IMPROVEMENT IN LAMPS.
che tlgrhule marsh tu in tlgtst trttrrs ntntt mit uniting part tttlg sante.
Be it known4 that I, JOHN ALLEN, of the city, county, and. State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Constructing Kerosene andCoal-Oil Lamps; and I do herebyideclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe construction and operation of the same, referencebeing had to the annexed drawing, making apart of this specification,l in which Figure 1 is -a vertical section.
Figure 2, a sectional view of the inverted conical holder of water or other non-conducting substance surrounding the wick-tube, and which separates the oil or burning-material in the outer compartment of the lamp from the wick-tube; and
Figure 3 represents a lamp-reservoir surrounded and covered by a water-jacket, or compartment to hold a non-conducting substance, D being the oil-reservoir, and C the water-jacket, or compartment for the nonco'nductcr of heat.
A is any ordinary burner. B is the wick-tube. C is thc inverted conical holder oi non-conducting substance surrounding the wick-tube. D is the compartment for holding the oil or burning-material, connecting with the wick-tube B by perforations of any kind at a a, and surrounding the non-conductor C. E is the loaded foot or stand of the lamp. Fis a capped tube, used for lling'the compartment for holding the non-conducting substance. Gr is a similar tube, used for filling the compartment' D with oil or burning-material, the cap being perforated to admit air into the compartment, to force the oil or burning-material through the apertures a a, and up the wick-tnbe B. b b are an impervious joint, made in connecting g. 1 with fig. 2, to complete and perfect the lamp. The whole lamp is made of metal, in' preference, 'and is either electro-plated, galvanized, polished, bronzed, painted, lacquered, or otherwise ornamented. The foot or base of the lamp, E, is filled with sand or other substance to ballast it.
The object of thc compartment C, filled with non-conductors, is to prevent excessive vaporization of the burning-material, and prevent explosion. The use of non-conductors of heat is not confined t'o any particular form of lamp, and may'consist of liquid, fluid, or s olid non-conducting substances. The burning-material may surround the non-conductoigand this latter surround the wick-tube, as shown in igs. 1 and 2, and above described, or the burning-material may be wholly surrounded and covered by a non-conductor, as shownin fig.
3, and before described. The oil oigburning-matcrial compartment is made to conform to the shape given to the v lamp, and may be varied to accommodate any particular shape. Thewick-tube B and the non-conductingmaterial compartment C are connected together, the tube extending any desirable length below the compartment C into the lamp, the connection being at 6 IJ. The length of the tube B and the length and diameter of the non-conducting-material compartment C are varied in differentshapedlamps, and some are made with and some without handles.
The advantages ot' the above-named improvements are.: first, no odo1 arises from the burning-material; second, one-third more light is produced; third, one-third lessrcil is consumed than in ordinary lamps; and, fourth, that there is no danger of explosions, here being no means by which vapor accumulating in the wicktube (should there be any) can escape through the orifices a a into the oilor burning-material compartment D so long as there is any oil in the lamp, because the wick-tube descends to the bottom of the oil-reservoir, and the wick is fed only from the bottom of the tube.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The combination of the conical holder of the non-conducting-material compartment C with wick-tube D, when constructed as herein described, and for the purposes set forth. i
JOHN ALLEN.
