COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Combined Flower Stand and Table Lamp.
I CHARLES KEMPTON, of the firm of Kempton and Sons, No. 34 Vauxhall Walk,
Lambeth, in the County of Surrey, Glass Manufacturer 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 is intended for a Flower Stand and Table Lamp burning either gas,
electricity, or hydrocarbon oils, combined and fitted together by the container of the
lamp fitting into a raised cylinder, placed in the centre of the dish which contains the
table or cut flowers.

page_text: I construct an ornamental dish either in glass or metal with a trough round the
dish to hold the water to support table or cut flowers with a raised cylindrical shaped
or otherwise portion of the dish rising perpendicularly. In this I insert or drop in
the container or holder of the lamp.
The centre lamp container holder is constructed to be of a greater depth than the
trough, which holds the water.
The outer compartment serves to insulate the container of the lamp from the sur-
rounding water, this insulation of the lamp being the principal feature of my
Invention.
And in order that my Invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawings thereof, reference being had to letters and figures
marked thereon.
Figure 1 represents the elevation of a inetal trough inserted in a wood or plush
covered stand or base.
Figure 2 the section of figure 1.
Figure 3 denotes the elevation of a glass trough with the lamp container fitted to
the centre compartment and the trough filled in with flowers.
Figure 4 represents the figure 3 in section.
Like letters refer to like parts in each figure.
A The trough to hold the water and flowers.
B The cylindrical centre compartment to hold the container of the lamp.
C Lamp container.
D Wood or plush covered stand or base.
E Water in the trough.
F Flowers in the trough.
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 :
1. The combination of the glass trough to hold the water and cut flowers A, with a
cylindrical centre compartment B, to hold the lamp container C, substantially herein
described and according to the accompanying drawings.
2. The combination of the metal trough to hold the water and cut flowers A, with
the cylindrical centre compartment B, to hold the lamp container C, the whole to be
inserted in a wood stand or plush covered base D, substantially herein described and
according to the accompanying drawings.
3. The combination of the whole of the contrivance to be constructed for a Flower
Stand and Table Lamp, and that the outer cylindrical portion of the trough serves to
insulate the container of the Lamp from the surrounding water, substantially herein
described and according to the accompanying drawings.
