PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Oil Lamp for Lurries and like Vehicles.
I, JOSEPH NALL, of 63, Corporation Street, Manchester, in the County of
Lancaster, Carrier, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The improvement which forms the subject of this invention relates to hanging
lamps such as are employed by carters for suspending from lurries, market carts,
and similar vehicles; the objects of my invention are to provide a hanging lamp
which can be handled in any careless manner or thrown down without being
affected thereby, and which can be conveniently lighted or the oil renewed.
For the purpose of this invention, I construct a lamp as herein before named
by forming a cylinder of sheet metal open at each end and with a half hoop
handle affixed near the upper edge by which it may be suspended or carried.
One or more circular or other form of glasses are fitted in or around the side of
said cylinder and air holes may also be formed therein. I make the cover of the
lamp so that its lower edge will rest on the upper edge of the aforesaid cylinder
and preferably tapered upwards therefrom with an aperture at the top that is.
protected by a cap: I suspend the oil holder and burner from the lamp cover so
that they may depend therefrom within the cylinder, the bottom of the oil
holder being retained on a level or thereabouts with the bottom open end of the
cylinder, and with a small air space between the periphery of the oil holder and
the interior of the cylinder; said cover and oil holder may be lifted from the
cylinder by any preferred form of handle which may be attached to the cover.
By these means the light is protected from the wind and the burner cannot
become detached from the lamp when the lamp is suspended from a vehicle
by the handle that is attached to the upper portion of the cylinder as herein-
before described.

An Improved Oil Lamp for Lurries and like Vehicles.
I, JOSEPH NALL, of 63, Corporation Street, Manchester, in the County of
Lancaster, Carrier, 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:-
The improvement which forms the subject of this invention relates to hanging

page_text: lamps such as are employed by carters for suspending from lurries, market carts,
and similar vehicles.
The objects of my invention are to provide a hanging lamp which can be
handled in any careless manner or thrown down without being affected thereby,
and which can be conveniently lighted or the oil renewed.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a side elevation and Fig. 2 a vertical
section of a lamp constructed according to my invention. Fig. 3 is a sectional
plan on line A-A. In these views similar letters refer to similar parts.
For the purpose of this invention I construct a lamp as herein before named by
forming a cylinder of sheet metal as a that is open at each end and with a half
hoop handle 6 affixed near the upper edge by which the lamp may be suspended
or carried.
One or more glasses as c which may be circular as shown, or other preferred
form are fitted in or around the side of said cylinder, and air holes as d may also
be formed therein. I make the cover e of the lamp so that its lower edge e¹ will
rest on the upper edge a¹ of the aforesaid cylinder and preferably tapered upwards
therefrom with an aperture e² at the top that is protected by a cap e³; I suspend
the oil holder f and burner f¹ from the lamp cover e by metallic strips as g
which are secured thereto the oil holder and burner depending therefrom within
the cylinder a, the bottom of the oil holder is retained on a level or thereabouts
with the bottom open end of the cylinder and with a small air space between
the periphery of the oil holder and the interior of the cylinder. Said cover e
and oil holder f may be lifted from the cylinder by any preferred form of handle
such as which may be attached to the cover e. By these means the flame is
protected from the wind, and the burner cannot become detached from the lamp
when the lamp is suspended from a vehicle or any place by the handle that is
attached to the upper portion of the cylinder a.
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:-
An oil lamp for lurries and like vehicles constructed with an outer cylinder
open at both ends, a half loop handle hinged to the upper end, and one or more
round or other form of glasses in the side of said cylinder, a loose cover whose
edge rests on the upper edge of the cylinder and an oil holder and burner depend-
ing therefrom within the cylinder, with an air space between the oil holder and
the cylinder, all substantially as hereinbefore described and as shown on the
drawings.
