticed that the said draw-bar G has two long upper bends, ff, and two shorter bends, g g, the latter being for the purpose of acting as stops to hold the globe up when elevated, and the top ones for assisting to keep the globe in its place when it and its disk are resting on the collar of the burner.

J is the wire globe-holder, secured to the flange D, then bent downward and made to encircle the top of the globe above the bead,

and again bent upward, passes through an opening in the flange sufilcientl y high for the thumb of the operator to press it upward to release the globe from it when desired to remove the said globe.

K K are upwardly-bent wires on each side of the globe and are fastened to the disk I; and i are the horizontal bars or wires secured to each of the said vertically-inclined wires K. The one marked i is the hook, which is hinged to one of the said wires t at the point 3 and hooked into a loop on another one at the point 4. This is simply nnhooked when the globe is required to be removed.

L L are the wire guides, made to encompass the horizontal portion of the tubes B B and pass up parallel to the tubes about three and a half inches, are then bent at right angles and affixed to the tubes, as shown at Figs. 1 and 3.

j is a wire j utting out horizontally from the perforated disk I, and may be, preferably, the ends of the wires K, bent outward to slide between the wire guides L L on each side of the globe, respectively. By this means the lower portion of the globe is held from swing ing when it is elevated above the. burner, as shown in Fig. 4, for any purpose whatever.

In operating the lantern when it requires lighting, the operator places one hand on the lantern and grasps the ring 0 with the other and raises it, which draws up the flange l) on the air-tube chamber 0, and by the hooks E, attached to the flange D, the globe F is raised above the burner, as shown in Fig. 3, when the wick is trimmed and lighted. The globe is prevented from falling out by means of the wires K K v? z l t" and kept steady in a vertical position by the wire guides L L and pins j j.

Having thus described our device and its advantages, what we claim as our invention 1s-- 1. The combinatioinwith a tubular lantern, of the disk or flange D, the disk I, globe F, wires K K and i i i, hook i, globe-holdcr J, and hooks E, substantially as described.

2. The combination,with a tubular lantern,

of the disk or flange D, the globe-ho1der J, Dated at Hamilton, Ontdrio, Canada, this hooks Hair-tube G, draw-bar G,having bends 36. day of April,i1S86.

f f and g g, plate H, having openings d d, V S BURN globe F, disk I, having Wiresjj,and guides L, A E d 5 substantially as described.

3. The combination, with the disk I, of the In presence of- Wires K, the wires 1' i 2', hook z", and globe F, AMILIUS JARVIS,

substantially as described. H. R. SAYERS.
