FLOATING SIGNAL-LIGHT.

Specification forming part of Reissued- Letters Patent No. 9,665, dated April 12, 1881. Original No. 190,970, dated May 22, 1877. Applicstion for reissue filed August 25 1880.

DIVISION B.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be .it known that I, RICHARD PINTSCH, of Berlin, Prussia, Germany,'h'ave invented an Improvement in Lanterns, of which the following is a full and exact description.

This invention relates to a new lantern, which is to be used more particularly on buoys or floating lights, but which is also useful in other places, the lantern being constructed so as to insure a proper supply of air to the flame and exclude water, thatmay be dashed against it, from the burner. I

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents an elevation of the buoy and lantern. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section of the lantern; Fig. 3, a horizontal section on line g h, Fig. 2. i

As shown in the drawings, the lantern C issecnred upon a pipe, D,that projects upwardly from a buoy, B, which buoy is a recipient for compressed illuminatiilg-gas. The manner in which saidrecipient isqmade chargeable with the compressed gas and the arrangement for burner 'm. of 'the lantern through the pipe m, does not constitute part of the invention here another division of reissue of the Letters Patent of which this is one division.

The lantern consists of two concentric glass cylinders, I J, fitting with their upper and lower ends air-tight'against caontchouc packing k k in undercut grooves formed in metal rings G H, of which H is fixed to a lower casing, A, while G is tied down to H by means of tie-bolts X. The top of the lantern is closed by a cover, T, hinged to the ring G at j, and

ner against corresponding rims on G, and secured by a catch, t. The cover has-first, achimney, S, into which the products of com-' bustion from the burner are led 'around'the reflector y, and also through the chimney 3 tion, as'shown at Fig. 3, and is supported by the upper reflector, y. Thechimney S is closed escape through the conical piece sf and holes 0, protected-by the wind-guard s a, and also by a projecting-rim, a", against'the action of the wind, and also against the ingress of water spray. The air for supporting combustion enters beneath the wind-guard t, and, passing through holes z into the annular space between the two glass cylinders I J, descends therein and issues through holes 2' in the ring H into the space below the reflector K, whence it passes, through anumber of small holes, a, in the reflector, into the interior of the lantern. Any water-spray that may possibly find its way through the wind-guard will flow off through the holesz z andthrough other holes z. in the bottom-of the casing A without interferin g with the action of the lamp.

I claim-- 1.. In a lantern, the combination of the two rings G and H, the concentric cylinders I J,

which surround the burner, with the cover having the wind-guard thand perforated reflector K, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. In a lantern, the concentric glass cylinders I J, secured, with caontchouc packing It,

in rings G H, having holes 2 and z, in combination with the hinged cover T and chimney S, arranged and operating substantially as herein described.

3. In a lantern, the combination of the glass cylinders 'I J, with the rings G .H, which are' perforated in line with the space between said cylinders, and with the cnsin g A, having lower drip discharge specified.

4. In a lantern, the combination of the chimneyLS, and its conical piece 8 and cap 8, with the wind-guard and the bnrneranditschimney,

opening 2, substantially as substantially as 'for thepurpose herein shown and described.

5. In a lantern, the upper reflector, y, carry- 1 ing the chimney y, in combination with the outer chimney,.S, of larger diameter, all arranged so that the prodncts of combustion can reach the chimney S through the chimney y and around the reflector y, substantially as.

herein shown and described.
