MINERS LAMP.
(Application filed. Dec. 9, 1898.)
(N0 Model.)
STATES UNITE PETER HOME, OF BESSEMER, MICHIGAN.
MINERS LAMP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 623,370, dated April 18, 1899.
Application filed December 9, 1898. Serial No. 698,750. (No model.)
To (LZZ whom it may concern.-
Ze it known that 1, PETER HOME, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Bessemer, in the county of Gogebic and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in- Miners Lamps; 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 consists in the novel features hereinafter described, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate my invention, and the said invention is fully disclosed in the following description and claims.
Referring to the said drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a miners lamp embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view, partly in section, of the holder for thelamp-body. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional viewot the lower part of the lamp-body and the encircling portion of the holder.
In the drawings, A represents the lampbody, which is provided with a wick-holding tube a and a cover a. The lower part of the lamp-body is formed with a projecting bead (1. as is usual in the construction of miners lamps.
a represents a hanger or auxiliary supporting devices secured to the lamp-body, extending above the same and having a pointed end bent downwardly to enable the lamp to be hung from a suitable support.
13 represents the lamp-support, which consists, preferably, of a single piece of metal.
1) represents the shank, which is pointed at oncend and is provided at the other end with an annular holder formed by bending the material of which the shank is made outwardly at b, then nearly in the form of a circle, as at W, to the point 19 and thence outwardly, forming a short arm 5 The curved portion or annular holder b is grooved on its inner side, as shown at 12 to receive the head a on the bottom of the lamp-body. (See Fig. 3.) The curved portion 11 possesses a certain amount of resilience, which keeps the bend and arm b away from the bend b normally, and I provide a retaining de vice to hold the said parts together and retain the head of the lamp body within the groove 5 In this instance I have shown ahookO, having a portion 0 bent around the head of the shank adjacent to the bend b and held in place by an annular rib or flange b formed on the shank. It is obvious that I may use other forms of retaining device for this purpose.
When the holding device is attached to the lamp, the bead a of the lamp-body is placed within the groove b of thecurved portion 19 and the arm b is pressed toward the head of the shank, so as to hold the bead of the lampbody within it. The hook O is then dropped over the bond 11 as shown in Fig. 1, and the parts will be held securely together, but will permit the lamp-body to be turned around to any desired position within the annular holder.
The pointed end of the shank can be stuck into a joist or the side of a tunnel or shaft and will support the lamp in an y desired position.
WVhile I do notwish to be limited to a holder made from one piece, it is a very desirable construction on account of the cheapness with which it can be manufactured.
XVhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A holder for miners lamps comprising a shank pointed at one end and provided at the other end with an annular portion grooved on its inner side to engage a bead on the lampbody and a retaining device for securing said annular support around the lamp-body, substantially as-described.
2.. A holder for miners lamps comprising a shank provided at one end with a curved portion forming an annular support, said curved portion being grooved on its inner side to engage a head on the lamp-body, and a retaining device for securing the ends of said curved portion together, substantially as described.
A holder for miners lamps comprising a shank, a curved portion secured thereto forming an annular holder and terminating In testimony whereof I affix my signature in an operating-arm, said curved portion bein the presence of two Witnesses. ing grooved on its inner side to receive a bead on the lamp-body, and a retaining-hook se- PETER HOME 5 cured to said shank and engaging the oppo- X'Vitnesses:
