Improvements in Coronas or Smoke Consumers for Paraffin, Gas,
and other Lamps and Burners.
We ADOLPH ZALKIN GERMAINS the Inventor and SIMEON FRIEDLANDER
both of 57 Moor Lane E.C. Lithographer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
A cup or capsule, of glass, metal earthenware or any fire proof material being of
the shape of an ordinary conical wine glass inverted, and being about two inches in
depth. Such cup or capsule has attached to its lower rim, supports or clumps or a
ring to which are attached three legs or supports, that serve to maintain the rim of
the cup, one half inch, above the rim of the chimney of the lamp.
This arrangement effectually and entirely destroys all odour or smell that would
otherwise arise, and also equally prevents smoke from issuing from the chimney.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Coronas or Smoke Consumers for Paraffin, Gas,
and other Lamps and Burners.
ADOLPH ZALKIN GERMAINS Inventor and SIMEON FRIEDLANDER both of
57 Moor Lane E.C. Lithographer 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:-
According to this invention we arrange a corona preferably made of glass over
the top of the chimney of a lamp which has the effect of consuming smoke, and
when used with oil lamps prevents any smell of the oil escaping into the room, even
if the lamp is turned down low for any length of time; and further increases the
illuminating power of the light.
To enable this invention to be properly understood we will proceed to describe
the same with aid of the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1, illustrates the invention applied to a gas lamp chimney.
Figure 2, a detached view of the invention.
Figure 3, illustrates the invention applied to the chimney of an oil lamp.
Figure 4, detached views of parts used to connect the invention to a chimney.
Figure 5, a slightly modified construction of the invention.
Figure 6, a detached view of a part of preceding figure.
"
The " corona a may be made of thin glass or other suitable material and bell
shaped, preferably of the same diameter as the chimney of a lamp to which it is
held over the top of by clips b or other suitable means, leaving a certain distance
between the bottom of the " corona "and top of chimney. In constructing a corona
according to Figure 5, the body part a¹ has a top globe a blown out on it. This
has the result of further increasing the light. The legs 61 may be made of glass
and blown on to the body part a².
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed; we declare that what we.
claim is :-
1. A "corona" for lamps constructed and used as hereinbefore described and
illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

2. The construction of a « corona as and for the purposes described and
illustrated by the accompanying drawings at Figure 5.
