PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Outdoor or Vapour Lamps.
I, SAMUEL NOTON, of 124 Ashton Road, Oldham, in the County of Lancaster,
Ironmonger, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in outdoor or vapour lamps in which the
oil supply for the burner is regulated by a lift or screw down or rotary valve or
tap operated from the outside of the respective supply vessel, the object being to
provide means whereby such valves or taps can be operated at a distance more
quickly and the connection between the supply pipe and burner is rendered much
stronger.
To this end my invention consists in the first place in forming the screw plug, by
means of which the said valve or tap is operated with a coarse quick thread, which
renders the said plug less liable to stick in its nut or socket and the valve or tap
more quick in action, whilst the outer end of the said plug I form or furnish with
an arm projecting therefrom at a suitable angle. This arm is adapted to be struck
with a stick or otherwise receive a slight blow when the lamp is placed out of
ordinary reach and thereby turn the valve or tap and thus facilitate a quicker
closing of the same, which is particularly desirable in case of the flame being
extinguished by wind or rain.
My invention consists in the second place in forming the inlet of the burner
internally, as well as externally, with a screw thread, the former being adapted to
receive the supply vessel pipe and the latter the threaded end of a collar or sleeve,
whilst the plain end of the latter is formed proportionately longer and receives
the respective end of the supply vessel pipe so as to serve as a support for the.
same.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Outdoor or Vapour Lamps.
I, SAMUEL NOTON, of 124, Ashton Road, Oldham, in the County of Lancaster,
Ironmonger, 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 :-
This invention relates to improvements in outdoor or vapour lamps in which the
oil supply for the burner is regulated by a lift or screw down or rotary valve or
tap operated from the outside of the respective supply vessel, the object being to
provide means whereby such valves or taps can be operated at a distance more.
quickly and the connection between the supply pipe and burner is rendered much
stronger.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused to.
be appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference
indicating like parts in the various figures.
Fig. 1 is a side view of an outdoor or vapour lamp showing the top of the oil
supply vessel and the connection between the supply pipe and burner in section.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view showing a modification of the supply pipe connection.
In carrying out my invention the improvements consist in the first place, in
forming the screw plug a, see Fig. 1, by means of which the aforesaid valve or tap

page_text: is operated, with a coarse quick thread, which renders the plug a less liable to stick
in its nut or socket b and the valve or tap more quick in action. The outer end of
the plug a 1 form or furnish with an arm c, projecting therefrom at a suitable
angle, which is adapted to be struck with a stick or otherwise receive a slight blow
when the lamp is placed out of ordinary reach, and thereby turn the valve or tap
quickly and thus facilitate a quicker closing of the same than heretofore has been
the case, which is particularly desirable in case of the flame being extinguished by
wind or rain.
In carrying out the second part of my invention, the improvements consist in
forming the inlet d of the burner internally, as well as externally, with a screw
thread, the former being adapted to receive the screwed end of the supply vessel
pipe e and the latter the threaded end of a collar or sleeve f, whilst the plain end
of the latter is formed proportionately longer and receives the respective part of
the supply vessel pipe e so as to serve as a support for the same.
The same result may be obtained by forming the collar or sleeve f and inlet d in
one piece, as shown in Fig. 2.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim, is-
"In outdoor or vapour lamps."
1st. Forming or furnishing the valve or tap spindle plug a with a quick thread
and an arm or lever c substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2nd. The burner inlet d threaded internally in combination or formed with a
collar or sleeve f, the said inlet d being adapted to receive the threaded end of the
supply vessel pipe e and the collar or sleeve f to serve as a support for the supply
vessel pipe e, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
