Similar letters denote the same parts. Lamps have heretofore been made with a draught'- plate, sustained in the chimney, and with a foramin ous air-distribnter, extending below said draught-plate; and in Letters Patent No. 77,254, granted April 28," 1868, a transparent cone with alia-nge, upon which the glass chimney rests, is shown. My present invention consists in the combination of a movable conc, surrounding the draught-plate, with a perforated air-distributer extending from said draught plate to a movable ring, or holder, that supports both the cone and vthe chimney, and \vhicli rests'npon the edges of the draught-plate, or nearly so, and at the lower end the chimney k to rest upon.

I prefer to make this cone limit myself in this particular. y

The glass chimney remains cool at its lower end, because the cone lt is not highly heated, the contact thereof with the draught-plate e being broken;-
