I SALOMON FALK, of the Firm of Falk, Stadelmann & Co. Limited, of 83,
Farringdon Road, in the County of London. Lamp Manufacturers, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to smoke tops for gas or lamp globes, chimneys and the

may be adapted to globes and chimneys of different sizes.
In a suitable mode of carrying out my invention, the mica or other covering
portion of the smoke top has fixed to it a frame or the like and the support of
the smoke top is connected with this frame by a sliding joint so that the said
supports may be moved towards or away from the centre of the covering portion
as required.
It will be obvious that my invention is applicable to smoke tops having one
support or several supports.

My invention relates to smoke tops for gas or lamp globes, chimneys and the
like and consists in making the supports of smoke tops adjustable so that they
may be adapted to globes and chimneys of different sizes.
In a suitable mode of carrying out my invention, the mica or other covering
portion of the smoke top has fixed to it a frame or the like and the support of
the smoke top is connected with this frame by a sliding joint so that the said
supports may be moved towards or away from the centre of the covering portion
as required.

page_text: To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:-
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of a smoke top having my improvements
applied to it;
Figure 2 is an underside view of the same;
Figure 3 is a section on the line 3-3 Figure 2 drawn to an exaggerated scale.
a is the cover portion of the smoke top, which, as shewn, is composed of a
number of pieces of mica connected together but which may be in one piece of
mica or other material and b, b are the supports for carrying the same on a
globe or chimney, which supports may be made of the shape shewn at the ends
or of any other suitable shape to enable them to lie firmly upon the globe or
chimney.
Each of the supports 6 has its upper portione adapted to slide through a
sleeve d which also slides upon a bar or frame e (as clearly shewn in Figure 3)
attached to the cover portion a so as to permit of each of the said support being
moved towards or away from the centre of the said cover portion as av be
desired.

The smoke top in the drawing is represented as being provided with
supports but it will be obvious that a greater or less number may be ma - use
of, as desired.
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. A smoke top the supports for carrying which upon the globe, chimney or
the like are adjustable towards or away from the centre of the said smoke top,
substantially as described.
2. The manufacture and use of smoke tops with adjustable supports for gas
or other lamp globes, chimneys and the like substantially as herein before described
