Complete Specification Left, 23rd June, 1891-Accepted, 14th Nov., 1891
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvement in Lamps for Road Vehicles.
JAMES DAKERS of Aberdeen in the County of Aberdeen North Britain Coach
Builder do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvement in carriage lamps and their fittings for
road vehicles which is designed to render such more simple, in construction, more
durable and more easily repaired, and as hitherto constructed and fitted.
In carrying this invention into practice I form a lamp holder of iron or steel which
is attached to vehicle. I make a ring or sleeve of indiarubber. I form a groove
round outsides of ring, top and bottom. I close one end of sleeve leaving a small
hole. I fix indiarubber sleeve on inside of holder which fits into the grooves at
each end this holding the rubber tight. I pass lamp down through inside of rubber
the close end pressing tightly on the lamp socket thus securing the lamp socket
from getting loose, and taking away the shake and noise of lamps. In another
modification of my invention I make a sleeve of indiarubber. I close one end all
but a small hole. I draw it on to the lamp where it fits into the holder passing the
socket through the close end of rubber sleeve.

JAMES DAKERS of Aberdeen in the County of Aberdeen North Britain Coach
Builder 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 improvement in carriage lamps and their fittings for
road vehicles which is designed to render such more simple in construction more
durable and more easily repaired and as hitherto constructed and fitted.
In carrying this invention into practice I form a lamp holder of iron or steel
which is attached to vehicle. I make a ring or sleeve of indiarubber. I form a
groove round outsides of ring top and bottom. I close one end of sleeve leaving a
small hole. I fix indiarubber sleeve on inside of holder which fits into the grooves
at each end this holding the rubber tight. I pass lamp down through inside of
rubber the close end pressing tightly on the lamp socket thus securing the lamp
socket from getting loose and taking away the shake and noise of lamps.
In another modification of my invention I make a sleeve of indiarubber. I close
one end all but a small hole. I draw it on to the lamp where it fits into holder
passing the socket through the close end of rubber sleeve.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings I have illustrated the methods of carrying
out my invention.
Figure I shows lamp holder of ordinary design E.
Figure II shows indiarubber sleeve which fits into E the grooves O O holding it
in position F F forming safety catch for lamp socket B.
Figure III A shows ordinary lamp passed down through lamp holder E and
indiarubber sleeve C the safety checks F pressing, tightly against the lamp
socket BX showing ordinary catch for lamp socket B.
In another modification of my invention Figure 4 indiarubber sleeve K. which is
drawn on to Figure 5 K lamp socket B passing through india rubber sleeve K
safety checks F. F. pressing tightly against lamp socket B.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I would have it under-
stood that I do not confine myself to the precise details of construction herein shown
and described, as the same may be varied without departing from the main features
thereof but what I claim as my invention and consider to be new is―
Firstly. The indiarubber sleeve C in combination with Fig. I holder E.
Secondly. The safety checks F. F. for lamp socket B.
Thirdly. Grooves O. O. attached to sleeve C.
Fourthly. Figure 4. sleeve K in combination with Figure 5 and safety catch FF.
