' `Street Lamp.
Patented May 29, t185.6.
UNTTEE STATES PATENT EEICE.,
JACOB e. MINEE, 0E MoEErsANIA, NEW YORK.
HVIPROVED STREET-LAMP.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 55, H43, dated May 29, 1866.
T0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JACOB G. MINER, of Morrisania, in the county ot' Westchester and State ofNew York, have in vented an Improved Stationary Street-Lamp, and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
The nature otl my invention consists in the employment ot' a cylindrical-shaped glass of' larger diameter at its top and shaping at its bottom in the form ot' a cone, with an opening ot' sufficient size for the admission of a. burner, said cylinder being supported in a suitable frameat its to`p and havin g' combined therewith a lidprojecting over said cylinder and frame, with a ventilator at its top, said top answering the purpose of a delector.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed todescribe its construction and operation.
I construct'my lamp by having a rim made and supported by metallic rods secured to the lamp-post in the ordinaryway. I have the glass cylinder or globe made to fit the inside ot' said rim, said rim supporting the glass cylinder or globe by a ange onthe upper part of` the same.
A represents the metallic frame and rim to support the cylinder or globe. B represents the lid attached toA by hinges. G represents the gas pipe and burner. D represents the lamp as attached to the lamp-post. E represents the glass cylinder orglobe, which is 'made to tit the inside ofthe rim of' frame A. F represen ts the lamp complete as attached to lamppost.
The advantages of this lamp are:
First, this lamp will give more light on the street, as the lid, being vconstructed of metal and overhanging, prevents the light from escapingupward, and must necessarily give more light on the street.
Second, this lamp will not cost as much as au ordinary streetlam p.
Third, the expense ot' keeping this lamp in repair cannot be so great as an ordinary streetlamp.
Fourth, this lamp is not as liable to be broken as an ordinary street-lamp, for the reason that there is not as much glass exposed.
Fifth, when the glass in this lamp is broken it is not necessary, as in ordinary streetlamps, to carry the lamp to a glazier, but instead, all that is necessary is to lift the lid and slip a cylinder or globe in its place.
What Iclaim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. A cylinder or its equivalent when sustained substantially as described.
2. The combination of cylinder-frame and lid for the purpose set forth.
JACOB G. MINER.
In presence ot'- GHAUNGEY SMITH, JOHN L. BURNETT.
