page_text: I, AUGUSTE KIESOW, of 24 and 26 Basinghall Street, in the City of London,
Merchant and Importer, do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as
follows:-
This Invention relates to the production of a new description of Pedestal or base
for the lamp which may be made of pressed or cast glass or Porcelain, and in
connection therewith a new contrivance by which the reservoir for the oil may be
readily fastened into the Pedestal. This contrivance consists of a separate metal
mount containing a female screw which is fastened by Plaster of Paris or otherwise
into the glass or Porcelain Pedestal; the ordinary reservoirs, being made with
bottom screws or sockets upon end of which is a male screw, may then be readily
fastened into the metal mount which is as above described embedded or fixed in
the glass or porcelain pedestal.

I, AUGUST KIESOW of 24 and 26 Basinghall Street in the City of London
Merchant and Importer 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 :-
My Invention relates to the production of a pedestal or base for the lamp which
may be made of pressed cast or blown glass or porcelain or earthenware, with
which is combined as hereinafter described a contrivance by which the reservoir
for the oil can be readily fastened into the pedestal or base and by which the
appearance of the lamp is improved whilst the fastening is firmer or more secure
than is ordinarily the case. This contrivance consists of a metal mount containing
a female screw which is fastened by plaster of Paris or otherwise into a recess in
the pedestal or base the reservoir to be secured to the said pedestal or base being
provided with a male screw for screwing into the corresponding screw in the afore-
said mount which is embedded or fixed in or surrounded by the material of the
aforesaid pedestal or base.
The accompanying drawing represents a portion of a lamp sufficient to illustrate
my Invention.
A is the base or pedestal and B is the reservoir. The base or pedestal A has in
its upper part a recess a in which is embedded the metal mount C having a screw
thread in its interior. The projecting portion b at the lower part of the reservoir B
is provided with a corresponding screw 6 which screws into the screw in the
mount C. This screw 6' may be on a metal piece secured to the reservoir. Owing
to the way in which the mount C is embedded in or encircled by the material of
the pedestal or base A a means of fastening is obtained of a very secure description
and of a very neat appearance as only the upper edge of the mount need be visible
from the exterior of the lamp after the reservoir is secured in place.
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
For lamps for burning paraffin or other oils a base or pedestal of glass porcelain
or earthenware or the like containing or having embedded in or enclosed by, the
material thereof a metal mount C into which the reservoir is 'screwed or fixed
substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated.
