Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ALBERT TAPLIN, OF` PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND.
lMPROVEM ENT IN LAMPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 36,680, dated October 14, 1862.
To (LZZ whom it may concern,.-
Be it known that I, VALBERT TAPLIN, of Providence, inthe county of Providence,in the State of Rhode Island, have invented certain Improvements in Lamps for Burning Kerosene and other Oils; and I do hereby declare that the'i'ollowing is a full and correct description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and tothe letters of reference marked thereon, similar letters denoting the same parts inail the. figures.
Figure lis an elevation ot' the lamp-cap and cone or detlectorthatholds'the chimney. Fig. 2 is avertical vsection of the same, with the chimney-holder slightly' raised. Fig. 3 is a top view ofthe lamp-cap. Fig. 4 is a` top view of the cone and chimney-holder.
My improvements are made upon those parts bl' the lamp'usually called the "lamp: cap, and the "cone or decctor7 which directs the air upon the dame, and which in in this case is made to hold the chimney in a measure independent of the lower lampcap.
The construction is as follows: The cap A is made of metal, as seen -in Fig. l, though the external shape and theforms and arrangement of the air-0penings may be varied to suit the taste. AAtV its lower end, R, it has a screw-thread cut upon it, .to screw it into the lamp top. In forming this cap A, a portion ofthe piece of metal of whichit is made is left projecting in two parts, as seen at a a, Fig. 3, for the purpose of forming a part of the hinge which connects it to the cone or detlector. These projecting parts a a are at'- terward turned over, so as to form loops or eyes, to receive the hinge-pin. The cone or deiicctor Bris also formed with a projection, x, ol the same piece of metal, as seen inFig. 4, which is of the proper size to just lill iu between the two parts a a. This projection x is also turned over, so as to form an eye similar to those on the lower part, and a pin beinginserted in the three eyes, a hinge is formed upon which the del-lector B, with the chimney, may be turned back ofic ofthe lower cap, for the ,purpose of trimming the wick, lighting the lamp, Src. y A portion of the metal which lies between the two parts c a, Fig. 3, is bent up back ot' the hinge, and makes a fender, s, to prevent the top from tipping so far over as to allow the chimney to come in contact with the lamp below.
I am aware that the chimney-holder has been attached to the cap by means of a hinge before, but in those cases the hinges were made separate, and soldered or otherwise fastened to the respective parts `while my plan, as above described, forms a hinge that is cheaper to make, nenter in appearance, and not liable to become detached from the lamp by use. Y
My other improvement consists in attaching a spring, O, to the cone or deector B, which is-formed with a peculiar rim (for which a patent has been granted to me) that holds the chimney by means of two lugs or ears o o formed upon it. This spring Gis for the purpose of securing the chimney to the cone or holder-VB, whether opened or closed, and not as in Newmans patent, for the pnrpose of holding the chimney-holder to the lower lampcap, this latter. object being accomplished in this case by a slight bending in of one or more ofthe turrets on either side of the notch made in A to receive the spring. This spring is made in a scroll shape, (see Fig. 2,) to allow of more length and elasticity, and has a suitable projection in toward the cone, to hold the chimney in place, and it also answers as a handle, to tip the cone and chimney over off of the wick.
AJ is an air-director, to feed the air to the sides ot' the dame, and is` provided with diverging danges upon its sides at its upper end, and has openings in its lower part, to allow the air to enter.
. The wicktube and wick-feeding arrangement may be in the usual forni in such lamps.
Having thus described my improvements, what I claim as niy invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. The attachment ot' a spring to the cone or chimney holder, to secure the chimney to the same, when the chimney-holder, cone, and chimney are removed from the cap for trimming and lighting the lamp,` substantially as and for the purpose herein described.
2. In lamps having the cone or chimneyholder connected to the lamp-cap by a hinge, making that part of the hinge attached to the chimney holder of the same vpiece of metal with the holder, and that part of the hinge attached to the lamp-cap of the same piece of metal with the cap, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
