Title: Improvements in Street and similar Lamps.
Inventor: HALL WILLIAM
Filed: 1903-10-19
Granted: 1904-07-28
Abstract: 22,512. Hall, W. Oct. 19. Street and like lamps.-Relates to ventilating and lighting arrangements for incandescent street and like lamps. Upon the apex of the roof is arranged the ventilator, which comprises a shaft B, Figs. 1 and 2, and a hollow and double-walled dome or head C. The dome is formed by two hemispherical parts 2, 3, one fitting within the other, the two being held apart by distance-pieces. The inner part 2 is closed by a plate 6, through which passes the upper end of the shaft B, and at the top is an opening 7, immediately over the end of the shaft. Below the dome C, and surrounding the shaft, is an inverted dome D, a space E being left between the domes. Thus, whichever way the wind is blowing, no downdraught is produced in the shaft B, but the up-draught is assisted. The lower end of the shaft terminates in one, two, or more branches F, the open ends of which come directly over the burner chimneys G. The open ends may carry the reflector H, the latter being dished at the points of connection. In a modification, both domes may be double-walled, and arranged with their plane faces vertical instead of horizontal, the upper end of the shaft being T-shaped, and opening into both domes. To light the lamps, the gas is turned on and a torch applied to the space E, the flame striking back to the mantles. The ventilator may be arranged on the side instead of the top of the lamp, and the dome D may be replaced by a disc, or may be dispensed with altogether. In cases in which an ordinary ventilator exists, the shaft B is used alone, and is bent so as to pass out at the side of the roof. The burners are at the ends of branches radiating from a pipe I, each branch being fitted simply with a strainer and a steatite ring, which serve as the burners. The pipe I is suspended by a spring K and swivel L, the spring being fitted with a hook which may be readily detached so as to remove the burners and mantles when cleaning the lamp. The gas is supplied from the main through a short length of flexible tubing M and a tube N loosely projecting into the end of the pipe I.
