GEORGE ANTHONY BINNS, of 16, High Street, Halifax, Yorkshire, Machine Comb
Maker for the Textile Trades, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:
1
My object is to produce a lamp for use on piano's organs and for other purposes
which shall be more durable, cleanly and at less cost than any other lamp or
contrivance now in use on piano's, organs, &c. To attain this object I take a
peice of hollow metal preferably cast brass, and shape it as follows the bottom
part A I reduce so as to fit the brackets generally in use on piano's organs &c.
for holding candles &c. immedietaly above the reduced part that fits in the
brackets I extend my metal so as to form a well or reservoir B-this well or reservoir
is for the purpose of holding a larger supply of oil than if made straight the outer
side of this well or reservior is free from all projecting corners which would be
likely to injure the lamp, should it by accidient, be let fall on the ground-
immedieatly above the well or reservior is a further reduced part C, the top of
which has a thread on its outer side, thus A, B, C, forms the bottom part of
the lamp.
I then take another peice of hollow metal D, preferably cast brass, and shape
it as follows. I extend the bottom part, and on its inner side I make a thread,
to engage thread on the outer side of at the top of C, then I further reduce my
metal to form a small tube E for holding the wick of the lamp at the bottom of
this small tube on its outer side I make a thread, I then take another peice of
hollow metal or tube l' and shape it to fit exactly over the small tube E, on the
inner side of the part F, I make a thread to engage the thread at the bottom
part of E, this outer tube is to move up or down as the case requires, thus, D
E and F forms top part of the lamp. Lamps made in this way intirely of strong
metal is preferable in every way to any other kind of lamp &c. used on piano's
organs.

a
My object is to produce a lamp for use on piano's, organs &c. and for other purposes
which shall be more durable, cleanly, and at less cost than any other lamp or
contrivance now in use ou piano's, organs and for other purposes. To attain this
object I take a piece of hollow metal preferably cast brass, and shape it as follows,
the bottom part A reduced so as to fit the brackets generally in use on piano's
organs &c. for holding candles &c. immedicatly above the reduced part A. I extend my
metal so as to form a well or reservoir B, this well or reservior is for holding
larger supply of suitable oil than if made straight, the outer side of this well
or reservior is free from all projecting corners, which would be likely to injure
the lamp should it by accidient be let fall on the ground, immedietaly above the
well or reservior B, is a further reduced part C, the top of which has a thread
on its outer side, thus A, B C, forms the bottom part of the lamp. I then take
a piece of hollow metal D preferably cast brass and shape it as follows, the bottom
part is extended and on its inner side is a thread to engage the thread on the
outer side of top of O, then I furthur reduce my metal to form a small tube E
for holding the wick of the lamp, at the bottom of this reduced part E, I make
a thread on the outer side, I then take another piece of hollow metal F, or tube,
and shape it to fit over the reduced part E, on the inner side of this part Fat
the bottom, I make a thread to engage the thread at the bottom part of E, this outer
tube is to move up or down as the case requires, thus D, E and F, forms the top
part of the lamp.
I will now describe the nature of my invention in detail and in order that it
may be clearly understood I annex a drawing of the lamp (left with the Provisional
Specification).
A. is reduced part to fit the brackets generally in use on piano's organs &c.
B. is well or reservior to hold suitable oil &c.
C. is reduced part brought down to suit part D.
D. is cap of metal with a thread on its inner side to engage thread at top of C.
E. is small tube to hold the wick of the lamp.
F. is an outer tube fitting over the inner tube E, it has a thread on its inner
bottom side, to engage thread on the outer side of E, this outer tube is for moving
up or down as the case requires.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner it is to be performed I declare that what I claim is:-
The invention of a lamp for use on piano's organs, and for other purposes,
the whole of which is made of metal, preferably cast brass. I claim the whole
lamp as novel but more partically the idea of the well, and the arrangement
of the double tube.
