I, WILLIAM NUNN, of the firm W. Nunn and Company, 204-206 St. George Street,
Middlesex, Lamp Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention relates to a certain construction of the chimney or globe holder of a
candle lamp, notably that known as the "Silver Torch" so that the holder may be
lifted on a hinge joint of the nozzle without disturbing the chimney or globe when
lighting the candle or otherwise, the holder being held firmly, when closed down, by
a spring clip or catch of the holder taking over a ring or projection on the nozzle.
For the purpose of my invention, I make the ring portion of a candle lamp chimney
or globe holder with a projecting eye piece having a pin hole in its centre and on
some other part, say, diametrically opposite thereto I attach a curved spring plate to
serve as a catch hook.
The ring or a projection on the nozzle has also an eye piece with a pin hole in the
centre of it for attachment as a hinge joint for the holder to move on, and the ring or
a nose piece is provided for the catch hook to take over. I prefer a ring on or to the
nozzle because it forms an all-round bearing for the holder to sit upon when folded
down and secured.
By this invention, a candle can be lighted without actually disturbing the chimney
or globe from the rim jaws or other fastener.

of Candle Lamps.
I WILLIAM NUNN of the firm W. Nunn and Company 204, 206 St. George Street,
Middlesex, Lamp Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of my said inven-
tion 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 a certain construction of the chimney or globe holder of a
candle lamp notably that known as the "Silver Torch" so that the holder may be
lifted on a hinge joint of the nozzle without disturbing the chimney or globe when
lighting the candle or otherwise the holder being held firmly when closed down by a
spring clip or catch of the holder taking over a ring or projection on the nozzle.
For the purpose of my invention I make the ring portion A of a candle lamp
chimney or globe holder with a projecting eye piece B this having a pin hole in its
centre and on some other part say diametrically opposite thereto I attach a curved
spring plate C to serve as a catch hook.
I
The ring D (or a projection) on the nozzle E has also an eye piece F with a pin
hole in the centre of it for attachment as a hinge joint for the holder A to move on-
and the ring D (or a nose piece) is provided for the catch hook C to take over.
prefer to fix a ring D on or to the nozzle E because it forms an all round bearing for
the holder A to sit upon when folded down and secured as at Figure 1.
By this invention a candle can be lighted without actually disturbing the chimney
or globe G from the rim jaws H, H, or other fastener it being only necessary to lift
or fold the globe and holder G, A, up as seen at Figure 2.
Figure 3 is a plan view of the candle lamp.
I am aware that chimney and globe holders or galleries have been jointed to the
stem and also to the burners of oil lamps but never to a candle lamp which has a
removable nozzle such as I show on the annexed drawings.
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 ;
Hinge-jointing a chimney or globe holder to the removable nozzle of a candle lamp,
as and for the purpose described, and substantially as shown in the annexed drawings.
