IMPROVEMENTS IN METAL LAMPS AND METAL VESSELS FOR CONTAINING OIL
Year: 1884

page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
I JOSEPH KAYE, of Kirkstall in the County of York, and 93 High Holborn, in
the County of Middlesex, Lock Maker, do hereby declare the nature of my
Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN METAL LAMPS AND METAL VESSELS FOR
CONTAINING OIL, to be as follows:-
The object of this Invention is to construct Metal Lamps and Metal Vessels for
the storage of Oil, of greater strength than hitherto with the same thickness of
metal, that is to say,-If I take any thickness of Sheet-Copper or tinned plato
and construct a Lamp or Vessel for the storage of oil with the said plate, in the
same manner as hitherto constructed, it will not be so capable of resisting bulging
or other strains as it will be if with the same thickness of metal I construct it in
my improved manner.-1 accomplish my object by stiffening the metal by means of
corrugations or regular indentations made in the sheet metal, these Corrugations or
Indentations may be made parallel to the base of the Lamp or Vessel or in any
other direction.

county of Middlesex, Lock Maker, do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN METAL LAMPS, AND METAL VESSELS FOR CONTAINING OIL," and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The object of this Invention is to construct metal lamps and metal vessels for
the storage of oil, of greater strength than hitherto with the same thickness of
metal, that is to say, if I take any thickness of sheet copper, tinned plate or other
metal, and construct a lamp or other hollow vessel for the storage of oil, with the
said plate, in the same manner as hitherto constructed, it will not be so capable of
resisting bulging, or other strains resulting from wear and tear, as it will be, if
with the same thickness of metal, I construct it in my improved manner.―This is
accomplished by stiffening the metal by means of corrugations, or regular
indentations made in the sheet metal.
These corrugations or indentations, may be made parallel to the base of the lamp,
or vessel, or in any other direction. The invention will be readily understood by
reference to the drawings accompanying this specification which show examples of
lamps and vessels for containing oil, made according to my invention, the peculiarity
of which will be quite evident, the casings, handles, spouts, and all parts exposed to
rough usage are constructed of corrugated metal of suitable description.
Having now particularly described. and ascertained the naturo of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is,
The increased stiffening and strengthening of metal lamps or hollow ware metal
vessels for the storage of oil, having the same thickness of metal as hitherto, by
means of corrugations, substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by
the accompanying drawings.
