JAMES HERRON Sewart, 119, Bag Lane, Atherton, Lancashire, Carriage Lamp
Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows: -
On the handle or barrel C of the lamp is a piece of wire to form the handle or
barrel fastener A of such dimensions as will allow of forming the safety catch B
at one end of the same. The other end is carried just above the safety catch B,
the space between being sufficient to allow the clip F to pass between, as will
be seen by the drawings, this end is arranged like a screw for some distance, and
moreover than this the whole of handle or barrel fastener A except about one inch
from this end is soldered, the loose end forming a spring which bears on the base of
lamp 1 and consequently makes the clip F when in the safety catch B bear tightly
on same and prevents motion of any kind. The hook shape of the safety catch B
prevents the clip, F working back along the handle or barrel fastener A conse-
quently forming a perfect catch and preventing the handle or barrel dropping out
as it invariably does in the old forms due to the vibration of the vehicle.
In the accompanying drawings A is the handle or barrel fastener, B is the safety
catch C is the handle or barrel, D) is the base of lamp, E is the body of lamp
and F is the clip.

JAMES HERRON Sewart, 119, Bag Lane, Atherton, Lancashire, Carriage Lamp
Maker, 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:--
Referring to the drawings filed with the Provisional Specification.
On the handle or barrel C of the lamp is a piece of wire to form the handle
or barrel fastener A of such dimensions as will allow of forming the safety catch B
at one end of the same. The other end is just carried above the safety catch B
the space between being sufficient to allow the clip F to pass between, as will be
seen by the drawings this end is arranged like a screw for some distance and
moreover than this the whole of the handle or barrel fastener A except about one
inch from this end is soldered the loose end forming a spring which bears on the

page_text: base of lamp D and consequently makes the clip F when in the safety catch B bear
tightly on same and prevents motion of any kind. The hook shape of the safety
catch B prevents the clip F working back along the handle or barrel fastener A
consequently forming a perfect catch and preventing the handle or barrel dropping
out as it invariably does in the old forms due to the vibration of the vehicle.
In the accompanying drawings A is the handle or barrel fastener B is the safety
catch C is the handle or barrel D is the base of lamp, E is the body of lamp
and F is the clip.
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
That on the base of lamp D is attached the clip F and on the handle or barrel is
a piece of wire of the required strength, one end of which is made hook shape B,
and the other end acts as a spring, when the handle or barrel is screwed into the
lamp the hook shape catch B fits round the clip.F; and the: spring end of the
fastener bears tightly on the body of lamp and prevents the handle or barril
shaking out.
