I EDWARD WILLIAM CLEVERSLEY of No. 48 The Crescent St. James Street
Walthamstow Clerk do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention is an improvement on my Patent No. 8048 dated June 16th 1886,
and consists of making one side of the wick holder of the Burner about one half of
an inch longer than the other side which extra length is simply bent into the shape
of the capital letter "L" which as then formed takes the place of the front flange
or side of the curbed cap originally patented by me and forms in addition a
complete bottom to that cap which is of course made without such front flange or
side. The effect of the improvement is that when the spindle to which the cap minus
the front flange or side is fixed, is turned towards the light so as to throw the cap
over the wick, the cap is brought into direct contact with the improvement and
instantly excludes the air and extinguishes the light. The description of the spindle
and cap above referred to is fully set out in the original description of my said Patent
No. 8048 the benefits arising from which I fully claim and adopt in addition to the
benefits to arise from my said Improvement-such original description is as
follows:-
=
A spindle on which is affixed a curbed cap which spindle is put through two small
holes made in the Lamp burner to allow of the spindle being mounted thereon in
such a manner that the spindle can be turned to and fro.
When such spindle is turned in one direction it causes the cap to go over the wick
instantly extinguishing the flame. When such spindle is turned in the opposite
direction it causes the cap to be removed from the wick.

I, EDWARD WILLIAM CLEVERSLEY, of 48 The Crescent, St. James Street,
Walthamstow "Clerk," 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 relates to an improved apparains for extinguishing the flame in
hydrocarbon oil or spirit burners, and obviates the necessity and danger of lowering
the wicks in the wick tubes, and is intended as an improvement on a Patent granted
to me No. 8048, bearing date June 16th 1886.
The improved apparatus consists of making one side of the wick tube longer than
the other side or a piece of metallic substance may be attached to the said wick tube,
and bent into the desired shape of the capital lettor "L" which by its formation
takes the place of the side flange of the curbed cap originally Patented by me and
forms in addition a complete bottom and side to the cap which is of course made
without such front or side and bottom. The effect of the improvement is that when
tho spindle to which the cap is fixed, is turned towards the light so as to throw the
cap over the burning wick, the cap is brought into direct contact with the opposito
bent flange, thereby entirely enclosing the flame and the charred wick, and excluding
the air and extinguishes the flame.
The description of the spindle and cap referred to is fully set out in the original
description of my said Patent No. 8018, the benefits arising from which I fully claim
and adopt in addition to the benefits to arise from my said improvement, such original
description is as follows:-
"A spindle on which is affixed a curbed cap which spindle is put through two
small holes made in the lamp burner to allow of the spindle being mounted thereon
in such a manner that the spindle can bo turned to and fro. When such spindle is
turned in one direction it causes the cap to go over the wick instantly extinguishing
the flame. When such spindle is turned in the opposite direction it causes the cap to
be removed from the wick."
And in order that my Invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawings thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Figure 1 represents a portion of the wind guard F and the chimney holder in
section, and a side view in elevation of tho wick tube B the top being covored by the
cap A attached to the spindle D at the point H.
The button E at the end of the spindle opens or closes the cap at will. The
spindle is mado secure by means of two pieces of tubo C, C, soldered in their respective
positions.
Figure 2 denotes the end view of the cap A fitting on the curbed flango G, and
tho dotted lines indicate the position of the cap, when the cap is thrown back by
the means of working the spindle for such object.

page_text: Figure 3 is a plan of the apparatus closed up in the form of a case.
Figure 4 represents a transverse section of the wick tube B and cotton wick I, and
the curbed flange G.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what 1
claim is:
:
First The combination of the apparatus for extinguishing the flame in hydro-
carbon oil or spirit burners, substantially as herein described and according to the
accompanying drawings.
Secondly: The combination of the curbed flange G and the cap A worked to and fro
on the spindle D at the point H by moving the button E, substantially as herein
described and according to the accompanying drawings.
Thirdly I claim to construct my apparatus of any shape or size, and to be fitted to
any description of burner, substantially as herein described.
