BRACKET FOR ATTACHING INCANDESCENT LIGHTS TO COMPOUND GAS-FIXTURES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 568,573, dated September 29, 1896.
Application filed July 20, 1896. Serial No. 599,918. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern..-
Be it known that I, EDWIN C. HOWE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Brackets for Attach ing Incandescent Lights to Compound Gas- Fixtures; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in brackets whereby incandescent electric lights may be readily fixed to the burner of the ordinary compound gas-bracket for use in factories, so that such light may be readily swung into any suitable position. v
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective illustrating my improvement when applied for use; Fig. 2, a plan View, on an enlarged scale, showing my improved bracket fixed to the socket of an incandescent light; Fig. 3, a side elevation of the con struction shown at Fig. 2 Fig. 4, a detail perspective of the bracket itself, and Fig. 5 a detail perspective showing a modification of my improvement wherein the bracket is made in two pieces.
Similar numbers of reference denote like parts in the several figures of the drawings.
1 is the usual compound gas-bracket, having at the end the burner 2.
My improved bracket is preferably formed from a single piece of sheet metal cut out in the proper shape, one end being bent around to form an eye 8, a screw 4 being driven through the extremity of the stock which forms this eye into the body of the bracket, whereby when said screw is driven inwardly the eye may be contracted, while the enlarging of the eye is effected, of course, by the backing of such screw. The other end of the bracket has arms 5, which extend from opposite sides in'the arc of a circle and are forked at their extremities, as seen at 6.
The rear end of the light-socket fits snugly within these arms, and the latter are secured to the socket by means of screws 7, driven through the forks 6 into said socket.
In applying my improved bracket to the burner 2 the eye 3 is assembled around said burner, any suitable insulating material 8 being interposed between said burner and eye, and the screw 4 is then driven inward, so as to clamp the eye and burner firmly toget-her.
It will thus be seen that by the use of my improvement either gas or electric light may be used at will under the most advantageous circumstances as far as the availability and adjustments of said light are concerned.
In Fig. 5 I have shown a modification of my improvement which really differs but very little from the construction heretofore described, since it comprises merely two sections, each one of which has formed with it the complementary portions 9, which form the eye for attaching to the gas-burner, while from the other ends of these sections extend arms 10 in the arc of a circle, within and to which arms the electric-light socket is secured, as heretofore described. A screw 11, driven through these sections, serves to unite them together and also to bind the eye portions firmly around the gas-burner when applied for use.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The herein-described bracket for attaching incandescent lights to the burners of compound gas-fixtures, the same comprising a sheet-metal bracket having one extremity curled around to form an eye capable of being attached around such burner, suitable insulating material contained within said eye, a screw driven through the extremity of the stock of the eye into the body of the bracket whereby said eye may be contracted or enlarged, and a pair of arms extended in the arc of a circle at the other extremity of the bracket, within which arms the electriclight socket snugly rests, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
EDWIN C. HOWE.
