Improvements in Cart, Hand and other such Lamps and Lanterns.
We, CHARLES DUNN and ALBERT VICTOR TAYLOR, of 61, 63 and 65, Burbury
Street, Birmingham, Lamp Makers and JOIN PHILLIPS, of 38, Holborn Viaduct,
London, E.C., 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; -
Our invention has for its object improvements in cart, hand and other such
lamps by which we obviate the use of solder in connection with the hinging of
the door thus forming the body, breaker, top, bottom and door without any
soldering and without increasing the cost of manufacture.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practise, we have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which we
have fully illustrated the nature of our said improvements.
Figure 1 is a general view shewing a well known form of lamp made complete
with the exception of the glass or lens to the door, side and back.
Figure 2 is a front view of the frame of the door detached from the lamp.
Figure 3 is a side elevation of the door detached,
Figure 4 is a cross section through door on line 1-2, Fig. 2.
Figure 5 is a reduced plan of the blank from which the door is formed.
Figure 6 is a side elevation of same after the edges are pressed up and before
the flanges are curled.
In the lamp here illustrated the body B top C breaker D and bottom E are
all pressed or rivited together without the use of solder and in carrying my
invention into effect the door A is cut out from a sheet of metal so as to leave
projections a¹ as shewn at Figure 5 after which the edges a³ are stamped or
pressed up as shewn at Figure 6 the projections a¹ being then curled round on
a suitable mandril to the form shewn at Figure 2 thus forming that part of the
hinge, in one with the door A. The other parts b₁ of the hinge, are formed in
one with the body and the door is thus hung by a hinge without any part being
soldered. The same arrangement is carried out with regard to the fastening
where similar projections a are left on the metal at that side and then turned
over the fastening pin F as shewn in Figure 1 and thus the whole of the parts of
the lamp shewn in Figure 1 and which consist of the door A body B top C
breaker D and bottom E are all connected together without the aid of solder
and consequently can not be effected by the heat as was the case when the hinge
parts were attached to the door by solder.
We have shewn our improvements applied to a well known form of lamp and
from which its application to other similar lamps will be readily understood.

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;-
In cart, hand and other such lamps and lanterns, the door A having the hinge
and fastening parts a¹ formed in one piece with the door substantially as and for
the purpose herein set forth and illustrated.
