COKE-DBAWEBS LAM P- f Applicationfiled March so, 1903.

I To all whom it may concern.-

- :Be it known that I, JOHN S. SNYDER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Meyerswhich may be of any desired shape, but is shown in the drawings as substantially rec- .tangularin shape, having a curved upper end.

dale, in the county of Somerset and'State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Coke-Drawers Lamps; and I do 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.

This invention relates to lamps for the use 'of coke-drawers.

The object of the invention is to provide a lamp of this character which will direct the light into the coke-oven, permitting the coke drawer or operator to see into the oven without being blinded by the light of his lamp.

Another object is to provide a lamp in which the oil tank or font will be out of the direct heat of the oven and to construct a lamp of the character described which will be simple, strong and durable, inexpensive, and well adapted to the use for which it is designed.

With these and other objects in View the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, as will be more fully described,and particularly pointed out in the appended claims. I

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of the lamp. Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional View through the burner-tube and deflector on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1.

In the drawings, 1 denotes the oil tank or font.

2 denotes the oil-feed tube.

3 denotes the wick-chamber, and 4 denotes the burner-tube. The tank may be of any suitable form and holding capacity and is provided in its upper side with a filling-opening closed by a cap 1.

The oil-feed tube is connected at one end to the lower side of the tank 1 and projects laterally therefrom a suitable distance, preferably six inches or more, and connects at its opposite end with the wick-chamber 3 a slight distance above the bottom of the same. The wick-chamber may also be of any suitable SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 753,748, datedMarch 1, 1904.

shape, but is preferably cylindrical and has formed on its upper end the burner-tubeet.

5 denotes a concavecl shield or, deflector,

. 6Idenotes a cross brace or bar arranged near the lower end of the deflector and connected 'at itsends to the opposite edgesofthe same.

7 denotes a tubular collar fixed to the crossbar 6 midway the length of the same and adapted to he slipped upon the burner-tube, thereby connecting the deflector-plate to the same.

lower ends of the plate and wire are adapted to be bent around and fixed to the oil-feed tube 2 in juxtaposition to the tank 1. A hole or opening isformed through the plate 8 near its upper end to permit the lamp to be hung up.

When in the operation of coke-ovens it becomes necessary to draw the coke at night, a light is required by the operator, lamps being commonly provided for giving the required light. It has been found in practice that the light from such lamps when not provided with shields or deflectors shines into the face of the operator and preventing him from seeing into the oven.

Another. objection to lamps as ordinarily used is that the oil tanks or fonts of the same being near the burner and consequently in line with oven-door are in danger of explod ing from the intense heat which comes from J Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction-may be resorted to without departing fr'om the prin ciple or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.

Having thus fully described my invention,

what I claim, and desire -tosecur'e by Letters"- Patent, is

1. A lamp of the class described, comprising an oil-font, a feed-tube projectinglaterally therefrom, a wick-chamber with which thefeed-tube communicates and having a cylindrical burner-tube on its upper side, said tube having-at its base a shoulder formed at the top of the wick-chamber, a hanger secured to the feed-tube'at a point betweenthe font andthe wick chamberya bowed concaved shie'ld deflector, a cross-bar fixed at its ends to the side edges of the deflector and retaining-its bowed form, and a cylindrical'collar Vertically disposed upon the outer side-of thecr'oss bar and directlyengaging the burner 'tube and resting on said shoulder to supportsaid'shield deflector, saidcollar frictionally engaging the tube and axially adjustable thereon td permit the deflector to stand in a plane parallel-with the feed-tube-or at an angle-theretmand" adaptedtobe slid vertically uponthe burner-tube for engagement and disengagement, substantially as described.

2. The combination with a lamp, comprising In'te'stim'ony' whereof =31 have hereunto set my hand in presence of two' subscribing wit nesses.
