and other Gas Fixtures.
I, CAMILLA JULIER, residing at 107 Main Street, Greenfield, in the County of
Hancock, and State of Indiana, United States of America, Pattern Maker, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
This invention relates to means for connecting smoke bells with chandeliers and
other gas fixtures, and the object thereof, is to provide an improved device of this
class which is vertically adjustable, and which is provided with arms which are
adapted to support the smoke bells, said arms being longitudinally adjustable.
In the practice of my invention, I provide a smoke bell support which is adapted
to be connected with the depending gas supply pipe of a chandelier or other gas
fixtures, and which consists of two separate parts one of which is oblong in form
and provided with a tubular arni in which is mounted an adjustable rod, and the
other is circular in form and provided with a tubular arm which is also mounted
an adjustable rod.
The oblong part is provided centrally with a circular opening at each side of
which is an outwardly directed extension, and in line with the tubular arm formed
thereon is a slot or opening which opens outwardly and the circular part is pro-
vided with a central circular opening at one side of which is a slot which also opens
outwardly, and the first part is also provided at each side with downwardly
directed shoulders or projections through which are passed set screws, and mounted
in the oblong part or in the slots or openings formed therein at each side of the
central opening are movable jaws the inner ends of which are segmental in form
and provided with serrations or teeth, and said movable jaws are provided with
downwardly directed projections against which the inner ends of said set screws
are adapted to bear.
In order to connect this device with the gas supply tube of a chandelier, the
said parts are separated and connected with said tube, and the oblong part is then
secured to the circular part by means of ordinary thumb screws or in any desired
manner, and then by manipulating said set screws, the movable jaws may be
caused to grasp and securely hold the gas supply tube of the chandelier.
It will be apparent that this device may be adjusted vertically on said tube and
the rods mounted in said tubular arms are longitudinally adjustable therein, and
may be held in any desired position by set screw and said rods are adapted to
support the smoke bells which are connected with the outer ends thereof in any
desired manner.

page_text: arms 12, and may be held in any desired position by the set screws 24, and said
rods 11, are passed through the necks of the smoke bells 25, as shown in Fig. 1,
and said smoke bells are longitudinally adjustable on said rod by means of set
screws 26.
My invention is not limited to the form of the smoke bells 25, and it will be
apparent that changes in, and modifications of the construction herein described
may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacrificing its
advantages.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. The combination with the gas supply tube of a chandelier, the lower end of
which is provided with tubular arms which support the burners, of a smoke bell
support mounted on said gas supply tube, and vertically adjustable thereon, said
support being provided with tubular arms, and longitudinally adjustable rods
which are mounted therein, and smoke bells connected with said rods, substantially
as shown and described.
2. The combination with the gas supply tube of a chandelier, the lower end of
which is provided with tubular arms which support the burners, of a smoke bell
support mounted on said gas supply tube, and vertically adjustable thereon, said
support being provided with tubular arms, and longitudinally adjustable rods
which are mounted therein, and smoke bells connected with said rods, said bells
being longitudinally adjustable on said rods, substantially as shown.and described.
3. The combination with the gas supply tube of a chandelier, which is provided
at its lower end with arms or supports for the burners, of a smoke bell support
which is adapted to be mounted on said gas supply tube, and which consists of two
parts which are adapted to be disconnected, and also disconnected from said tube,
said parts being adapted to be secured together so that one rests upon the other,
and said support being provided with radially movable jaws which are adapted to
clamp said tube, substantially as shown and described.
4. The combination with the gas supply tube of a chandelier, which is provided
at its lower end with arms or supports for the burners, of a smoke bell support
which is adapted to be mounted on said gas supply tube, and which consists of two
parts which are adapted to be disconnected and also disconnected from said tube,
said parts being adapted to be secured together so that one rests upon the other,
and said support being provided with longitudinally movable jaws which are
adapted to clamp said tube, and with set screws by which said jaws are operated,
substantially as shown and described.
5. The combination with the gas supply tube of a chandelier, which is provided
at its lower end with arms or supports for the burners, of a smoke bell support
which is adapted to be mounted on said gas supply tube, and which consists of two
parts which are adapted to be disconnected, and also disconnected from said tube,
said parts being adapted to be secured together so that one rests upon the other, and
said support being provided with longitudinally movable jaws which are adapted
to clamp said tube, and with set screws by which said jaws are operated, and with
tubular arms in which are mounted longitudinally movable rods by which the
smoke bells are supported, substantially as shown and described.
