PATENT OFFICE.
DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING INCANDESCENT IVIANTLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 770,826, dated September 27, 1904.
Application filed July 16, 1903. Serial No. 165.817- (No-model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, ARTHUR R. SELDEN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of N ewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Supporting Incandescent Mantles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to devices for supporting incandescent mantles and at the same time for increasing the effective life of any mantle. 7
It is well known that the very delicate incandescent mantles commonly used in lamps, such as the Welsbach, are easily broken and when broken become ineifective.
The purpose of this invention is to prevent this breakage.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of a burner supplied with thisinvention. Fig. 2 is a side View, principally in section, on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a cross-section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1.
The usual Bunsen tube 1 is set inside the supporting-frame 2, and upon this supporting-frame is carried the burner-tube 3, having the wire-gauze top 4, as usual. In the present embodiment of this invention the top 3 has three lugs 5, to each of which is attached two horizontally-arranged coiled springs 6' 6. The other end of each of these springs is fastened to the supporting-frame. The spring 6, as stated, is horizontal and is of such tension as to support the parts carried by the tube 3 with the surplus of spring strength, so that said springs do not when bearing their normal loads extend very much out of the horizontal positions. This supporting arrangement of the burner-tube on horizontal springs gives a Very flexible and sensitive supporting means. From the burner-tube 3 or from the cap 4 extends a standard 7, which in the present instance is double, one such standard being on each side, ending at the top in a book 8, on which the mantle 9 is hung. Adjacent to the upper end of the support or supports 7 is a weight 10,attached to said support or supports, for the purpose of creating inertia adjacent to the upper end of the mantle and to steady the upper end of the support or supports 7. This whole mechanism is carried by the spring 6, and consequently lateral or vertical jars or shocks to the mantle-support will be eased, taken up, and absorbed by the said springs 6, while at the same time the support or supports 7 weighted as described, tend to remain in a definite position.
It is found in actual use that this device extends indefinitely the life of a tender mantle and requires extremely rough usage of the clamp to break the mantle.
What I claim is 1. A fixed burner and supporting-frame, a burner-tube having an incandescent mantle supported thereon, and a horizontally-coiled spring supporting device attached to said burner-tube and supporting-frame and supporting said burner.
2. The combination of an incandescent mantle, a supporting-arm for carrying the mantle, which arm is weighted adjacent to the upper end of said mantle, a fixed supporting-frame, and horizontally-arranged springs in the con; nections of said arm and said frame.
