PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Construction of Oil Lamps.
I GEORGE LORD, 34 North Street Gainsboro' Fellmonger, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved construction of oil lamps, intended to render
such lamps more durable and the parts more securely connected. According to the
ordinary construction of such lamps, the various parts, (the reservoir, stand &c. of
glass, china or other material, and the brass collar carrying the burner), are
connected together by cementing. Instead of cementing these parts together, I
propose to provide them with a screw thread, so that the reservoir is screwed to
the stand, and the part carrying the burner to the top of the reservoir thus
making secure joints, which are less liable to become loose than where cement is
employed.

Improvements in the Construction of Oil Lamps.
I GEORGE LORD 34 North Street Gainsboro' Fellmonger, 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 :-
This invention relates to an improved construction of oil lamps, intended to
render such lamps more durable and the parts more securely connected. According
to the ordinary construction of such lamps, the various parts, (the reservoir,
stand &c. of glass china or other material, and the brass collar carrying the burner)
are connected together by cementing. Instead of cementing these parts together,
I propose to provide them with a screw thread, so that the reservoir is screwed
to the stand and the part carrying the burner to the top of the reservoir thus
making secure joints which are less liable to become loose than where cement is
employed.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood reference is had to
the accompanying drawing, which is an elevation partly in section, of the improved
lamp, A. is the body or reservoir of the lamp, which as shown is formed with an
extension a at top and a¹ at the bottom. The upper one a is cut with a screw
thread on the outside and the lower screwed internally.
The top B carrying the burner is screw threaded internally to correspond with
the extension a so that it can be fitted in place easily and removed when desired.
The base C is also screwed at the top to allow the reservoir to be fitted on.
In order to make a more secure joint rings or washers D of rubber cork or like
elastic material are placed between the ends of the screwed parts.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
1. An oil or like lamp having the body or reservoir, the base, and the top or

page_text: part carrying the burner screwed together substantially as and for the purposes
specified.
2. In an oil or like lamp, the body or reservoir formed with an extension at
top and bottom, each extension screwed to receive respectively the screwed burner
carrier and the base, also screwed, substantially as described and for the purposes 5
specified.
Dated this 13th day of January 1894.
