Lamp Extinguisher.
I JOHANNES KRAJKA of Dormowo, Post Gorzyn, near Birnbaum, Posen,
Germany, Teacher do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of the present invention is an extinguishing arrangement which can
be placed upon the wick-tube of any wick-lamp.
The extinguisher is shown on the accompanying drawing in
Fig. 1 and 2 in two different positions, whilst Fig. 3. shows a top view, and
Fig. 4 a detail.
On the wick-tube an ring b is arranged, upon which a spiral spring c rests.
Over this is placed a case, the upper end of which has two hinges lying opposite
to each other. This admits of two covers h h', the edges of which overlap, to
swing upward and downward on the hinges g. The wall of the case is upwardly
prolonged in such manner that it forms two vertical lugs i at the hinges g.
A Hat spring k, provided with an opening, is arranged at the lower end of the
case f
Should the case be pressed downwards by the two lugs i, then the spring k
catches into a hook m fastened to a ring 6, thereby preventing the return of the
case, whereby the spring is stretched and the covers h h are opened upwards,
Fig. 2.
In this position the lamp can be lighted.
The burner trellis case n has on its bearing
a pivoted double lever p which, on
its inner end, carries an arm p hent at a right angle.
When the lever arm p' of the lever p is moved upwardly, the right-angled
arm på, moving downwardly, presses the spring & against the case f (Fig. 2) so
that the spring k leaves the hook m, and the case, neted upon by the spring c
springs upwards. In this position the covers h, operated upon by the springs q
placed upon the hinges g, fall down upon the wick-edge and extinguish the flame.
In order to give the case fa suitable guidance, it is provided with a guide-slot r,
the pin t of which is fastened to the ring b. For fixing the contrivance it is only
necessary to fasten the two rings bb upon the wick-tube of the lamp.

1, JOHANNES KRAJKA of Dormiowo, l'ost Gorzyn near Birnbaum, Posen
Germany, Teacher, 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 :-
The object of the present invention is an extinguishing arrangement which can
be loved unan the mist wh

page_text: The extinguisher is shown on the drawing filed with the Provisional
Specification in
Fig. 1 and 2 in two different positions, whilst
Fig. 3 shows a top view, and
Fig. 4 a detail.
On the wick-tube a a ring is arranged, upon which a spiral spring crests.
Over this is placed a case the upper end of which has a bearing for the upper
end of the spring and two hinges g lying opposite to each other. This admits of
two covers, the edges of which overlap, to swing upward and downward on
the hinges g. The wall of the case is upwardly prolonged in such manner that
it forins two vertical lugs i at the hinges g
A flat spring, provided with an opening, is arranged at the lower end of the
case j.
Should the case be pressed downwards by the two lugs i, then the spring k
catches into a hook m fastened to a ring, thereby preventing the return of the
ease, whereby the spring c is compressed and the covers are opened upwards,
Fig. 2.
In this position the lamp can be lighted. The burner trellis ease a hns on its
bearing o a pivoted double lever p, which on its inner end, carries an arm p bent at
a right angle.
When the lever arin pl of the lever p is moved upwardly, the right angled
arm p, moving downwardly, presses the spring & against the case (Fig. 2) so
that the spring & leaves the hook m and the case acted upon by the spring c
springs upwards. In this position the covers hh, operated upon by the springs
placed upon the hinges g, fall down upon the wick-edge and extinguish the timine.
In order to give the ease a suitable guidance, it is provided with a guide slot r,
the pint of which is fastened to the ring b. For fixing the contrivance it is only
necessary to fasten the two rings upon the wick-tube of the lamp.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
In a lamp extinguisher, the combination of a case, under spring pressure and
pressed downward by the lugs i, having at its upper end two covers turning on
hinges g, falling under spring pressure with the spring k, having a slot taking into
a book m of the ring and the lever p operating against the spring k, as and for
the purpose set forth.
