I RICHARD SMITH CASSON of The Round Oak Iron Works Brierley Hill in the County
of Stafford Iron 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 consists of an improved folding candle or lamp holder which I have
particularly designed for the use of persons in railway carriages or other vehicles
though it may be found convenient in other places..
To clearly explain my invention reference is made to the accompanying drawing in
which Figure 1 is an elevation of, the holder applied to a railway or other carriage door.
Figure 2 is a plan of the holder when opened out as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3
is an elevation when the holder is folded together for carrying or packing,
- I form from a strip of metal or other suitable material a spring clip consisting of
two tonguesa a having a flattened top. On this top is pivoted at a metal arm ce²
hinged in two or more places say at d d d² which carries on its extremity a candle
socket e, a railway candle lamp or a small oil lamp.
The clip a a-may be conveniently placed upon the frame of the carriage door and
be forced down into the space which contains the window as shown and the arm
being extended as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the light is brought near to the traveller,
catches being used to hold it in position when necessary. A portion of the metal
at each hinge is not cut away but remains as a support for the piece c¹³ or as the
case may be.
If the arm e, c, c², e³ be turned on the pivot until at right angles to the position
shown in Figure 1 and the clip be removed from the door, the entire holder may
be folded up as shown in Figure 3, which renders the apparatus extremely portable
and convenient.
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 1
claim is
The improved folding candle or lamp holder substantially as described and as
illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
