gain tans gaunt firm- IMPROVEMENT III LANTERNS.

, SPECIFICATION. TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it 'known that I, RICHARD CHESTER, of Chicago, in the county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement-in Lanterns; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, 3

and exact description of the same, refereneeibeing had to the accompanying drawings, and the letters and figures I i marked thereon, which form part of this specification. I

My said invention consists in arranging, between the case of the lantern and the lamp, a perforated jackegg and connecting therewith an annular support forthe glass globe,lhaving.a flange projecting outward to the case. I of the lantern-above the perforated jacket, so as to cause the wind which enters the ordinaryholes at the sides, to pass thrdughfsaid perforated jacket before coming in contact with the flame, thus breaking and difi'using the I currents ofair and preventing the extinguishing of' the flame. To enable those skilled in the art to understand, how to makejand use my invention, I will proceed to describe the same with particularity, making referencein so. doing to theaforesaid-drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents aside elevation of my invention. I Figure 2 a vertical central section of thesame; and

Figure 3 atop view of the support for the glass globe and its flange aforesaid. Similar letters of reference in the different figures denote the same parts of my invention.

A represents the base of the lantern, into which the lamp L is placed through the bottom, and secrred by means of the spring catches, S, whichextend over the projection b, as shown. Between the lantern case and; the lamp is arranged the annular enclosure marked a d, which rests upon the aforesaid projection 6, andiis j j firmly bracedlin the proper position by means of the exterior flange, e, extending out to the casing, as'shown, The part marked'c is perforated, as shown, while the part marked cl is not, and the flange or diaphragm, e, causes the air which enters through the holes a, in the case, to pass through the perforated jacket, c; to supply the flame with air, while the force of r the wind is broken thereby, and the extinguishmeut of the flame or light, p which would otherwise occur, is effectually prevented. 0, represents a second perforated jacket similar to the one marked 0, attached to the diaphragm exterior to the said jacket, 0, which serves more effectually to break, M I the force of the wind while admitting the air to support the flame as desired. The entiredevice, cc, d,'e, ma'yI be made removable or permanently attached to the lantern, as preferred. The lower end of the globe enters the support, d, while the upper end is snpportedin the top, 0, as shown. The guards, E, are fastened to the lantern I top, and to a band, E, which is hinged upon one sideto the case, A, and is secured to the opposite side by a catch, G, so as to be opene'dwhen desired to remove the globe, whose support, however, is not upon the guard band, F, but is entirely independent thereof. D represents passages for allowing the heated air .to pass out atthe top of the lantern, while at the same time the wind is directed through the top without being deflected downward; I upon the flame.

Having described the construction and operation of my invention, I will proceed to specify what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent: I

jackets c c, and diaphragm e, arranged and operating as and for the purposes specified.

RICHARD CHESTER.

I claim the combinationand arrangement, with a lantern and its globe, of the globe support d, perforated Witnesses:
