PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in a Portable Telescopic Lamp Stove for Shaving and
other purposes.
HERBERT STEPHENS, 27, Cambridge Street, Birmingham, Merchant, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my improvements, is to make a portable telescopic lamp, for the
use of travellers & others, which shall be readily adjusted, & also quickly heat,.
the water for shaving, & other purposes. In carrying out my improvements I
make use of any suitable material, as tin, steel, brass, or any other metal. In con-
structing my lamp I form a cup base bottom with cylinder rims & three flangs.
This cup within it, burns methylated spirit, either in its solid or liquid form, or
any other mineral oil. I make a cylinder, with a bottom therein, near its edge.
In the body of this cylinder is carried the water to be heated. The bottom of the
cylinder fits upon the flangs of the cup. I form a lid, to fit, the top of the
cylinder, which has a central socket inside to carry the shaving brush. The flangs,
three more, or less upon the bottom base cup, slides inside the bottom, of the
cylinder up against its base, & acts as a stand. When the water is being heated,
& the flangs glide over the outside of the cylinder, when closed, allowing the edge
of the cylinder, to rest upon the inner rim, & the lid placed on the top of the
cylinder in position. Thus making my improved portable telescopic lamp a most
desirable article to carry. I shall adopt any mere modification in carrying out
my improvements.

HERBERT STEPHENS, 27, Cambridge Street, Birmingham, Merchant, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
-

page_text: the water, for shaving purposes & other purposes. In carrying out my improve-
ments, I make use of any suitable material, as tin, steel, brass or other metals or
materials in constructing my shaving lamp, I form a cup base, with cylinder rims,
& with three more or less fangs. This cup, within it burns methylated spirits, or
any mineral oil desired. I make a cylinder, with a bottom therein near its edge.
In the body of this cylinder, is carried the water, to be heated. The bottom of the
cylinder fits upon the fangs of the cup. I form a lid to fit, the top of the cylinder,
which as a central socket inside, to carry the shaving brush.
The flanges upon the bottom cup, slide, inside the bottom of the cylinder, & acts
as a stand, when the water, is being heated, & the flanges glide over the cylinder,
when closed, allowing the edge of the cylinder, to rest upon the inner rim, with
its wire gauze cover thereon, & the lid, with its shaving brush, placed in position.
Thus making my portable telescopic lamp stove, a most desirable article, I shall
adopt any mere modification in carrying out my improvements. The lid,
may be made without the central socket, for carrying the brush, instead thereof,
the brush may be fitted with a loose tubular handle, & the brush when not in use
placed in the tube, & both inserted, inside the cylinder, with a box to hold soap,
so as to prevent, the brush & handle moving therein & covered by the lid without
the socket.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will more particularly
describe it, with the aid of the accompanying drawings in which similar parts are
marked, with like letters of reference. Fig. 1 represents an elevation of my port-
able telescopic lamp stove in use, burning methylated spirit, & the water boiling.
Fig. 2 represents the lid, with socket, & shaving brush. Fig. 3 represents in
elevation, my portable telescopic stove lamp closed. Fig. 4 is an elevation of
the tubular socket handle, to hold the shaving brush. Fig. 5 represents the
shaving brush. Fig. 6 represents th soap box, which fits inside the cylinder,
with the tubular handle, & shaving brush. Fig. 7 represents the lid, without
the socket.
a cylinder, 6 cup base, e fangs, d bottom in cylinder, e lid, with socket, & shaving
brush tubular handle g shaving brush, h soap box, i lid, without the socket
& shaving brush.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, & in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1st. A telescopic stove lamp, as set forth described and illustrated, in the
accompanying drawings.
2nd. The various the various parts as illustrated, for use in a stove lamp.
3rd. The arrangements & combination of parts, for forming a telescopic stove
lamp for shaving purposes.
4th. A telescopic stove lamp.
5th. A telescopic stove lamp with loose tubular handle, on shaving brush,
& soap box, as set forth described & illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
