UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ANTON REIOHMANN, OF BRESLAU, GERMANY.
W'ICK-TRIMMER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 431,008, dated June 24, 1890. Application filed October 7, 1889. Serial No. 326,214. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ANTON REICHMANN, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, residing at Breslau, in Germany, have invented new and useful Improvements in a New or Improved Trimmer and Cleaner for Petroleum Round Burners, of which the following is a specification.
The usual trimming of lamps causes the burned parts of the wick to fall into the interior of the burner and obstruct the air-passages. The accumulation of such parts in the burner when impregnated with petroleum readily ignites, frequently causing an explosion.
Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation with the cleaner home alongside the rod; Fig. 4, a front elevation of same. Fig. 2 shows the cleaner expanded and away from the rod. Fig. 3 shows the application to the lamp-burner.
The lamp trimmer and cleaner herein described prevents the accumulation of dirt in the burners during the trimming and cleaning of the lamps; and it consists of a rod B, of cylindrical shape, made to correspond to the interior diameter of the burner, and is furnished with a disk 0. To the disk 0 are fastened brushes (Z, which encircle the rod B. At the upper end of the rod is fastened a spring F, which carries at the lower end a cleaner f, consisting of a small piece of cloth or other convenient material, folded together. There is also a lever arrangement h 7b on the rod B for lifting the spring F, with the cleaner f clear from the stick B without being obliged to touch said spring.
The use of the lamp-cleaner is as follows: After the glass has been removed from the lamp, the card-board disk P, Fig. 3, haviifg a hole in the center corresponding to the size of the burner, is placed upon the wick-cylinder as far down as the crown, so that the latter will not be touched by the falling wick parts. Then the cleaner is grasped at the upper part of the rod, and the wire lever h 72. being pressed by a finger, so that the cleaning end on the spring F is raised from the rod, the rod is inserted with its lower end so far into the wick-holder D that the brushes touch the burner and the wick, whereby the wicktube becomes closed. By releasing the wire lever the cleaner f touches the outer surface of the wick-tube, and the cleaner is in a vertical position in the lamp.
The cleaner is now turned to the right and left in order to remove the carbonized part of the wick, which canbe done easily and conveniently. An accumulation of the rubbedoff carbon particles can neither take place in the crown norin the wick-tube, and the outer surface of the wick-tube is cleaned by the cleaner f.
I claim The combination, in a cleaner for roundwick burners, of the rod B for insertion and rotation in the burner, the brushes cl, attached to the rod, the vibrating cleaner f, and the lever 7L h for controlling the same, all as and for the purpose specified.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
ANTON REICHMANN.
