I, SIDNEY RUSSELL, trading as Alfred Russell and Co, of Bedford Works,
134, Lichfield Street, Walsall, in the County of Stafford, Carnage Lamp Manu-
facturers, Coach and Saddlers Ironmongers, 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 the improvements hereinafter described in or con-
nected with carriage lamps, and has for its object to provide means whereby the
handle or candle tube of such lamps may be connected or disconnected to the
lamp in an expeditious manner, the connection being such as to effectually
secure the said handle to the lamp without any danger of the same becoming
disconnected.
The nature of my invention will be more clearly understood by reference to
the accompanying drawings, the same letters of reference indicating similar parts
throughout.
Figure 1 illustrates a front elevation of an ordinary carriage lamp with my
improved attachment attached Figure 2 18 a cross section taken through the
top of the lamp showing the method of attaching the handle Figure 3 18 a
similar view with the handle or candle tube detached Figure 4 18 a side
elevation and plan of the handle or candle tube A represents the body of the
lamp and B the lamp socket, which is provided with the recesses F F¹ The

page_text: candle tube E which fits the socket B is furnished with two projections D DI
arranged to take or engage with the recesses F FI At the bottom of the body
of the lamp I attach the spring H provided with the recesses I and I'
When it is desired to connect the candle tube to the lamp the end is inserted
in the socket B with the projections D D¹ engaging in the recesses F F1 In
this position the candle tube is forced home and turned to the right in the
direction of the arrow (Figure 2) which causes the projection D to take into the
recess I and the projection D to take into the recess I'.
The stop J prevents the said candle tube turning too far
When the projections D and D¹ are in the position shown at Figure 2 they
rest on the bottom of the body of the lamp, and it will be obvious that the
candle tube cannot fall out of the socket When it is desired to release the
candle tube it is turned in the reverse direction and with-drawn from the socket.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same 18 to be performed I declare that what
I claim 18.—
1 The combination of a carriage lamp with recesses F and F adapted to take
the projections D and D¹ the spring H and the recesses therein I and I' and the
stop J substantially as described and illustrated and for the purpose set forth.
