IMPROVEMENTS IN CORONAS CHANDELIERS GAS AND OTHER STANDARDS AND OTHER LAMPS
Year: 1884

page_text: We JOHN DEAKIN READY of N° 23 Bilston Street Wolverhampton in the
County of Stafford Brassfounder trading as Ready and Son and CHARLES MEASON
of Drayton Villa Havelock Road Handsworth in the County of Stafford Designer
do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN CORONAS
CHANDELIERS GAS AND OTHER STANDARDS AND OTHER LAMPS" to be as follows:-
The coronas and standards to which our improvements principally have reference
and in connection with which we will describe our invention have bodies consisting
either of a single metal ring or circlet or of two or more metal rings or circlets of
different diameters arranged pyramidally or in tiers the coronas being suspended
from the roof or ceiling of the building or apartment to be lighted and the
standards being supported on the floor of the building or apartment as is well
understood. The metal rings or circlets as ordinarily constructed are open at
bottom and are generally perforated or have open spaces in the sides.
Our invention consists in filling up or closing the open bottom and the spaces in
the sides of the ring or rings or circlets constituting the body of the corona or
standard with leaded panes or lights of stained painted or coloured or colourless
glass the pattern or design of the filling in glass being made by preference to
harmonize with the painted or stained windows of the church or apartment in
which the corona or standard is used. By this means the metallic rings or circlets
are closed or filled in at bottom or both at bottom and sides and the unsightliness
of the open work of the ordinary rings or circlets is thereby got rid of and an
ornamental appearance given to the corona or standard.
The application of our invention to chandeliers and other lamps differs in no
essential respect from its application to coronas and standards.
Coronas chandeliers standards and other lamps made according to our invention
may be used for lighting by gas oil candles or other, combustible and for electric
lighting.

We, JOHN DEAKIN READY, of No. 20 Bilston. Street, Wolverhampton, in the
County of Stafford, Brassfounder, trading as Ready and Son, and CHARLES MEASON,
of Drayton Villa, Havelock Road, Handsworth, in the County of Stafford, Designer,
do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN CORONAS,
CHANDELIERS, GAS AND OTHER STANDARDS, AND OTHER LAMPS," and in what
imanner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
-
The coronas and standards to which our improvements principally have reference
and in connection with which we will describe our invention, have bodies consisting
either of a single metal ring or circlet; or of two or more metal rings or circlets of
different diameters arranged pyramidically or in tiers the coronas being suspended
from the roof or ceiling of the building, or apartment to be lighted, and the
standards being supported on the floor of the building or apartment, as is well
understood, The metal rings or circlets as ordinarily constructed are open at
bottom, and are generally perforated, or have open spaces in the sides.
Our invention consists in filling up or closing the open bottom and the spaces on
the sides of the ring or rings or circlets constituting the body of the corona or
standard with leaded panes or lights of stained, painted or coloured, or colourless
glass the pattern or design of, the filling in glass being made by preference to
harmonize with the painted or stained windows of the church or apartment in
which the corona or standard is used. By this means the metallic rings or circlets
are closed or filled in at bottom, or both at bottom and sides and the unsightliness
of the open work of the ordinary rings or circlets is thereby got rid of and an
ornamental appearance given to the corona or standard.
The application of our invention to chandeliers and other lamps differs in no
essential respect from its application to coronas and standards.
Coronas, Chandeliers, Standards, and other lamps made according to our inven-
tion may be used for lighting by gas, oil, candles, or other combustible, and for
electric lighting.
:
And in order that this our said Invention may be more clearly understood we
will now proceed to describe the same reference being made to the sheet of
drawings to the various figures and letters marked thereon, (that is to say).
Fig. 1 is a view in elevation of a corona single tier or circlet with our leaded
panes applied thereto.
Fig. 2 is an under plan view of same, shewing a section of the frame work with
leaded panes applied thereto.
Fig. 3 is a view in elevation of a standard, single tier or circlet with our leaded
panes applied thereto.
Fig. 4 is an under plan view of same shewing a section of frame work with
leaded panes applied thereto.
.
The same letters of reference upon the several figures indicate the like or corre-
sponding parts-the parts unlettered are well known in commerce, and have no
bearing upon our Invention.

page_text: In Figures 1 and 3, A, is the metal ring or circlet, carrying the arms or branches B,
for limiting or holding the lights. In Figures 2, and 4, C, is the framework into
which the leaded panes are applied and supported, also illustrated in Figures 1
and 3.
The above being our said Invention, we wish to say that we do not confine
ourselves to the precise details or arrangement of parts as shewn in the accom-
panying sheet of drawings but that we hold ourselves at liberty to alter or modify
the same without departing essentially from the principle of our Invention, neither
do we claim the construction of the several parts as herein before specified taken
separately and apart from each other.
The accompanying sheet of drawings representing our Invention as applied to a
corona, and a standard, fairly shews our aim and object, and how the same may he
applied to chandeliers and other lamps.
Having now particularly described and, ascertained the nature of our said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
The application of glass, panes, or lights, leaded, and stained, painted or coloured,
or colourless, of any pattern or design, constructed in section, or whole, according
to its requirement, substantially as above set forth and described the whole
forming "Improvements in coronas, chandeliers, gas and other standards, and
other lamps."
