Paraffin Oil..
WALTER PETER CHERRY of 96 Porter Street Plumber, CHARLES EDWIN
CHERRY of 19 Waterhouse Lane Lamp Manufacturer and FREDERICK DIXON
of 19 Waterhouse Lane Lamp Manufacturer all of the Borough of Kingston-upon-
Hull, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in that class of lamp burners for burning
petroleum or paraffin oil having four prongs for holding the slip fitting.glass
chimney and known as the Star, Sun, Comet and under other names.
Up to the present time four prongs have been used in this class of burner for
holding the slip fitting chimney.
Now our improvement consists in dispensing with the four prongs to the said
burner for holding the slip fitting chimney and thereby substituting on one side of
the gallery of the said burner two metal catches or holders and on the opposite side
of the gallery of the said burner a metal stanchion and thumb screw; the said two
metal catches or holders together with the stanchion and thumb screw on the gallery
of the said burner being arranged for holding a glass globe having a flange at the
bottom part thereof and known as the Eclipse Pine or Lotus. The object of our
invention being to supply a burner at a cheaper price than has hitherto been
produced, for utilizing the Eclipse Pine or Lotus globe now in ordinary use which
we accomplish in the manner hereinbefore described.
