PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Smoke Bells for Oil Lamps Suspended from
Ceilings.
WILLIAM JONES Postmaster Compstall Stockport SAMUEL JONES Watch-
maker &c Compstall Stockport do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
Applying smoke bells made of glass or other material and of a diameter sufficient
to prevent smoking or firing of ceilings, this we purpose to do by the following
methods.
1st. For ordinary suspended lamps without extension chains viz. by placing in
the centre of a suitable bell a metallic hook which penetrates through the bell and
is formed into a ring on the outside and a hook on the inside of the bell from which
the lamp can be suspended, the bell being suspended by the ring from a ceiling
hook.
2nd. The bell can also be fitted on to the harp of suspended lamps without chain
extensions as follows. By making the filbow at the top of the harp to penetrate
through the bell and screw on the top of the harp.
3rd. For lamps with extension chains. By making the distance between the
chains sufficient to allow of a suitable bell to work freely between them.
Having now described the nature of our said invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, we claim the following advantages over all other existing
arrangements of smoke bells.
1st. Absolute freedom from ceilings being smoked.
2nd Absolute freedom from ceilings taking fire.
3rd. Increased light by reflection from the bell.
4th. Easily detached and cleaned.
5th. If smoke bell should be accidentally broken, the lamp is perfectly secure by
being hung from a metallic hook.
