Improvements in Velocipede Lamps.
GEORGE EDWIN BARKER & SAMUEL HENRY SCARLE, of the firm of
Messrs. Scarle, Barker & Co. Manufacturers of Ship & Railway Lamps & Lanterns
& Speciality in Cycle Lamps & Accessories 13ª St. George's Place, Birmingham,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of our improvements in velocipede lamps are 1st. To reglaze a side
glass, when broken. 2ndly. To prevent the wick in the tube emitting smoke, &
3rdly. To adjust the lamp by a double bracket. In carrying out our improvements
in velocipede lamps, we make a raised frame-mount with 4 small projections thereon,
to hold the side glass of the lamp when in position. The projections upon the
aforesaid frame are fitted into slits, made on the side of the lamp or the side sliding
door thereof. We make the burner of the lamp, or the metal tube, which carries
the wick upon the surface thereof. We scallop or make a curve indentation
thereon. We make a double action bracket clip by forming a thumb-screw-pin
with a right & left hand thread thereon, & which works two screwed barrels, which
are also attached to a right & left hand clip-these clips work inside the usual
socket & the thumb-screwed-pin outside the socket & which is fixed at the back
of the lamp-or on the parallel motion thereof. It is understood, that in carrying
out our improvements in lamps we shall adopt any mere modification for manu-
facturing purposes required.

Improvements in Velocipede Lamps.
GEORGE EDWIN BARKER and SAMUEL HENRY SCARLE, of the firm of
Messrs. Scárle Barker, & Co. Manufacturers of Ship & Railway Lamps & Lanterns,
Speciality in Cycle Lamps & Accessories, 13^ St. George's Place, Birmingham
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:-
The object of our improvements, in velocipede lamps, are 1st. To glaze a side
glass, when broken: 2ndly. To prevent the wick, in the burner; emitting smoke, &
3rdly: To adjust the lamp, by a double action; in two clips-working inside a
rectangular socket-titted on to an iron bracket; upon a machine. In carrying out
our improvements in velocipede lamps, we make a raised frame, mount, with 4,
(more or less,) small projections thereon, to hold the side glass of the lamp, when in
position, the projections upon the aforesaid frame, are fitted into slits; made on the
side of the lamp; or the sliding door, thereof: We make the burner, of the lamp,
or the metal tube, which carries the wick, upon the surface thereof, we scallop; or
make a curvé indentation, thereon: We make the usual rectangular socket.
form, a right, & left, clip having each, a half hollow circle, & these, we place inside,
the rectangular socket, the circle-half-hollow-to work towards. each other; & to
bind round, each side, of the usual india rubber spring ring; which is fitted, inside,
so as to grip firmly, the iron bracket upon the machine. We make a thumb-screw,
thus at one end thereof a thumb-bit with a long pin-thereto, in the centre of

page_text: this pin. We reduce to a small section, & upon each side, of this reduced section,
we make two different sizes of threads, a small size thread near the end of the pin,
& a larger size thread near the thumb-bit. We make two barrels or cylinders one
with a small size threaded hole therein, & a large threaded hole to fit on the
right & left hand thumb screw-these barrels are attached to the right & left hand
clip, for adjustable purposes, within the rectangular socket. We make, a staple, to
hold in position, the aforesaid improved thumb screw, which is fixed, upon the
.outside of the rectangular socket across the aperture. therein-for working
purposes.
The accompanying drawings illustrates our improvements in velocipede lamps.
Same letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.
Fig. 1. Represents a front view of our improved double action clip, working
inside the usual rectangular socket, & the two clips closely holds each side of the
india-rubber ring, & binds round firmly the iron bracket upon the machine.
Fig. 2. Represents a back view, of our double clip, & with our improved screw,
being held in position by the staple.
Fig. 3. Represents our two clips inside the rectangular socket, & without the
ordinary india-rubber spring ring, & also without the bicycle, or tricycle or
velocipede iron bracket, but this view shows the half round, of the right, & left
hand, clip.
Fig. 4. Represents back view, of rectangular socket & our improved right, &
left hand, screw, working inside, the screwed barrels or the two cylinders & part of
the staple, holding the reduced section in our improved screw, & also the staple
attached, to the rectangular socket.
Fig. 5. Represents our two improved clips, & the improved thumb-screw, ready
to be placed, inside the rectangular socket & the hollow half round, of each clip
is shown.
Fig. 6. Represents the two barrels, or cylinders fixed, upon the back, of each
clip, & the thumb-screw, working therein.
Fig. 7. Represents the two improved clips, & with the small screwed hole, in the
barrel, or cylinder, upon one clip-& upon the other clip, the large screwed hole,
in the barrel, or cylinder-so that the two different sizes of the threads upon the
right & left screw, can work therein.
Fig. 8. Represents the thumb-screw-with our improvements thereon-the long
small thread, made to pass through the large hole in the first barrel, & then to
enter, & work in the small screw, hole in the other barrel, or cylinder. The
reduced section, in the middle of the thumb-screw-for the staple to fit, & to hold
the screw, in position-the large thread on the thumb-screw, fits into the screwed,
barrel, or cylinder.
Fig. 9. Represents the staple, for holding, our improved thumb screw, in working
position, & is fixed upon the outside of the rectangular socket across the aperture,
made therein, for working the two screwed barrels, which carries the two clips.
