PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Method of Constructing Lamps or Lanterns with the Parts
Fitted Together with Hinged Joints.
We, SEPTIMUS HUTCHINSON, of 111, High Street, Aston, near Birmingham
Cycle Lamp Manufacturer, and ARTHUR BROADBENT of 82 Hatchett Street,
Birmingham Lamp Maker do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
All joints in the upper part of lamps or lanterns being hinged it is consequently
impossible for the dome to part from the body as it has frequently been found to do
in lamps constructed on the old principle of soldering the joints together the heat
sometimes being sufficient to melt the solder.
All the walls of the lamp being detached and hinged great facility is given for
thoroughly cleansing every part with a minimum of trouble and inconvenience.
Figure 1 represents lamp closed with exception of door at front.
Figure 2 represents all walls of lamp thrown open shewing new method of
construction, hinges marked A.
Figure 3 represents lamp partly open shewing slide which locks sides and base
together.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Method of Constructing Lamps or Lanterns with the Parts
Fitted Together with Hinged Joints.
We SEPTIMUS HUTCHINSON, late of High Street, Aston, now of 162, Wells
Street Birmingham, Cycle Lamp Manufacturer, and ARTHUR BROADBENT
of 62, Hatchett Street, Birmingham, 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 :—
The advantages claimed for our invention are as follows:
The walls of the body, and joints in the upper portion or dome of the lantern or
lamp are hinged together instead of being soldered as heretofore.
All the walls being detached and so hinged together the greatest facility is given
for thoroughly cleansing every part of such lamp or lantern with a minimum of
trouble and inconvenience.
In the upper portion or dome of the lantern the hinged joints being used instead
of solder it is impossible for the dome to part from the body as it has frequently
been found to do with lamps constructed upon the old principle the heat often
being sufficiently intense to melt the solder.
Illustration No. 1 in the drawings left with Provisional Specification represents
lantern closed with the exception of door at the front.
No. 2, all parts of lantern thrown open clearly shewing the new method of
construction the hinged parts being marked "A."
The side walls may be hinged to the back of the lantern instead of to
the dome as shewn in this illustration, or if found desirable to the front of it.
No. 3, lantern partly opened shewing slide "B" locking sides to base,

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
A method of constructing lamps or lanterns such as are used for lighting cycles,
carriages, and all vehicles with parts fastened together with hinged joints instead
of using solder for this purpose as heretofore.
