Complete Specification Left, 28th July, 1891-Accepted, 19th Sept., 1.91
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Holder and Extinguishing Device for Tapers and
the like.
I, SAMUEL NUTTALL, of 24 Whalley Road, Shuttleworth, near Bury, in the
County of Lancashire, Loom Overlooker, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
It is made of two pieces of flatened wire, bent in a peculiar shape to hold the
wax taper.
The wire is fixed to a piece of wood three inches square, and one inch and a
quarter thick, for its base. The wax taper light can be set, so as to self extinguish,-
at any given time-from one minute to twenty. The two pieces of wire referred to
above, stand perpendicular; and are about 8 inches in length-and are bent in an
angle at the top---to about 3 inches in length-the two points of same forming a
spring clip. Into this clip, which forms the holder, the wax taper is placed-higher
or lower, according to time required to burn-which when lighted extinguishes
itself, the moment the light comes in contact with the metalic holder or clip.
Dated this 27th day of October 1890.
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Holder and Extinguishing Device for Tapers and
the like.
I, SAMUEL NUTTALL, of 24 Whalley Road, Shuttleworth near Bury, Lancashire
Loom Overlooker, 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 :-
It is made of two pieces of flatened wire, bent in a peculiar shape to hold the wax
taper.
The wire is fixed to a piece of wood three inches square, and one inch and a
quarter thick, for its base.
The wax taper light can be set, so as to self-extinguish, at any given time, from
one minute to twenty.
The two pieces of wire referred to above, stand perpendicular, and are about
8 inches in length, and are bent in an angle at the top, to about 3 inches in length-
the two points of same forming a spring clip.
Into this clip, which forms the holder, the wax taper is placed, higher, or lower,
according to time required to burn, which when lighted extinguishes itself-the
moment the light comes in contact with the metalic holder, or clip. Fig. 1 shews
the holder A with taper B in position. This holder is made from iron, steel, or any
incombustible substance, in two parts A' and A' secured at bottom to foot F as
shewn at J and J' (Fig. 2) and held together near the top by means of the pin E.
The jaws for holding aforesaid taper B, are formed by bending parts A' and A³
(secured together by pin E as heretofore described) at right angles, as shewn in Fig. 1
and forming small curves in same as at C & D to receive tapers of various sizes
the jaws being slightly bent outwards as shewn at I Fig. 3 to facilitate placing of
taper within same.
To fix taper in holder the two upright pieces A' and A² are compressed together
by hand, when they assume the form as shewn at G & G Fig. 2, the consequence
being that the jaws for holding the taper spring apart at 1. thus allowing the taper

page_text: to be pushed in jaws and placed in aforesaid preparations C and I, and on releasing
the uprights A & A the taper is gripped by the jaws as shewn at C, Fig. 3, and
thus it is held in position on the lighted taper burning down till the flame touches C
or D Fig. 3 as the case may be, it is extinguished, & the taper is held in position
for further adjustment and utilization.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. The extinguisher made from metalics or any thing that is combustible, or
incombustible for wax tapers and the like.
II. The wax taper holder made in any position with the extinguisher for wax
tapers and the like.
