UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
THOMAS TVALL, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND ROBERT SEALY, OF SAME PLACE.
BURNER FOR STREET-CAR LAMPS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 40,079, dated November 4, 1890.
Application filed January 24, 1889. Serial No. 29-7 .438. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS WALL, of the city of Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Lamp-Burners, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and accurate description.
In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a side View of a burner with my improvement attached. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of my invention. Fig. 3 is a side view of the screwcap of the burner as applied to my invention. Fig. 4 is a View of the locking collar or nut, constituting part of my invention.
Similar letters of reference refer to similar parts.
My invention relates to burners for streetcar lamps; and the construction of the lampboxes is such that the lamp-founts are twice as long as they are wide. The lamp-boxes have reflectors placed at an angle on the i11- side and where the length of the box is the greatest.
It is important to obtain the greatest candle-power possible, and in order to accomplish this the burner onght to be adjusted to the lamp-fount, so that the wick-tube shall stand parallel with the length of the said lamp-fount.
The lamp-burners in use on street-cars are adjusted to the fount by screw-threads cut on the lower portion of the burner and corresponding screw-threads cut in the collar of the lamp-fount, so that when the burner is securely fastened to the lamp-fount it often happens that the wick-tube will be at an angle instead of being parallel with the length of the lamp-fount, as it properly should be.
The object of this invention is to construct a lamp-burner so that at all times the wicktube can be easily adjusted parallel with the length of the lamp-fount. I accomplish this result by making that portion of the burner bearing the screw-thread about twice the usual length. I make another part or portion, independent of the burn er, having corresponding screw-threads cut on the inside of it, so as to be adjusted to that portion of the burner bearing the screw-threads, answering the purpose of a locking collar or nut. The outside of the separate portion or part is milled, so that it is more easily handled when it is to be adjusted.
In the drawings, A represents the part of the burner which is fitted or screwed into the collar of thelamp-fount, abeing the screwthreaded portion thereof.
B is the detachable locking collar or nut,
containing the screw-thread I), cut on the inside and fitting into the screw-thread a on the cap-piece A.
The operation of my inventionis as follows: The detachable nut or locking-collar B is screwed upon the cap A. Then in order to adjust my improved burner the burner is first screwed into the collar of the lamp-fount in the usual way. lVhen properly secured in its position, if it is found that the wick-tube is not parallel with the length of the lampfonnt the burner is partially unscrewed from the collar of the lamp-fount and the detachable screw-threaded locking collar or nut B is screwed or turned in an opposite direction for a short distance, and the burner is then screwed down into the collar of the lampfount. It will be found that this operation has changed the position or angle of the wicktube to the length of the lamp-fount. By renewing this operation the wick-tube can be brought parallel with the length of the lampfount.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A lamp-burner having a screw-threaded portion, by which it is secured to a lamp, provided with a locking collar or nut working on said screw-threaded portion,substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
THOMAS IVALL.
In presence of LoUIs W. FROST,
ROBERT SEALY.
