PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Protectors for Oil Vessels of Paraffin Lamps.
We ISAAC SHERWOOD Junior and FREDERICK SHERWOOD of 44 to 50 Granville
Street Birmingham in the County of Warwick Lamp Manufacturers, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to prevent the breakage of glass or other breakable
oil vessels of paraffin lamps. It consists of an outer covering of tin or other metal
to protect the glass vessel inside it. The said outer covering may be made in
one piece with holes in it, or in strips with spaces between for the purpose of
ascertaining the height of the oil in the glass vessel. The said outer covering may
be made of brass, tin, or of wire and may be soldered to the socket of the lamp for
the purpose of adding to the security of the oil vessel.
It may also be soldered to the top mount of the lamp, thus making the whole of
the lamp except the burner which screws off in one piece.
Thus it will be perceived that this invention consists of an outer covering to
breakable oil vessels of paraffin lamps, which said outer covering is perforated for
the purpose of seeing the oil through the glass, the said outer covering also securing
the top & bottom mounts of the lamp.
Dated this 17th day of March 1891.
