TO ALL WHOMIT MAY CONCERN: V l

Be it known that-I, FERDINAND Am, of wolcottville, in' the county of Liflhfield, and State of Connecticut,

I have invented and made a certain new and useful Improvement in Lamps; and I do herebydeclare', the following to be a. full, clear, snd'exnct description of thesaid invention, reference being had to the annexeddrcwin'g,

, mnking part of this specification, Wherein-" Figure 1 is a plan at shuns lemp, Figure 2 is e vertical section ofthe'semc, and

Figure 3 is'a, side view of a vhriationin the shape of-the reflectors that are introduced within thechimne'y."

Similar. marks of reference denote the some parts The. nature of this invention consists in a. reflector, with two polished slirfaces, introduced in the chimney of a lamp and between two wicks and theirflamesi'so that the light will be increased by the reflection; and I introduce a. supply chair in such a, manner as to prevent the reflectors becoming hosted too much or injnredby the smoky lgpors of the flames.

In the drawi-ng I have shown my intention as applied to a limp with three wicks, es the most convenient form in which the invent-ion cen be employed, but two or more Wicks might be'used.

, a is the screw and foraminous body. of the burner, from which the wick tuhes b b 6 rise, diverge, and pass through the per'fo retednir-screen c, tho.t' receives uponits edge the chimney d, that is made cylindrical and slightly contrected'atthe top, as usual.

e e are the wick-roiscrs', of ordinary construction. 7 f is an air-tube, passing centrally through the air-screen c, and supporting the deflectors g, that are formed of slotted dome-shaped projections ebove each of the wick-tubes. t Y

e The uctionof the air upon the flames is the some as in ordinary lamps, the deflectors g directing the nix-to the base of the flame, hut the tube) supplies air above the deflectors g, to perfect combustion in the upper part of the flames and to preventthe reflectors 71, becoming smolcy or too hot.

Thesereflectors stand es radial vertical plates, andjbelngnoliahedon both sides, increase the light, because each actual flame'has' two' reflections, thus,-in a three-light burner,- adding the light of six reflections of the flames, In 3 the reflectorssre shown as leaf-shaped, insteadof being united in the middle, es in figs. 1 and 2.

' Whatl claim, andvdesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- A reflector placed between two or more deflector's,'md within the chimney, so as to reflect the light from theflames in the manner specified; and in combination with such deflectors and reflectors I claim the eir-tnbef, for the purposes set forth.

' In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my signature, this 5thdey of Mny,'1868. ADT.
