ATTACHMENT FOR 'BURNERS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 26, 1909.
Application filed May 23, 1908. Serial No. 434,636.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, F RANK J. FARR, a citii States, residing near Twining, in the county of Arenac and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Burners; and I do hereby declare the foli lowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to lamp attachments, one object being the provision of means for I removably supporting the chimney and hood relative to the lamp burner in such manner I that the chimney and hood may be tilted f back from the burner to permit the lamp to i trimmed or lighted and J dispatch and The flame can be cleaned, the wick extinguished with ease and without burning the fingers. be blown out without smoking the chimney or hood.
Another object is the provision ofmeans capable of being quickly engaged and disen gaged relative to the chimney and hood either or both, to permit their removal.
Another object is the provision of means for releasably locking the on the burner.
A still further object is the provision of a neat, simple and inexpensive device which will greatly facilitate the lighting or'cleaning of a lamp.
To these and other ends my invention consists in certain novel features and combinations of parts such as will be more fully de scribed hereinafter and particularly set forth in the claims.
In the accompanying drawing Figure l is a side view of my invention partly broken away, the dotted lines showing the chimney and hood tipped back. Fig. 2 is a detail side view of the hood. Fig. 3 is a detail top plan view of the burner. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of the clamping collar, the hinge being shown in dotted lines and Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of the I hood in position stationary member of the hinge.
My invention is applicable to table or hanging lamps, and in the latter class of lamps the wick can be easily and quickly nited and extinguished without taking the lamp down.
Referring to the drawings, A, indicates the gallery of any suitable burner provided i with a wick tube (1), the wick in which is raised or lowered by means of the rotary shaft (2) in any convenient manner. B, indicates the hood and C, the chimney.
In the ordinary construction heretofore on the market, the hood was hinged directly to the base of the burner which carried resilient fingers adapted to engage the lower end of the chimney and hold it releasably in position, the chimney being seated on the burner. This arrangement did not permit the chimney to be tilted with the hood. Instead the chimney had to be removed before the wick could be lighted, and then replaced. In extinguishing the flame, it was customary to lower the wick and blow down the open top of the chimney resulting in smoking up the chimney and hood as well as involving some little discomfort from the heat impinging against the face, as well as danger from cracking the chimney. To avoid these disadvantages, I have devised a tilting holder for the hood and chimney which will admit of free access being had to theflame without discomfort or injury to the operator or lia bility of breakage. The holder may be formed in any convenient manner but I have shown it as composed of wire which is both inexpensive and easily made up. The wire or other material may be tempered or not as desired. That form of holder herein shown comprises a supporting member shown in detail in Fig. 5 and consisting of a yoke (3), the free ends of which are turned down. Intermediate-its ends the yoke is provided with a pair of loops or eyes (4), (4) parallel with each other. and extending substantially at right angles to the arms of the yoke. This yoke is formed of one piece of wire which is bent into the two loops in such a manner that the connecting bar prevents the loops from spreading apart.
The arms of the yoke are rolled, crimped or otherwise secured to the outer periphery of the burner, the loops projecting outward and upward from the burner and constitut ing the stationary knuckles of a hinge connection.
The remaining member of the holder comprises a split collar formed preferably of one piece of wire, and consisting of an upper annular strand (7) and a lower annular strand (6) connected at the rear by a back bone (8) of Wire twisted toimpart strength thereto. The lower strand (6) is extended beyond the backbone to form a tail piece (9) of twisted wire, the tail piece being extended laterally intermediate its ends to form a cross bar (10) received in the loops or eyes (4) I In this manner the collar is hingeconnected to the yoke ing to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, the tail piece engaging the connecting bar (5) as a stop to limit its opening movement.
The upper end of the backbone is offset slightly as shown at (11) and the strand (6) is bent into substantially U-shape at the back as at (11) so that it will not engage the chimney and also to afford more resilience to the strands and (7).
The forward ends of the collar terminate in double loops (12), (12), and (13), (13) respectively. Hooks (1a), (14'), are pivotally secured to the ends of loops (12), (12), the free ends of the hooks adapted to engage the opposite corresponding loops (13) (13) to retain the resilient collar in con tracted position.
As one means for connecting the collar and hood, I provide the lower strand (6) of the collar with a plurality of inward projections (15) removably receivable in openings (16) formed in the lower flange (17) of the hoodB. The strand (6) is clamped around the flange and the projections held in the openings (16) when hook (14!) is in locked position shown in Figs. 1 and 4. The hooks are provided with the finger holds (23*) to facilitate the disengagement of the hooks from the loops (13), (13).
The lower end of the glass chimney G is seated on the shoulder (19) of the hood and embraces the wall (20) which operates to steady the chimney. The upper strand (7) is adapted to clasp the .chimney snugly and hold it firmly on its seat at all times when the hook (14:) is in engagement with the loop (13).
In order toprevent the accidental tilting of the chimney and hood and to retain the parts in the position shown in full lines in Fig. 1, I provide the hood B with a spring catch (21). The gallery A of the burner is recessed as at (22) and the catch is adapted to take under the recessed edge of the gallery, the recess guiding the hook to position. A finger hold (23) on the catch permits the latter to be released from the gallery. The inner end of the catch is secured inside the hood as shown by the dotted lines 21' in Fig. 2, and the catch projects through an aperture in the flange (17 of the hood. The hood and chimney can be released from the holder for cleaning or other purposes and the burner can be easily and quickly cleaned, when the chimney and hood are removed.
Pressure against the finger hold (23) in an upward direction will release the catch and is capable of tilt-- hinged to the burner and (21) and permit the chimney and hood to be tilted back when the lamp. 7
Then the collar is formed of wire, the tail piece (9) is first formed from the middle portion of the wire which is next bent to form the cross bar (10) after which it is once more twisted to shape. The wire is then bent to form the lower strand (6) having the projections (15), after which the wire is formed into the \l-shaped loops (12), (12), and (13), (13) respectively. The upper strand (7) oi the collar is then formed and the two ends of the wire brought together and twisted to form the back bone (8), the extreme ends of the wire being spread apart and coiled around the rear of the lower strand (6) as shown. 7
Having thus fully disclosed my invention, what I claim as new is 1.
