Improvements relating to Carriage Lamps.
We, WILLIAM BURLEY, of Sandford Road, Moseley, in the County of
Worcester, Gentleman, and HALLI WELL ROGIRS, of the Firm of Howes & Burley,
of Bishop Street, in the City of Bumingham, Manufacturers, lo hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows..
Our invention has for its object the construction and anangement of the
socket part of a carriage lamp, and the lamp on or projecting socket bracket
form the caage, in such a manner as to permit of the more ready and con-
venient attachment of the lamp to the lamp 11on, and of its detachment there-
from, than is possible with the ordinary constructions and arrangements of
such parts.
In carrying our invention into effect, we form ΟΙ attach on one side,
preferably the fiont side, of the exterior portion of the callage lamp socket
a projecting plate or key piece, preferably extending the full length of the
socket and made slightly tapening
The lamp non or projecting socket bracket from the cannage, has one side
cut away, or is formed with a gap, corresponding with the aforesaid projecting
plate or key piece on the socket part of the lamp
To insert the lamp within the lamp iron it is unnecessary to pass the handle
part or candle holder though from the upper side of the lamp iron in the
ordinary manner, as the provision of a gap in the non on socket bracket as
hereinbefore described, permits of the lateral insertion of the upper end of the
handle part, when the bottom of the lamp socket part is raised just clear of
After such lateral insertion of the handle part within the lamp 11on,
the lamp is drawn down into its proper position therein, and as the projection
01 hey piece from the socket part fits closely between the sides of the gap the
lamp is effectually secured.

To withdraw the lamp from the lamp non or bracket it is only necessary to

withdrawn therefrom, without the 11sh of indenting or defacing the handle
part incurred with the longitudinal insertion and withdrawal of the whole
handle part of the lamp within or from the iron or socket bracket, such as is

We, WILLIAM BURLEY, of Sandford Road, Moseley, in the County of
Worcester, Gentleman, and HALLEWELL ROGERS, of the Fim of Iowes & Burley,
of Bishop Street, in the City of Bumingham, Manufacturers, 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.-
Qui invention has for its object the construction and arrangement of the
socket part of a carriage lamp, and the lamp 11on or projecting socket bracket
from the carriage in such a manner as to permit of the more ready and con-
venient attachment of the lamp to the lamp iron, and of its detachment there-
from, than is possible with the ordinary constructions and arrangements of
such parts.

In the accompanying sheets of explanatory drawings to be hereinafter referred
Figure 1 is a side elevation and Figure 2 an end elevation representing a
callage lamp and lamp on as constructed and arranged in accordance with
our invention
Figure 3 is a sectional plan on the line ab (Figure 2) and Figure 4 an eleva-
tion, with part in section, showing a portion of the lamp interior.
The same reference letters in the different views indicate the same parts.
In carrying our invention into effect, we form or attach on one side, preferably
the front side, of the exterior portion of the carnage lamp socket a projecting
plate or key-piece A, preferably extending the full length of the socket A' and
made slightly tapering
The lamp iron or projecting socket bracket B from the carriage, has one side
cut away, oi is formed with a gap B', corresponding with the aforesaid projecting
plate or key piece A on the socket part A¹ of the lamp
To insert the lamp within the lamp iron it is unnecessary to pass the handle
pait or candle holder through from the upper side of the lamp iron in the
ordinary manner, as the provision of a gap in the socket part of the lamp iron,
herein before described, permits of the lateral insertion of the upper end of the
handle pait, when the bottom of the lamp socket part is raised just clear of
After such lateral insertion of the handle part within the lamp on,
the lamp is drawn down into its proper position therein, and as the projection
01 key piece from the socket part fits closely between the sides of the gap the
lamp is effectually secured without the use of any supplementary screw or other
clamping or like devices
the non
To withdraw the lamp from the lamp iron or bracket it is only necessary to
laise the lamp until the bottom of its socket part is just clear of the lamp iron;
the lamp can then be withdrawn laterally
By our invention a lamp can be very readily attached to the lamp iron, or
withdrawn therefrom, without the risk of indenting or defacing the handle
part incurred with the longitudinal insertion and withdrawal of the whole
handle part of the lamp within or from the iron or socket bracket, such as is
necessary with the ordinary constructions and arrangements of lamps and irons
at present in use, and without the manipulation of any screw or other clamping
on like securing devices We e are also enabled to provide for the fixing of the
lamps in positions where the head room available is so limited as to preclude the
use of ordinary lamps and irons, and to arrange the candle part spring locking
bolt as C (by which the said candle part is secured to the socket) upon the exterior
of the lamp, on the socket projection A as illustrated.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
1. The improved method of attaching a carriage lamp to the lamp iron or
projecting socket bracket, substantially as described
2. In carriage lamps and lamp irons, the combination comprising a projection
or key piece as A from the socket part A¹ of the lamp, and a corresponding
gapped portion of the lamp iron B, substantially as described and as illustrated.
