PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Construction of Lamps, chiefly for Cycles.
I HENRY SALSBURY of 125 and 126 Long Acre, London, Lamp Manufacturer
lo hereby declare the nature of this. invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for object the construction of bodies or frames of say cycle
lamps that the interior may be easily got at for cleaning and other purposes.
According to my invention I attach to or form part of the reservoir the back
portion of the body the outside of which has the handle or antivibration attachments
affixed. This back portion is formed with a groove at its sides and top edges, one side
also carrying by a hinge the other portion of the body of the lamp which forms the
front and sides and carries the usual top of the body and hood also the ordinary
lense and its cone, and the side lights if used. The back portion of the lamp
carries a spring catch for engaging a nose piece on the other part of the lamp when
the two portions of the body are together and the lamp closed.
The grooves in the side edges are to hold the reflector in position and that it can
be easily removed and the one at the top edge is to engage the back edge of the top
of the body to prevent rain or wind entering the lamp.
The hinge pin or pins can be provided with a curled or projecting end to enable
them to be removed and the lamp to be easily taken to pieces when required.
The lamp may be of any shape and the body be in balves or otherwise, in which
case the back portion will carry a portion of the sides.

Improvements in the Construction of Lamps, chiefly for Cycles.
I, HENRY SALSBURY, of 125 and 126 Long Acre, London, Lamp Manufacturer,.
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 has for object, the construction of bodies or frames of say cycle
lamps that the interior may be easily got at for cleaning and other purposes.
My invention will be clearly understood by the annexed drawings.
I attach to or form part of the reservoir A the back portion B of the body, the
outside of which usually has the handle or antivibration attachments affixed. The
back portion B is formed with grooves C, C, into which a reflector can be
slid or be otherwise affixed. To this back B is hinged the other portion of the
body of the lamp which forms the front D and two sides E, F, and carries the usual
top G of the body and hood H, also the ordinary lense and its cone J and the side
lights K if such be provided. The back portion B of the lamp carries a spring
catch L for engaging a nose piece M on the other part of the lamp when the two
portions of the body are together and the lamp closed.

page_text: There may be a groove at the top edge of the back to engage the back edge of
the top of the body to prevent rain or wind entering the lamp.
The hinge pin or pins can be provided with a curled or projecting end N to
enable the lamp to be easily taken to pieces when required.
The lamp may be of any shape and the body be in halves or otherwise, in which
case the back portion will carry a portion of the sides, and the front the other
portion.
I am aware that lamps have been made with a back and one side formed with the
oil reservoir and having the front and the other side as a separate portion hinged
for folding in a diagonal manner, therefore I make no claim to folding the parts of
the body in a broad sense.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
The construction of cycle lamps with the reservoir A and the back B as one
portion, and the two sides E, F, the front D and top G as another portion, the two
being so hinged or jointed that the second portion can be swung round and be
attached to the back which is in a piece with the reservoir as described and
substantially as represented in the annexed drawings.
