Improvements in connection with Lamps and the Casing for same
for Heating Incubators and for like purposes.
I, ROBERT PERRY, of Messrs. Robert Abbot & Co., Huntley, Gloucestershire,
Tin-smith, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
This invention relates to improvements in connection with lamps and their
casings or carriers for use in heating incubators and for like purposes, the object
of the invention being to produce a lamp which can be firmly carried within its
casing or holder while admitting of easy withdrawal for adjustment cleaning or
re-filling with oil.
In carrying my invention into effect when applying my improvements to a
lamp to be used in connection with an incubator or the like apparatus for hatch-
ing and rearing animals or for propogating bacteri I arrange the frame of the
lamp in such a manner that the lamp reservoir and burner can be withdrawn
from the open casing which carries it, the necessary columns or flues within the
casing being arranged in any ordinary manner. I provide upon the lower
portion of the casing which receives the reservoir or oil container, a false bottom
or springing supplementary plate which, by its form, and being connected at
one end has a normal tendency, to rise and press upon the base of the reservoir
or oil retainer, so as to keep it in contact with the rib or ribs formed within the
casing.
I make the ribs or upper contact bars, for the upper portion of the reservoir
or receiver to work against, of a form preferably obtained by placing two wires
or bars, one on each side of the open casing, and forming within these bars a
recess or recesses into which a projection or projections upon the upper portion
of the oil reservoir may engage, being pressed therein by the springing false
bottom or loose plate as hereinbefore described.
One convenient manner which I employ for providing the projections upon the
upper portion of the oil reservoir is to attach a wire or bar upon the upper portion
of the reservoir of a size that it will enter into the recessess or grooves formed
within the guide or contact bars.
To remove the reservoir from the locked position within the casing I provide an
ordinary handle at the end of the reservoir, so that when it is pulled the pins
or locking bars within the grooves of the contact bars may be depressed and
the action of the spring or false base plate thus overcome.
I employ any well known form of burner and reservoir for use in connection
with any type of casing modifying the shape of my springing false bottom plate and
the arrangement of the locking guide bars to suit the type of reservoir and frame
to which my improvements are to be applied.

for Heating Incubators and for like purposes.
I, ROBERT PERRY, of Robert Abbot & Co., Huntley, Gloucester, Tinsmith, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to.
be performed; to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the follow-
ing statement:.
This invention relates to improvements in connection with lamps and their
casings or carriers for use in heating incubators and for like purposes, the object
of the invention being to produce a lamp which can be firmly carried within its
casing or holder while admitting of easy withdrawal for adjustment cleaning or
re-filling with oil.
In the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings Figure 1 is a part sectional
elevation showing my improvements in position within a lamp casing.
Figure 2 is a sectional plan of the same.
In carrying my invention into effect when applying my improvements to a
lamp to be used in connection with an incubator or the like apparatus for hatch-
ing and rearing animals or for propagating bacteri I arrange the frame of the
lamp in such a manner that the reservoir and burner can be easily withdrawn
from the open casing which carries it, the necessary columns or flues within the
casing being arranged in any ordinary manner. I provide upon the lower portion
of the casing which receives the reservoir or oil container A, a false bottom or
springing supplementary plate C which, by its form, and being secured or con-
nected at one end has a normal tendency to rise and press upon the base B of
the reservoir or oil container so as to keep it in contact with the rib or ribs E
arranged or formed within the casing.
I make the ribs or upper contact bars E, for the upper portion of the reservoir
or receiver to work against, of a form preferably obtained by placing two wires
or bars E one on each side of the open casing, and forming within these bars
a recess or recesses into which a projection or projections upon the upper
portion of the oil reservoir may engage, being pressed therein by the springing
false bottom or loose plate C as herein before described.
One convenient manner which I employ for providing the projections upon the
upper portions of the oil reservoir is to attach a wire or a bar 1 upon the upper
portion of the reservoir, of a size that it will enter into the recesses or grooves F
formed within the guide or contact bars E.
To remove the reservoir from the locked position within the casing I provide an
ordinary handle H at the end of the reservoir, so that when it is pulled the pins
or locking bars I) within the grooves F of the contact bars E may be depressed
and the action of the spring or false base plate B thus overcome.
I employ any well known form of burner and reservoir for use in connection
with any type of casing modifying the shape of my springing false bottom plate C
and the arrangement of the locking guide bars E to suit the type of reservoir and
frame to which my improvements are to be applied.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:- -
1. The improved locking and securing arrangements for use upon incubators
and the like lamps for holding the oil reservoir in position substantially as herein-
before described and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

page_text: 2. In a lamp or casing for heating incubators and for like purposes the com- .
bination and arrangement of side guide bars or strips having projections or
recesses formed therein for a locking pin or pins or the like to enter when the
oil reservoir is placed in position with a lower spring plate or false bottom
to press the reservoir upwards substantially, as hereinbefore described and as
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
