Improvements in Combined Gas Globe Supports and Burner Tubes.
I WILLIAM PRIESTLEY 343 Shalesmoor Sheffield in the County of York Gas fitter
do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN COMBINED
GAS GLOBE SUPPORTS AND BURNER TUBES to be as follows :-
My invention has for its primary object to support a gas globe in such a manner
that there shall be a minimum of shadow thrown downwards.
In carrying out my invention, I fix upon the arm of a bracket or gasalier or other
gas fitting, a gas socket having an inlet and an horizontal outlet. On the top of the
socket I fix the globe holder consisting of a short vertical rod and a horizontal ring,
and in the outlet I fix a horizontal pipe of small diameter, turned up when it reaches
the centre line of the horizontal ring of the holder, to receive the burner.
The globes are made with a shoulder at some distance from the bottom edge, to
rest upon the ring, the lower part of the globe being of a smaller diameter than the
ring so that it will readily pass through, and I make the said lower portion of such a
depth that the globe cannot be easily displaced or shaken from the ring.
Dated the 6th day of August 1886.

page_text: I, WILLIAM PRIESTLEY 343 Shalesmoor, Sheffield in the County of York Gas
fitter 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 following
statement :-
My invention has for its primary object to support a gas globe in such a manner
that there shall be a minimum of shadow thrown in a downward direction, a matter of
much importance where a good light is necessary.
The accompanying Sheet of Drawings will illustrate my invention, similar figures
of reference indicate similar parts in both figures.
Fig. 1, represents the arrangement of the globe support, and the burner-tube.
Fig. 2, represents the same attached to a curved gas bracket.
In carrying out my invention, I fix upon the arm of a bracket or gasalier A, or
other similar gas fitting, a gas socket B, having an inlet and also a horizontal outlet
for the gas.
On the top of the socket B, I attach the globe-holder C, which consists of a short
vertical rod or piece C¹, and a horizontal ring C" of suitable diameter to hold the
glass globle.
In the horizontal outlet in the socket B, I screw or otherwise fix a short pipe D,
turned up when it reaches the centre of the ring C", to receive the burner E.
The Globes are made with a shoulder F, conveniently placed or formed, so as to
rest upon the ring C, the lower part of the globe being of a smaller diameter than
the ring to enable it to be readily passed through the said ring, and the said lower
part should also be sufficiently deep to prevent the globe from being in any danger of
being shaken out of its place.
It will thus be seen that there will be the least possible impediment to the rays of
light from the gas flame, by the interposition of solid substance.
I wish it to be understood that I do not confine my invention to the exact and
precise form of the parts as shown in the drawing.
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 combination of gas globe support and burner tube, constructed to
carry the globe in the manner substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated.
2-The combination and arrangement of the parts of a globe support and burner
tube, marked respectively C¹, C, B and D, for the purpose specified, and substantially
as shown.
