To a/Zlwhom t may concern,.-

Be it known that I, ELBEIDGE GEORGE HADEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Charlottesville, in the county of Albemarle and State of Virginia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Lamps, of which the following is a specication.

This invention relates to lamps, and more particularly to oil-lamps having reservoirs for supplying oil to the burners.

One of the objects of the invention is the provision of means in the reservoir for containing the oil to prevent accidental explosion.

Another object is the provision of means to prevent overflow of the oil supplied to the burners.

A further object of the invention is the provision of means to insure that the bottoms of the wick-receptacles are on a level with the bottom of the oil-reservoir.

A still further obj ect of the invention is the provision of means for the reception of the wicks, the said means bein only large enough to contain the wick a one, thereby overcoming any liability of explosion at these localities.

Another object of the invention is the provision of means for the reception of the wicks so that the same may extend slightly above the level of the top of the oil-reservoir,which prevents the oil from overflowing.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of means including an oil-reservoir having an incombustible filling and burners in communication with the reservoir for heating and cooking purposes and adaptable to any form of cooking-stove of the usual construction.

`With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter referred to and as embodied in the accompanying drawings, which disclose the preferred construction of my invention. I desire it to be understood, however, that I may make such changes, variations, and modifications as come properly within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the lamp and burners. Fig. 2 is a view in part section of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of one of the wick-receptacles. Fig. 4 is a modification of the lamp and burners.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

The vnumeral 1 indicates a bracket, of metal piping, and includes a hanger member 2 and transversely-extending arms 3 and- 4, eachof the latter having communication with the hanger member 2 and provided with' cut-offs 5 and 6 of the usual type. Said arms 3 and 4 are secured to the crank member 2 by a coupling 4 for connecting the same and also to reinforce the point of juncture.

` Surrounding the hanger member 2 is an oilreceiving reservoir 7, having a contracted lower extremity secured in the coupling 4. However, said reservoir may be of any size and shape found desirable and which is filled with comminuted asbestos 7 or other suitable incombustible material.

At the extremities of the transverse arms 3 and 4 are connected wick-receiving rece tacles 8 and 9, the same being of a size on y large enough to receive the wicks 10 and 11 of ordinary make. These wickreceivinfr receptacles 8 and 9 are of a length to extend a distance above the level of the top of the oil-receiving reservoir 7, so that oil fed to the aid wick-receptacles 8 and 9 will not overow.

Near the bottom of the oil-receiving reservoir 7 and in the hanger-arm 2 is a plurality I of openings 12, so that oil contained in the said reservoir 7 will have communication with the transverse arms 3 and 4 and through the medium thereof supply the wick-receptacles 8 and 9. It will be apparent that the bottom of each of the wick-receptacles 8 and 9 is on a level with the bottom of the oil-reservoir 7, thereby causing the oil to ilow from the said oil-reservoir 7 to the wick-receptacles 8 and 9 and maintain a level with respect to the latter and the said reservoir. For the purpose of closing the oil-receiving reservoir 7 a cover 13 is provided. If it is desired to have only one of the burners in use, it is only necessary to cut olf the supply of oil from the oil-reservoir 7 to one of the wickreceiving receptacles.

In Fig. 4 I have shown a modification having a wall-bracket 14, formed of metal piping, one extremity having an oil-receiving reservoir 15 and the opposite extremity provided with a wick-receiving receptacle 16, said oil-receiving reservoir also being provided with incombustible material, as heretofore set forth, and the wick-receiving receptacle being of the construction shown in IIO . IO Y hollow hanger member provided in proX-.

Fig. 1. It will be observed that the cut-offs 5 and 6 are arranged immediately below the joint or connection of the oil-receiving reservoir, so that when the said cut-offs are in a closed position the oil-supply will not have communication with the Wick-receiving receptacles 8 and 9.

Having described the invention, what I claim is- 1. In combination, a vertically-extending imity to its lower end with a plurality of openings, a coupling member secured to the lower end of said hanger member and provided near each end with a cut-olf, an oil- 'reservoir surrounding the perforated portion of the hanger member, said reservoir contracted at its lower end and secured to the coupling member, an incombustible material entirely filling the reservoir, a transverselyextending arm secured to each end of the coupling member and having the free end thereof upturned, a cylindrical Wick-receptacle having its bottom directly secured to the outer end of each of said arms, and wicks mounted in each of said receptacles and eX- tending from the bottom to beyond the mouth of each of the receptacles, said wicks completely iilling said receptacles.

2. In a burner of the class described, a bracket having a hanger member and transverse arms, each provided with a bore in communication with each other, wick-receptacles mounted on the terminals of said arms, said receptacles being of cylindrical shape, wicks entirely illing the receptacles, said hanger member having a plurality of openings in communication with the bore thereof adjacent to said arms, an oil-reservoir surrounding said hanger member and having a contracted end secured to the same below the openings, an incombustible material entirely illing the reservoir, a cover for the latter to close thesame, and cut-offs regulating the iow of oil through said arms to the wicks.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand -in presence of two subscribing witnesses. v
