PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Gas Lamp.
I CHARLES HULSEBERG of 331 City Road Islington in the County of Middlesex
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
The object of my invention is to provide for domestic and other use a gas lamp
that shall be very simple and cheap in construction extremely efficient in operation
and also highly ornamental in appearance if so desired.
To carry out this object I make of metal or other suitable material a ring of the
desired size and shape to act as a corona for this lamp and the gas pipe is led
downwards either vertically or inclined to the centre or thereabouts of this ring at
the level of the upper edge thereof from which position this pipe is bent towards the
periphery of the ring until it passes out at its lower edge closely thereto and the
pipe is continued in this direction as far as may be desired when it is returned by a
sharp elbow and terminates with a suitable burner it may be a flat flame or other
burner as desired and this burner is preferably horizontal or parallel with the ring
and is so situated in respect of the same that the flame of this burner is directly or
properly beneath this ring whereto also if desired may be fitted a deflector for this
flame. A convenient method of connecting the ring to the pipe consists in forming
a block on the inner side of the periphery of the ring in one position through
which block the pipe passes and whereto or wherein it is secured.
A suitable glass
or globe it may be of the tulip shape with an open bottom is secured round the
ring in any convenient manner it may be being supported by projecting brackets
thereon.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Gas Lamp.
I CHARLES HULSEBERG of 331 City Road Islington in the County of Middlesex
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 :-
The object of this my invention is to provide for domestic and other use a gas
lamp that shall be very simple and cheap in construction extremely efficient in
operation and also highly ornamental in appearance if so desired. It will also have
the further advantage that the glass or globo or other shade thereof shall not be at
all likely to be cracked or broken by the heat of the flame or flames.
In order the more clearly to explain this my invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed I refer to the accompanying drawing-wherein I have shown
a most simple and cheap and yet extremely efficient and very ornamental form and
style of my improved gas lamp and Figure 1 is a section of this gas lamp and
Figure 2 is an elevation of the same with a glass or shade in position.
I make of metal or other suitable material a ring A of the desired size and shape
and ornamented or otherwise treated in any manner as may be convenient or
desirable and this ring A acts as a corona for the lamp. In one position on the inner
side of the periphery of the ring A can most conveniently and preferably be formed
a block or enlargement B and the gas pipe C is led downwards to the centre of the
ring A or thereabouts at or about the level of the upper edge thereof from which
position this pipe C is bent towards the periphery of the ring A and passing through
the block B if any issues at the level of the lower edge of this ring A close to the

page_text: periphery thereof and the pipe C is continued in this direction as far as may be
desired or may be necessary for the purpose hereinafter stated when it is returned
by a sharp elbow D and terminates with a suitable burner E it may be a flat flame
or other burner as desired and this burner E is preferably parallel with the plane of
the ring A or nearly so and is so situnted beneath and in respect of the same that the
Hame or flames of this burner E is or are directly or properly beneath the centre of
this ring A or thereabouts.
When as hereinbefore described a block B is fitted in the ring A and the pipe C
passes therethrough it is most convenient as is shewn in Figure I to divide the pipe C
in this place and screw the two ends thereof into opposite ends of the passage in the
block B whereby the ring A is properly supported from and by the pipe C as is
desired but I can also connect the ring A to and support the same from and by
the pipe C in any usual and convenient manner and by any suitable means and
appliances.
The glass or shade F which may be made of any suitable size and shape and can
be ornamented or otherwise treated as may he desired can be supported from the
onter side of the periphery of the ring or corona A by any projecting lugs or
other ordinary appliances thereon.
A plate or deflector for the flame or flames in or of the burner may if and when
desired be fitted inside the corona in any usual or convenient manner but as a general
rule I do not consider any such appliance is required though it sometimes may be
especially when the glass is of a globular shape.
The corona may he in an horizontal or any other position but it is very convenient
to retain it in the inclined position shewn in the drawing whereby an highly
ornamental bracket lamp can be provided.
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 I
claim is
The arrangement and combination of parts and appliances constituting my improved
gas lamp substantially as hereinbefore described and shewn in the accompanying
drawing.
