PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A. Cover for Incandescent Lamp Burners.
I, WILLIAM RUEBEN LANE, of 145 Heathfield Road, Handsworth, in the
County of Stafford, Managing Director of the Firm of Winfields Limited, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :—
My invention relates to incandescent lamp burners for producing light by the
incandescence of a refractory mantle. In such burners as at present constructed
the Bunsen burner part of the apparatus, which is adapted to take in air, mix it
with gas and burn the mixture with a non-luminous flame in which, the mantle is
suspended, is exposed to the outer atmosphere and is not protected from drafts.
My invention consists in arranging a neat and ornamental cover of a conoidal or
conical configuration; this cover slips over the burners and it is provided with
suitable apertures for air. It serves the purpose of protecting the burner and
enclosing it to give a more sightly appearance.
The brass cover may be ornamented in any convenient way.

I, WILLIAM RUEBEN LANE, of 145, Heathfield Road, Handsworth, in the
County of Stafford, Managing Director of the Firm of Winfields Limited, 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 incandescent lamp burners for producing light by the
incandescence of a refractory mantle. In such burners as at present constructed
the Bunsen burner part of the apparatus, which is adapted to take in air, mix it
with gas and burn the mixture with a non-luminous flame in which the mantle
is suspended, is exposed to the outer atmosphere, and is not protected from
draughts.
My invention consists in arranging a neat and ornamental cover of a conoidal or
conical configuration; this cover slips over the burners, and it is provided with
suitable apertures for air. It serves the purpose of protecting the burner, and
enclosing it to give a more sightly appearance.
The brass cover may be ornamented in any convenient way. Although I prefer
a brass or a metal cover yet I may use other materials without departing from the
invention. I may for example use glass as the material for the cover.
Referring to the accompanying sheet of drawings,
Figure 1 shows in elevation a cover A arranged in position and covering the
part of the lamp fitting below the bye pass cock B as well as above it.

page_text: Figure 2 shows also in elevation a cover A of a different design which cover
leaves the bye pass cock B free. This cover has the advantage that the cock B
does not require to be removed to place the cover in position.
Figure 3 shows in elevation a cover similar in design to that of Figure 1 but
having a shorter body to fit above the cock B as in Figure 2 the lower edge of the
cover being turned in to be held between the burner part and the cock when they
are screwed together.
In these three modifications the air holes of the Bunsen burner are covered
in and protected from draught and the appearance of the fitting is greatly
improved.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be carried into effect I declare that what
I claim is:-
