HANDLE FOR BRAKEMENS LAMPS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 442,852, dated December 16, 1890.
Application filed June 25, 1890. Serial No. 356,702. (No model.)
the person carrying the same, leaving both hands at liberty to attend to his duties; and the invention consists in the peculiar construction, arrangement, and combinations of parts, hereinafter more more particularly described, and then definitely claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a bulls-eye lamp provided with my improved handle. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a conductors hand-lamp provided with my improved handle.
All railroad men are familiar with the difficulty that brakemen experience in retaining their lamps while on duty. are now provided require to be carried in the hand, or when provided with a handle for the arm the said handle is so large that the lamp suspended from it by the arm swings in every direction and seriously interferes with the hand of the arm from which the lamp is suspended. In consequence of this interference brakemen frequently place the lamp on the roof of the car when it is necessary for them to apply the brakes, and I have known many cases where brakemen have lost their lives 01' have been seriously injured through tun1- bling off the car while grasping for their lamp which has been accidentally overturned.
By the adoption of my improved handle a lamp may be readily suspended from the arm and so held from the said arm that its hand will be perfectly free and may be used for all purposes without danger of the lamp interfering with the object being handled.
In the drawings, A represents an armlet, and B two stiff fingers extending therefrom. The armlet A may be-in various forms, as may also the fingers B. In Fig. 1 I show one The handles that form and in Fig. 2 another form; but these forms may be still further varied to suit the different classes of lamps and the taste of the manufacturer.
In Fig. 1 the armlet is composed of two semicircular hands a, connected together at one end by a spiral spring I), while from the opposite end of each a finger B extends, the said fingers being curved to overlap each other and form a lock between the two, and are further shaped to fit over the rigid handle C of the lamp D and hook onto hooks (1, connected to the said handle 0. Of. course the different form of connection between the handle 0 and the fingers B may be made without difliculty. In Fig. 2 I show the armlet A formed by a curved band e, from which the fingers B extend, the ends of the said fingers being hooked to engage with the eye f, attached to the lamp, as indicated.
In order to hold the curved band 6 tight upon the arm, I provide a spring-band g, connected to the ends of the curved band e, as indicated.
The two points to be observed in carrying out my invention are, first, to see that the armlet A is a snug fit for the arm of the wearer, and, secondly, to see that the fingers B are rigidly connected to'the armlet at one end and connected at their other end to the lamp in such a manner that the lamp is either rigid with the armlet or permitted to swing only in one direction.
That I claim as my invention is- A lamp-holder provided with a clamp A, having its upper ends connected by a spring b and its lower ends with wires B extending therefrom, in combination with a lamp having a stiff handle 0 and hooks d, engaging with the wires B, all substantially as shown and described.
