UNITED STATES PATENT @FFIQE.

VICTOR H. SLINACK, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO PENNSYL- VANIA GLOBE GAS LIGHT COMPANY, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, A COR- PORATION OF PENNSYLVANIA.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 2, 1911.

Application filed April 2, 1909. Serial No. 487,567.

To all whom it may concem:

Be it known that I, VICTOR H. SLINACK, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Holder for Inverted-Mantle Supports or Carriers, of which the following is a specification.

The principal object of the present invention is to provide for the convenient and safe application of inverted mantles to burn ers such as have chimneys and such as are frequently employed in street lighting.

The invention will be finally claimed but first described in connection with the embodiment of it selected for illustration in the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1, is a view, partly in section, show ing a mantle support holder embodying features of the invention. Fig. 2, is a top or plan view showing the holder in application to a chinmey and arranged to hold a mantle support, and Fig. 3, is a perspective view of the holder detached.

In the drawings the holder comprises a ring 1, provided with hangers 2. The hangers extend outwardly and upwardly as at 3, from the ring, thence upwardly as at 4, and terminate in radially extending portions or fingers 5. The hangers are shown to extend from one edge of the ring so that the ring hangs edgewise. When this arrangement of ring is employed comparatively little of its surface is presented to the hot products of combustion. The holder is inserted into the top of the chimney 6, and the hangers engage the wall of the chimney, thus centering the ring 1, and detachably securing it to the chimney. The hangers serve to attach the holder to the chimney in such a way that the two parts may be handled as one. In the construction shown in the drawings the fingers 5, overlie the top of the chimney. The parts 4, abut on the inner surface of the flange at the top of the chimney and the parts 3, give the necessary resiliency to the hangers. The invention, however, is not limited to this special arrangement. The chimney may be attached to and detached from the burner 7. For this purpose spring fingers 8, are shown.

The mantle support consists of a ring 9, having radial arms 10, projecting from one of its edges. To this ring 9, is secured the inverted mantle 11. The ring of the mantle support together with the mantle is dropped through the ring 1, and the arms 10, rest on the ring 1, thus the mantle is supported. Obviously the mantle 11, can be readily passed through the ring 1, for which purpose the operator may take hold of one of the arms 10. When the parts are in this position the mantle can be lifted and handled with the chimney and by merely applying the chimney to the burner, the mantle is brought into proper position in respect to the outlet orifice of the burner.

What I claim is:

The combination in an inverted light of a chimney, a mantle support holder depending from the top rim of the chimney, a mantle support depending from the holder, and spring fingers depending from the burner structure and constituting a spring socket into and out of which the chimney may be inserted and withdrawn with the described parts depending therefrom.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name.

VICTOR I-I. SLINAOK.
