ALFRED BROWN 3 Tottenham Road Kingsland London N. Engineer and Contractor
I do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A central light A composed of a chemical composed in the form of a torch enclosed
in a perforated steel cilinder supplied with its luminative power from a glass receiver B
containing a highly illuminative chemical which drops from the bottom of this
receveir upon the Torch. The light from this torch shines through Bulls eyes C
arranged in the form of a hexagon A. A. Figures 1 & 2 being brilliant & 3. 4. 5. & 6
dull lights. At bottom & top of the conical portion of the lanthorn double glasses E
are fixed both glasses being silvered on their internal surfaces and reflecting on their
external surfaces through holes in them D through which a Brilliant light is reflected
from the refraction of the different angles the surplus chemical compound not consumed
finds its way into the receiver J which can be emptied at pleasure. The bottom of the
Lamp F is composed of glasses silvered with holes similar to those at E. This is all
enclosed in a frame made from any existing metal or other substance and of any shape
circular oval oblong square or any composition of angular forms the whole is covered
by a hinged lid ventilated & hung on posts swung on chains or rods or carried by hand
by a handle.

Improvements, in and Connected with Lamps or Lanterns.
ALFRED BROWN 3 Tottenham Road Kingsland London, Engineer and Contractor
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, reference being made to the Drawings filed with the provisional
Specification :-
A Lamp or Lantern producing a Central light the lamp being in the form of a
Torch at A enclosed in a perforated steel cylinder connected with a glass Receiver "B"
which receives a highly illuminative chemical dropping from the bottom of this
Receiver upon the Torch, the central light from the candle or Torch shews through
rising Bull's Eyes C and D, the whole arranged in the form of a hexagon (G)
figures 1 & 2 being brilliant lights and 3 4-5 & 6 being dull lights, at top and bottom
of the conical portion of the Lantern double glasses E are fixed such glasses being
silvered on their internal surfaces and reflecting on their external surfaces through the
Rising Bull's Eyes from which a brilliant light is reflected from the refraction of the
different angles. The bottom of the Lamp F is composed of Glasses silvered with
holes. The whole is enclosed in a frame constructed of any existing metal or other
substance of any shape, circular oval oblong square or of any combination of angular
figures. The whole is covered with a hinged lid ventilated and hung on posts swing
chains or rods or carried by hand by a handle as may be found most convenient.
And the principle of the Invention is as follows as the light shews through the
rising Bull's Eyes it reflects from the external surfaces of the glasses before referred
to as E and through the refraction of the different angles shews a brilliant light which
pierces through the thickest fog.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be used I declare that what I claim is
1. The production of a Superior Lamp or Lantern constructed as hereinbefore
described.
2. That this Improved Lamp or Lantern can be beneficially used with candle oil
or gas.
Dated this 31st day of January 1889.
