LAMP-BURNER REST.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 458,957, dated September 1, 1891.

Application filed November 10, 1890. Serial No. 370,943. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JULIET KATHARINE TVEBSTER, of Boston, in the county of Sufiolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Lamp-Burner Rest, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a plan of one form of my device, and Fig. 2 a view showing it ready for use. Fig. 3 is an edge view of the modification shown in Fig. 4, and Fig. 4 a plan of a modification.

The object of my invention is to provide a rest for lamp-burners while the lamp is being filled; and my invention is a rest made up of a hook, a lug, and an extension to support the burner, the hook being adapted to hook into the mouth of the lamp, while the lug engages the outer surface of the lamp and so supports the device in place to receive the burner.

In the drawings illustrating my new device, a is the hook, a the lugs, and a the extension upon which the burner is placed. The device shown is formed of bent wire and in this form has two lugs a. Then the device is used, hook at is hooked into mouthb of the lamp, the lugs a rest against the outer surface of the lamp, and the burner is placed on extension a above the table, so that both hands of the person filling the lamp are free and danger of getting oil on the table or cloth is removed. \Vhen the lamp is filled,the device is removed and the burner put in place.

shown in their patents in that the lug is a bend which is extended on one side into a hook and on the other side into an extension, on which the burner is laid when the lamp is filled, whereas in G. S. VVhites rest (Patent No. 346,968) the lug is the side of a tray depending from a wire and secured thereto by vertical links, and in J. F. Vhites rest (Patent N 0. 364,789) the lug is attached to a tray by a bent wire, which, while forming a lug, is not extended into the burner-supporting extension.

What I claim is- A lamp-burner support made up of a bent metal lug at, having an integral extension on each side, one extension a forming a hook and the other extension a a support for the burner, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
