GAS-FIXTU RE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 415,570, dated November 19, 1889.

Application filed April 19, 1889. Serial No. 307,789. (No model.)

.To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HENRY SCHRADER, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvauia, have inventeda new and useful Improvement in Gas-Fixtures, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings.

My invention consists of a gas-fixture having horizontal and vertical reflectors which are adj ustably supported on the-gas-pipe, the construction of the parts being hereinafter fully set forth.

Figure 1 represents a partial side elevation and partial vertical section of a gas-fixture embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a horizontal section on line a: m, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 represents a perspective viewof a detached portion.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a gas-pipe, B branches thereof, and C the burners on said branches. The upper part of the pipe is threaded, as at D, and to the same is fitted the nut E, from which radiate the arms F for supporting the top reflector G, which also acts as a shade and occupies a horizontal position. On the pipe A, below the said reflector G, is a reflector H,which is formed of vertical plates J, arranged in prismatic form and supported at top and bottom on arms K, which radiate from collars L, the latter encircling the pipe A, so as to be capable of sliding thereon, and secured thereto by set-screws M, it being seen that the reflector H may be raised and lowered or vertically adjusted according to requirementsand retained in position by the screws M. The top reflector G may be vertically adjusted simply by properly rotating the nut E, which, as is evident, turns on the screw-threads D of the pipe A and then retains its position. The parts G H are formed of glass or material generally known as porcelain and have bright reflecting-surfaces, the brightness increasing as said parts become heated, it being seen that by the combined action of said parts a brilliant light is produced, this being intensified by the diameter of the part G being such that said part extends considerably outside of the line of the flame of the burners. The arms K have shoul ders N at their ends for preventing displacement of the plates J. The arms F are bent,

forming shoulders P, and the central part of the shade and reflector G is raised, forming a shoulder Q, which rests against the shoulders P, thus preventing lateraldisplacement of said part G, said central portion being open to permit some of the products of combustion to escape thereat, preventing collection of smoke or soot on the under side of the part G. The reflectors may be readily removed for cleansing, &c.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination of a supporting gas-pipe with a horizontal reflector and a vertical refiector, the latter being below the former, and

portion, a nut fitted thereon, arms connected with said nut, a horizontal shade supported on said arms, sliding arms 011 the pipe below the top reflector, and a vertical reflector supported on said arms, said parts being combined substantially as described, forming an improvement in gas-fixtures.

3. In a gas-fixture, a gas-pipe having a horizontal reflector adj ustably connected therewith, and arms supporting the same, the arms having shoulders P and the reflector having a raised central portion with a shoulder Q engaging with the shoulders of the supportingarms, said parts being combined substantially as described.
