A New or Improved Combined Table Candle Lamp and Bracket
Candle Lamp.
We ROWLAND FRANOIS HEATH of No. 117 Leopold Street Birmingham in the
County of Warwick Lamp Manufacturer and WILLIAM CROOK of No. 42 Erasinus
Road Birmingham aforesaid Manager of Works do hereby declare the nature of this
Invention to be as follows:—
Our invention consists of a combined table candle lamp and bracket candle lamp the
parts of which are constructed arranged and used substantially as hereinafter described.
By our invention the table candle lamp can be readily converted into a bracket candle
lamp and reconverted into a table lamp according as a table lamp or a bracket lamp
is required.
We make the tubular pillar of the candle lamp open at top so that a separable candle
tube containing the ordinary spring and having at its upper part a globe or shade
holder or gallery can be readily placed in and removed from the said tubular pillar.
The tubular pillar has an internal diameter somewhat greater than the external
diameter of the separable candle tube so that the latter fits loosely in the tubular
pillar but the candle tube is firmly held in the pillar and prevented from rattling
therein by means of radial spring arins or clips within the pillar bearing against or
clipping the candle tube. The bottom of the tubular pillar has a hollow foot and in
the rim of the hollow foot a hole is made. for the purpose hereinafter explained.
Across the tubular pillar and at a short distance from its top a cross hole is made of a
size and shape proper to receive the candle tube the said candle tube fitting tightly
therein. The axis of the cross hole in the tubular pillar and that of the hole in the
hollow foot of the candle tube are parallel.
When the candle lamp is to be used as a table lamp the candle tube is fitted into
the tubular pillar and held therein by the spring arms or clips described and the lamp
is used like an ordinary table candle lamp.

page_text: When it is required to convert the table lamp into a bracket lamp the candle tube is
withdrawn from the tubular pillar and passed through the cross hole near the top of
the tubular pillar. The candle tube is thus made to cross the tubular pillar at right
angles and a bracket lamp formed the tubular pillar forming the bracket arm which is
supported in a horizontal position against a wall or other surface by means of its
hollow foot the hole in the rim of the said foot being hooked upon a hook or other
connection on the wall or other surface.
The open end of the tubular pillar when the lamp is used as a bracket lamp is closed
by a cap which may be connected by a chain to the tubular pillar to prevent it
being lost.

We ROWLAND FRANCIS HEATH of. No. 117 Leopold Street, Birmingham in the
County of Warwick, Lamp Manufacturer and WILLIAM CROOK of No. 42 Erasmus
Road, Birmingham aforesaid, Manager of Works, do hereby declare the nature of our
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Our invention consists of a combined table candle lamp and bracket candle lamp
the parts of which are constructed arranged and used substantially as hereinafter
described.
By our invention the table candle lamp can be readily converted into a bracket
candle lamp and reconverted into a table lamp according as a table lamp or a bracket
lamp is required.
We make the tubular pillar of the candle lamp open at top so that a separable
candle tube containing the ordinary spring and having at its upper part a globe or
shade holder or gallery can be readily placed in and removed from the said tubular
pillar. The tubular pillar has an internal diameter somewhat greater than the external
diameter of the separable candle tube so that the latter fits loosely in the tubular pillar
but the candle tube is firmly held in the pillar and prevented from rattling therein by
means of radial spring arms or clips within the pillar bearing against or clipping the
candle tube. The bottom of the tubular pillar has a hollow foot and in the rim of the
hollow foot a hole is made for the purpose hereinafter explained. Across the tubular
pillar and at a short distance from its top a cross hole is made of a size and shape
proper to receive the candle tube, the said candle tube fitting tightly therein. The
axis of the cross hole in the tubular pillar and that of the hole in the hollow foot of the
said tubular pillar are parallel.
When the candle lamp is to be used as a table lamp the candle tube is fitted into
the tubular pillar and held therein by the spring arms or clips described and the lamp
is used like an ordinary table candle lamp.
When it is required to convert the table lamp into a bracket lamp the candle tube is
withdrawn from the tubular pillar and passed through the cross hole near the top of
the tubular pillar. The candle tube is thus made to cross the tubular pillar at right
angles and a bracket lamp formed, the tubular pillar forming the bracket arm which
is supported in a horizontal position against a wall or other surface by means of its
hollow foot, the hole in the rim of the said foot being hooked upon a hook or other
connection on the wall or other surface.
The open end of the tubular pillar when the lamp is used as a bracket lamp is closed
by a cap which may be connected by a chain to the tubular pillar to prevent it being
lost.
We will now proceed to describe with reference to the accompanying Drawing the
manner in which our invention is to be performed.
Figure 1 represents partly in elevation and partly in section our improved candle
lamp with the parts arranged for use as a table lamp. Figure 2 represents in vertical

page_text: section and plan a portion of the same showing the arrangement of the radial spring
arms or clips for holding the candle tube firmly in the tubular pillar when used as a
table lamp and Figure 3 represents a portion of the tubular pillar of the lamp;
Figure 4 represents in elevation our improved lamp with the parts arranged for use as
a bracket lamp.
The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in the several Figures of the
Drawing.
C
a is the tubular pillar of the lamp and is the hollow foot of the same. In the said
hollow foot. b is a small hole c and in the tubular pillar a is a cross hole d, that is, a
hole passing from side to side of the pillar. The said cross hole d is of a size proper
to receive the candle tube e. The axis of the cross hole d in the tubular pillar a and
that of the small hole e in the hollow foot of the tubular pillar are parallel; ffare
radial spring arms in the interior of and near the bottom of the tubular pillar a as
represented in Figure 2 and indicated in dotted lines in Figure 1. By using the said
radial spring arms, the rattling of the candle tube e in the hollow pillar a is
prevented is a cap chained to the tubular pillar a. The said cap is used to close
the open end of the tubular pillar a when the lamp is converted into a bracket lamp as
represented in Figure 4. The candle tube e is furnished with the usual coiled spring
and nozzle.
In using the lamp as a table lamp the candle tube e is fitted into the tubular
pillar a and held therein by the spring arms f,fas represented in Figure 1.
In order to convert the table lamp Figure 1 into a bracket lamp, the candle tube e
is withdrawn from the tubular pillar a and passed through the cross hole d near the
top of the tubular pillar and made to cross it at right angles as represented in
Figure 4. The tubular pillar a now constitutes the bracket arm which is supported in
a horizontal position against a wall or other surface by means of its hollow foot b,
the hole e in the rim of the said foot being hooked upon the hook i (or other con-
nection) on the wall or surface has represented in Figure 4. The open end of the
bracket arm being closed by the cap g the bracket lamp is complete.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our invention and
the manner of performing the same we declare that we claim as our invention:-
A combined table candle lamp and bracket candle lamp in which the parts are con-
structed arranged and used substantially as herein before described and illustrated in
the accompanying Drawing, whereby the table candle lamp can be readily converted
into a bracket candle lamp and reconverted into a table candle lamp according as a
table lamp or a bracket lamp is required.
