LANTERN-FRAME Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 8, 1908.
Application filed August 31, 1908. SerialNo. 451,084.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE H. RoLrEs, a citizen of the United States of America, residing in the city of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lantern-Frames, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.
My invention relates to the frames of hand lanterns, and it has for its object, the construction of a frame of this description in such manner that the guard members of the lantern may be readily attached to the guard hoop without the employment of skilled labor.
A further object of the invention is to provide a novel and eflicient construction of the parts by which the guard hoop is attached to the base of the lantern.
Figure I is an elevation of my lantern frame. Fig. II is a cross section taken on line IIII, Fig. I. Fig. III is a perspective view of a fragment of the guard hoop, and one of the upright guards attached to said hoop.
In the accompanying drawings: 1 designates the guard hoop of my lantern frame,
which is provided with an outwardly projecting annular bead 2 within which at the interior of the guard hoop is a groove 3, see Fig. III. The guard hoop is also provided with external vertical beads 4 that are open at their upper ends, as seen in Fig. I and which merge at their lower ends into the annular bead 2, said vertical beads being provided at their rear sides with grooves that receive the upright guards of the lan tern frame, as will hereinafter appear.
At intervals in the annular bead 2 of the guard hoop are cut-outs 5, located adjacent to the vertical beads 4, and from which the metal of the guard hoop is bent inwardly to provide sockets 6, see Figs. II and III. The openings in the sockets 6 are disposed in alinement with the groove 3 back of the annular bead 2.
7 designates upright guards that, throughout their upper portions, may be of any desired shape, such as that usual to the guards of hand lanterns. Each upright guard is provided at its lower end with vertical portions 8 that are adapted to occupy vertical beads 4 of the guard hoop. Beneath the vertical portions of the upright guards are lateral extensions 9, extending at right angles to the vertical portions, and which are adapted to occupy the groove 3 extending horizontally at the back of the annular bead 2 and to be seated in the sockets 6.
10 are guard rings that are connected in any suitable manner to the upright guards 7 and by which said upright guards are held assembled after they have been fitted to the guard hoop. In assembling the parts previously described each individual upright guard 7 is first passed downwardly through the vertical head 4: it is to occupy, the lateral extension 9 of the guard being the part of the guard first introduced into the bead. During the initial introduction of each upright guard into the vertical bead that receives it, the guard is held in a horizontal position, and after the lateral extension of the guard has been passed through said bead, the guard is moved into an upright position during which movement its lateral extension 9 is passed into the adjacent socket 6 at .the interior of the guard hoop, so that said extension will occupy the position most clearly seen in Fig. III. The upright guards are, after all of them have been put in place in the guard hoop, connected by the guard rings 10, and the frame, and more particularly the guard hoop, is dipped into a suitable soft solder, whereby the lower portions of the upright guards and the portions of the guard hoop in which said up right guards have been seated are thoroughly coated with solder to rigidly connect the parts to each other.
11 designates the base of the lantern frame, and 12 is the top ring of said base, which is suitably attached at its lower end to said base.
16 is a spring catch plate connected to the base top ring by a rivet 15. At diametrically opposite points, and extending outwardly from the base top ring are vertical projections 17 which are open at their upper ends and which are adapted to receive the pins 19 carried by the guard hoop of the lantern frame. These pins are adapted to pass downwardly through the projections 17 and to be then moved laterally through horizontal slots 18 in the base top ring, whereby the guard hoop and base of the lantern frame are detachably connected to each other and either of the pins 19 may be placed in engagement with the catch plate 16 to hold the guard hoop and base from movement relative to each other during the use of the frame as a part of the lantern.
20 is a stop pin that serves to limit the degree of outward movement of the catch plate 16. i
I claim:
1. In a lantern frame, the combination of a guard hoop having an annular bead, vertical beads above said annular bead, sockets in alinement With said annular head, upright guards having vertical lower portions seated in said vertical beads, and lateral extensions seated in said sockets, substantially as set forth.
2. In a lantern frame, the combination of a guard hoop having an annular bead, vertical beads merging into said annular bead and open at their upper ends, sockets in alinement With said annular bead, and upright guards having vertical lower portions occupying said vertical beads and having lateral extensions projecting from the lower ends of said vertical beads into said sockets, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 28th day of August, 1908.
GEORGE H. ROLFES. In the presence of LLLY Rosa,
E. M. HARRINGTON.
