London W. Bankers Clerk do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The Invention consists of an ordinary lamp with two handles to turn-one on
each side-one for the turning of the wick up and down as may be required—(and
the other which is the subject of this application) run through two small holes
attached to the side of the wick holder and on which is affixed a curbed cap
which when the handle is turned, instantly extinguishes the light by the cap going
over the wick-thereby doing away with the dangerous practice of blowing Lamps
out by the mouth, which very often lead to setting the oil alight and causing
explosions.

page_text: An Improved Method of Extinguishing Apparatus for Oil Lamps.
I EDWARD WILLIAM CLEVERSLEY of N° 19 Caxton Road Shepherds Bush
London W Bankers Clerk do hereby declare the nature of my invention for Ar
IMPROVED METHOD OF EXTINGUISHING APPARATUS FOR OIL LAMPS and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
The Improved method of Extinguishing apparatus for Oil Lamps consists of #
ordinary Lamp with two handles to turn one on each ride or both handles on one
side-one-for-the turning of the wick up and down as may be required and the
other a spindle b on which is affixed a curbed cap fixed-through. Two small holes
when turned are made in the lamp burner to allow of the spindle b being mounted thereon
in such a manner that the spindle may be turned to and fro-When turned in one
direction it causes the cap to go over the wick and so instantly extinguishes the flame-
thereby doing away with the dangerous practice of blowing lamps out by the mouth
which very often lead to explosions; and when turned in the opposite direction it lifts
the cap of the wick.
•
The Invention is more particularly described in the drawings hereto annexed:-
A Represents the curbed cap which when turned down by operating the spinulle b
with the handle "C" instantly extinguishes the flame by the cap going over the
wick.
B. B. Shows the handle fixed through indicate the position of the two small
holes wherein the spindle b is mounted.
"C" Is the handle for turning the extinguishing cap-down operating the spindle b.
D. Represents the handle for turning the wick up and down when required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
1stly The extinguishing power by way of Fitting the burner of an oil lamp with a
safety extinguishing apparatus consisting of a curbed cap A spindle by and handle C, all
combined arranged and fitted substantially in the manner and for the purposes herein-
before described and shein.
2ndly The-improved method is a guard against explosions, through not having to
blow down the Lamp in putting it out.
And 3rdly The cheapiness with which any Lamp can be cohl with the improved
method for extinguishing affixed-on nccount of the simplicity of the Invention-
as very little skill is required in the manufacture.
