ELLAS J. HALE, or FOX-GROW, MAINE.
.Letters Patent No. 79,569,'dated July 7, 1868.
IMPROVEMENT IN LANTrnNs.
TO ALL PERSONS TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS MAY COME: Be itknown that I, ELIAS J'. HALE, of -Foxcroft', in the county of Piscata-quis, and State ofMaine, have invented a. new and useful Improvement in Lanterns; and do hereby declare the same to'bc fully described in the following specication, 'and represented in the accompanying drawings, of whch- Figure 1 denotes a front elevation, v
Figure 2 a side view, and l Figure 3 a horizontal section` of a lantern provided with my invention, the doorof the lantern, in such views, being shown as open at an angle of ninety degrees. p
In such drawings, A denotes the lantern-case, and B the lamp arranged within such case, such lamp having a. quadrantal form, and being fastened to the lower or lesser door, C, of the lantern-canse, so as to bc capable of being turned o r withdrawn'from the lantern-case with such door.
The lantern-casieI make with-two doors, C D, which may be hinged or otherwise applied to the opening a of the case, so as to `enable it to be either closed or opened.
From the inner surface of the upper or larger door, I extend a bracket or shelf, D', or its equivalent, to'
support the glass chimney E or the air-deflector or cone F, or either of them.
vTheeone may be struck up or formed in one piece with the shelf or bracket, or they may be in separate pieces. There are to be studs; b b, and a clamp-screw, c, or other suitable devices, applied to the bracket, for holding the chimney, orI the same andthe d'eector, in place thereon.
The cone or detlector and the chimneyare to be sofarranged on the bracket that When-the door D is closed they shall come or be 'in their properl places over the wick-tube d ofthe lamp, provided the lampdoor C be closed, or the lamp be entirely within th'e lantern-case. i i
The shaft of the wick-elevator is shown at e. It is extended through the lower doorC, and has a. milled head or button,f, xed on its outer end. The upper door may extend a. short distance below the lower one,so as to keep it closed when the upperdopr is closed. Or the lower door mayproject above the outer surface of the upper door, so as to hold theV upper. door closed whenthe lower one is shut.
By having the chimney and air-defleetor connected with the door, or supported'by a. shelf, bracket, or arm,
extendingirom such door, lsuch chimney and cone, or either, when used without the other, will bc withdrawn from over the wick-tube when the door is open, and thus free access may be had to thc wick,ifor the purpose of either trimming or inaming it, or extinguishing its iiamc,` as circumstances may require: So, bywithdrawing the lamp while the upper door is' closed, the same resnlt`may be attained.
I am aware of the invention described in the UnitedStates patent, No. 49,214, and make no claim thereto, my invention having reference to a lantern-case provided with a door in its sideseparate from the lamp, whereas the lanterndescribcd in such patent .has no door in its side, thelamp being hinged to the open bottom of the lantern-case, which necessitates the turning of the case, the deflector, and the chimney, down,ifrom va vertical toa. horizontal position, orthereabouts, t`cnnble access to be had to the lamp; in which caset-he lamp, during auch movement of such par ts,is'1iable to smoke `there. Furthermore, ii' the lamp is turned down from theV horizontal to a vertical position, its liquid contents will be liable toescape from it; but 'with my improved4 lantern there is little or no danger oi' smoking the case when the main door is being opened, or the lamp being .movedout from underneath-the deficctor and chimney, and there is no danger of spilling' oil from the lamp, as
it is not inclined, but is maintained in its horizontal position.
What, therefore, I claim as my invention, in a lantern whose case is provided with-a door to open'tllerefrom,` as described, is I I The combination ofthe glass chimney and air-delector, or either, with the door, so as to be capable of being 'moved withA and by it, with respect to the lamp, in manner as' described, when such lampi ispin the case.
I also` claim the lamp as made quadrant-al in form, and hinged at its radial centre to lthe lanterircase, as vset forth. y i A p And with the lamp andrit's chimney, applied to separate doors of the .lanterncase, I claim' the arrangement f h d r o as when closed, to la on and keep the other closed as specified.
