RAGLAND MOMAND, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO CONSOLIDATED STREET LIGHTING COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF MAINE.

STREET-LAMP.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dee. 3, 1907'.

Application led March Sli 1906. Serial No. 309220.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RAGLAND MOMAND, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of the borough of Manhattan, in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Street-Lamps, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to gas lamps for street use and its Jfeatures of novelty may be summarized as follows: First: Me ans for pivotally supporting the fiue holder so that it may be swung aside out of the path of the globe when desired to clean or remove the latter. Second: Means for supporting a street sign upon the moving portion of a hinged dome. Third: A flue holder having a telescopio connection with a pivotal support, and having means limiting the movement of the flue in both directions, and for regulating its height.

In the drawings accompanying this application, Figure l is a view of a lamp head embodying my improvements and being partly shown in section. Fig. 2 is a transverse section on the line 2-2 of Eig. l. Fig. 3 is a detail front view of the flue holder and flue. Fig. l is a detail side view .of the same. Eig. 5 is an enlarged partial view of the interior of the flue holder. Fig. 6 is a corresponding external view. Fig. 7 is a partial transverse section enlarged of the dome with the glass sign, and Fig. 8 is a partial inner view of the same in elevation.

In said views the letter A indicates 'a lamp head supporting burner B with mantle C. Supported from the lamp head are the vertical posts D which enter -sockets therefor in a metallic flange E that Acarries the dome.

E indicates a superposed flange portion which is connected to the flange E by hinges e, and is thereby adapted to be swung open. A fastener e serves to connect the members E E. The member E carries the dome F, which is superposed thereover and rests thereon. Strips, f, extend up from abutments f upon the flange member E, being secured to said abutments by screws f2. To said strips are riveted the upper and lower hoops f3, f4, respectively, forming a sign frame, while portions f 5 f5 of the strips f are turned upwardly to support bent glass or other signs f which may be placed thereon. A tongue f7 is cut from or attached to the strip f and interposed between the opposed edges of two segmental sign strips to separate the latter. .The globe G, which is supported on gallery g, is tensionally held or` localized by means of spring fingers g which are attached to the flange member E, tensionally bearing against said globe. The flue holder I-I has a radial arm lt which is in telescopic engagement with an arm h that is supported upon a vertical pivot h2, said pivot being secured to the flange member E, from which it is supported at a point adjacent to the hinge e. Said fiue holder contains the flue I, which is slidably fitted therein.v The holder II has a diagonal slot ha formed therein for the travel of a stud i that projects from the flue, said stud being enabled to enter said slot by means of an indentation or channel h4 which communicates with said slot. At the upper end of said slot a recess h5 is formed, to receive the stud and thereby support the ue at its highest point above the mantle. A series of recesses h are formed in the lower edge of the slot h3, serving to receive said stud a' to support the flue in these several positions over the mantle to regulate the draft. I/Vhen the flue is moved upwardly to its highest point to permit of swinging it aside, it is retained in such highest position by means of abayonet slot hs formed near the lower edge of holder H, and adapted to receive a stud or lug lt provided at the lower edge of the flue. The lug h may be formed by a lip turned up from the lower edge of holder H.

By means of the notches h the flue may be adjusted in height above the mantle to regulate the degree of draft required. When it is desired to remove the globe G, the hinged upper portion of the dome is first swung back, the flue is then raised to its uppermost position, the stud 7L being entere-d in slot hs, thereby holding the liue in such elevated polsition. Then by loosening the set nut hw the iiue holder, carrying the flue, can be swung aside out of the path of the globe, which latter may then be lifted from the lamp.

By means of the pivotal arm h and telescopic joint 71 the flue holder and flue may be adjusted to the exact central position over the mantle, as is obvious. When so adjusted the set nut hw is tightened to secure such adjustment.

The turned up portions f5 of strips f serve to support the glass or other sign members f 6, which latter may be handily placed in and removed from their operative positions.

I claim: l

In a street lamp, a lamp head, posts eX tending upwardly therefrom, a lower Hange member supported upon said posts, an upper Harige member hinged to said lower Hang-e member and carrying a dome, a globe supported upon the lamp head, a Hue holder carv t rying an adjustable Hue, a teleseoping arm Signed at New York this 30th day of March 1906.
