PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Oil Lamps.
I BARUCH CARS of 1 St. Marks Road Dalston in the County of Middlesex Gentleman
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to that class of lamp in which the gallery and cone together
with the chimney and globe are capable of being raised above the wick tube or tubes
in order to facilitato the lighting and trimming of the lamp and the object of my
invention is to provide a more simple and efficient means than that hitherto
employed for effecting this purpose.
In carrying my invention into effect 1 form the gallery and cone independent of
the body of the burner and I fix to the underside of the gallery two or more descending
legs which pass through tubular fittings in such body with capability of vertical
movement and are connected at their lower ends by means of a cross bar or ring.
To the lower ends of the descending legs is attached by means of a hinge joint one
end of a curved rod which passes upwards through a tubular fitting in the body
of the burner to the outside thereof where it is furnished at its upper end with a
knob or cross bar by which it may be grasped.
By lifting or pulling outward the curved rod the gallery and cone together with the
chimney and globe may be raised above the wick tube or tubes thus giving access
thereto for lighting and trimming purposes and in order to sustain the parts so raised
during the lighting or trimming operation I form a notch or notches in the curved
rod to engage a projection or spring catch carried by the body of the burner.
In applying my invention to round wick burners I form the gallery independent of
the body of the burner and pass the curved rod out through a tubular fitting in such
body as hereinbefore described or I pass such curved rod out through a groove or
recess formed in the burner fitting.
According to an alternative arrangement I substitute for the curved rod a chain or
cord and attach to the end thereof a button or bar.

Improvements in Oil Lamps.
1, BARUCH CARS of 1 St. Marks Road Dalston in the County of Middlesex
Gentleman 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 :-
My invention relates to that class of lamp in which the gallery and cone together.
with the chimney and globe are capable of being raised above the wick tube or tubes
in order to facilitate the lighting and trimming of the lamp, and the object of my
invention is to provide a more simple and efficient means than that hitherto employed
for effecting this purpose.
In carrying my invention into effect I form the gallery and cone independent of the
body of the burner and I fix to the underside of the gallery two or more descending
legs which pass through tubular fittings in such body with capability of vertical
movement and are connected at their lower ends by means of a crossbar or ring.
To the lower ends of the descending legs is attached by means of a hinge joint one
end of a curved rod which passes upwards through a tubular fitting in the body of the
027

page_text: In the example of a round wick burner given at Figure a recessed or grooved
fitting d is provided in the burner fitting a through which the curved rod & passes
to the outside of the lamp and the hinge connection of the lower end of the curved
rod d with the ring c is made sufficiently loose to allow of the slight turn necessary
to secure the burner body & in its fitting a¹ as will be readily understood.
In this example the notch d³ in the curved rod d is caused by a spring d³ carried by
the body of the burner and acting upon the rod d to engage the edge of the recessed
or grooved fitting d* in order to sustain the upper part of the burner c in its raised
position.
In the example given at Figure 5 a chain d is substituted for the curved rod and
the tubular fitting d* is carried by the body of the burner in a similar manner to
that represented at Figures 1 and 2 but the knob or handle d' is formed with an
extension d' to close the tubular fitting d* when the parts are in their normal position
and in lieu of the notch a hook is provided upon the chain d to engage the edge of
the tubular fitting d* and thus sustain the parts in their raised position, or any other
suitable device may be employed for this purpose..
.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of any said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
.
In a lamp in which the upper part e of the burner is formed separable from the
lower part the combination with descending legs fixed to the upper part of the
burner and passing through the lower part thereof of a bar or ring c connecting
the legs c a rod or chain da passage for such rod or chain to the outside of the lamp
and a notch or catch d² substantially as herein shown and described and for the
purpose stated.
Dated this 30th day of July 1890.
