GEORGE HENRY LILLEY, OF LEYTON, ENGLAND.
NIGHT- LIGHT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 716,845, dated December 23, 1902.
Application filed July 28, 1902.
To ail whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE HENRY LILLEY, draftsman and designer, a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at 20 Malta road, Leyton, in the county of Essex, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in Night-Lights and the Like, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates more especially to devices for giving a small light, such as those generally known as night-lights, but the invention is also applicable to other lighting purposes. It has for its object to provide a cheap, durable, light, and efficient device which will burn with a clear flame for a lengthened period and can be easily renovated or replenished with its fuel.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a sectional elevation of the device in one form, and Figs. 2 and 3 are sectional elevation and plan of same in another form.
According to this invention common salt is filled into a casing of sheet metal, glass, or other suitable substance, said casing being made with a removable lid provided with an orifice through which is inserted an incombustible wick (for instance, one of asbestos, wool, or uralite) which is in contact with the salt. Near its base the casing is provided with one or more holes through which when the article is placed in a saucer containing petroleum or the like the petroleum will penetrate and be absorbed by the salt to saturation. When a light is applied to the wick, the petroleum rising in the wick by capillary action will burn at the wick with a clear, steady, and smokeless flame, and when the petroleum is exhausted the article can again be similarly charged with fresh petroleum.
In Fig. 1 the casing A is provided with one or more small holes D for the petroleum to enter and be absorbed to saturation by the salt B when the article is placed in a saucer containing petroleum. The lid E has a hole F, through which is passed an asbestos or uralite wick C, splayed out'at its lower end for absorbing the petroleum in the salt. This article is suitable as a night-light. The dot- Serial No. 117,374- (li o model.)
ted lines indicate a lantern G, into which the article may be placed. The lantern forms no part of my invention.
Figs. 2 and 3 show the invention in the form of a candle-lamp. The receptacle A, formed with holes D in the circumference near the bottom, is in this case of greater height, and the lid E, through which the wick G passes, is of corrugated form for the purpose of admitting air through the bays of the corrugations.
H is a glass or chimney placed in a gallery I of usual form.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. A casing provided with circumferential holes for admitting petroleum to its interior, a quantity of salt therein for absorbing the petroleum through the said holes when the casing is temporarily placed in a saucer containing petroleum for charging it therewith, a lid provided with a hole and an asbestos wick which at one end is splayed over the surface of the salt andat the other end passes out through the hole in the lid, the whole article forming a complete small lamp or light, substantially as set forth.
2. A casing provided with circumferential holes for admitting petroleum to its interior, a quantity of salt therein for absorbing the petroleum through the said holes when the casing is temporarily placed in a saucer containing petroleum for charging it therewith, a lid provided with a hole and formed with corrugations for admitting air to the part of the wick below the lid,an asbestos wick which at one end is splayed over the surface of the salt and at the other end passes out through the hole in the lid, the whole forming a complete candle lamp or light, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two sub scribing witnesses.
GEORGE HENRY LILLEY.
