Improvements in Illuminating Lanterns.
I, ISAAC SHERWOOD Junr. of 44 to 50 Granville Street Birmingham in the County
of Warwick, Lamp Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to produce an article to supersede the Illuminating
Bucket for outdoor use.
For this purpose I construct a lantern having preferably a light metal framework
of panels the panels being fitted with different colored glass.
The lantern is intended to burn oil (or candle), the oil vessel being placed in the
bottom of the lamp as follows:-
The bottom of the lamp is formed of two parts, one (the outer) fixed, the other
made moveable for admitting the lamp, this is accomplished by means of a piece of
wire being secured to tlie moveable table on which the vessel stands, the said piece
of wire passing through a hole in the fixed part of the bottom of the lamp and
extending upwards through the top of the lamp which is perforated also to let it
pass, having passed through the top of the lamp it is looped over and returns down
again through the top and bottom and is secured also at this end to the moveable
table.
The wire is sufficiently long to allow it to be pushed down for opening the lamp
and forms a handle for the hand or for hanging up.
The top of the lamp is preferably conical having a perforation at the top to admit
the air, over which is placed a suitable covering or dome to protect it from the rain,
this covering or dome being placed a short distance from the lamp and secured by
suitable supports to the conical top.
Dated this 29th day of December 1888.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Illuminating Lanterns.
I, ISAAC SHERWOOD Junr. of 44 to 50 Granville Street Birmingham in the County
of Warwick, Lamp 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 :-
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a section of the lantern, & Fig: 2 is
a plan.
The object of this Invention is to produce an article to supercede the illuminating
bucket for outdoor use.
For this purpose I construct a lantern having preferably a light metal framework A
forming panels, the panels B being fitted with different colored glass.
The lantern is intended to burn oil (or candle) the oil vessel being placed at C in
the bottom of the lamp as follows.
The bottom of the lamp is formed of two parts, one fixed D the other made
moveable E for admitting the lamp, this is accomplished by means of a piece of
wire F being secured to the moveable table on which the vessel stands, the said
piece of wire passing through a hole in the fixed part of the bottom of the lamp
at G and extending upwards through the top of the lamp at H which is perforated
also to let it pass having passed through the top of the lamp it is looped over and

page_text: returns down again through the top and bottom and is secured also at this end to
the moveable table.
The wire is sufficiently long to allow it to be pushed down for opening the
lamp as shewn by dotted lines at 1, and forms a handle for the hand and for
hanging up.
The top of the lamp at J is preferably conical having a perforation K at the top to
admit the air over which is placed a suitable covering or dome L to protect it from
the rain this covering or dome being placed a short distance from the lamp and
secured by suitable supports M to the conical top.
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 :-
An illuminating lantern having preferably a conical top, perforated, the said
perforation being fitted with a covering, with air space between substantially as
