J. BURNHAM. INSULATOR POR- LIGHTNING RODS.
No. 93,410. Patented Aug. 10, 1869.
new state figment omen.
Letters Patent No. 93,410, dated August 10, 186p.
IMPRdVEMENT IN INSULATORS IOR LIGHTNING-RODS.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent snd-making part of the same.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN BURXHAM, of Batavia,
in the county of Kane, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Insulators for Lightning-Rods; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full. clear. and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accomponymg drawings, and lettersmarked thereon, making a pan; of this description, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective representationof two insulatols, one being fastened to a. roof, and the other to a vertical wall.
Figure 2, a peispective'view of one insulator detached from the building.
Figure 3,-avertical section of the same. 4
The nature of the present invention consists in housing or covering the ordinary glass insnlatorwith a case, which is provided with a pipe running through the glass,'by mean; of which. the rod is so protected that water will not till the space between the glass and rod, and thereby provide a conductor leading tiom the rod to the building, as is now the case with the ordinary insulator.
B represents the roof, and A, the vertical wall of a building to which the insulator is fastened.
H represents an ordinary glass insulator, which is hold in place by means of a staple, J L, in the usual manner.
The housing or case for the insulator on the roof B is shown at G, and it consists of a piece of shoot-metal or other suitable material, which is so formed as to extend about two-thirds around a circular end, F, to which it is so fastened, bysoldcr or otherwise, as to form a water-tight joint. 7
, This end F is provided with a pipe, I, which is somewhat larger than the rod G, which passes t-lnough it. and it is long enough to discharge what water enterstherein at a, point which is some littledistanw below the glass H, the pipe I being held-ii'om turning in the glass by red lead, or any other cement which is suitable for that purpose. p
The housing and pipe for theinsulator, attached to the vertical wall A of the house, are constructed in the same manner as the bnedescribed, onlythat that part of the periphery D, projecting above the shank J of the staple, passes entirely around the end F, as shown at-fig. 3.
By means of this construction and arrangement, the insulator is made as complete during a min-storm as at any other time, for water cannot so collect on the rod, glass, and staple, as to form a connection with the building,
Having thus described my invention,
\Vhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters latent of the United States, is-.
The housings 1) 0, provided with pipes I, in combination with the staples J L, glass H. and rod G, as and for the purpose set forth.
JOHN BURN HAM.
