A Combined Deflecting Shade and Mantle Protector for Incandescent
Lighting.
I, HARRY HATELEY, of Light Works, Avenue Road, Aston, Birmingham,
Managing Director of Hateleys Limited, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:

The shade is made in two parts the lower one having its upper portion flanged
& turned over so as to deflect the light. The lower portion of this shade fits in
the holder & partially covers the mantle.
The upper shade fits into a ledge made in the upper part of the bottom shade,
& completes the covering of the mantle, thus, affording complete protection.
The top shade has one or more holes formed in it for the purpose of lighting
& ensuring perfect combustion of the gas. Owing to the fact of the lower portion
of the bottom shade & the whole of the top shade being made of a suitable width,
either can be removed for cleaning or other purposes without danger of touching
and thereby damaging the mantle. The lighting is effected without the explosion
which follows the use of any other sort of protector or chimney & the life of the
mantle is thereby prolonged.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Deflecting Shade and Mantle Protector for Incandescent
Lighting.
I, HARRY HATELEY, of Light Works, Avenue Road, Aston, Birmingham,
Managing Director of Hateleys Limited, 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 consists of the herein described improved combined deflecting
shade and mantle protector for incandescent lighting which is made of glass and
is so constructed as to afford complete protection to the mantle and to be readily
removed for cleaning or other purposes without danger of touching and thereby
damaging the mantle. Moreover my invention enables the mantle to be lighted
without the explosion which follows the use of the usual protector or chimney
and which is so destructive to the mantle, thus by my invention the life of the
mantle is prolonged.
I will describe my invention by referring to the accompanying drawing on
which Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of my invention shewing also by dotted lines

page_text: the position of the mantle of the incandescent light; Fig. 2 is an elevation of my
invention shewing the upper part raised from the lower part; Figs. 3, 4 and 5
cach shew slightly modified forms of my invention.
The same letters of reference indicate the same or corresponding parts in all
the figures.
the same.
The shade is made of glass and in two parts marked respectively A and B.
The lower part B has its upper portion 61 flanged and turned over so as to deflect
the light. The lower portion of this shade B fits in the holder C and partially
covers the mantle D indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 1. The base a¹ of the
upper shade A fits into a ledge 63 made in the upper part of the bottom shade B
and completes the covering of the mantle and thus affords complete protection to
The top shade A has one or more holes a formed in it for the purpose
of lighting and ensuring perfect combustion of the gas. Lighting is effected
through the holes a without removing the upper shade A from the lower
shade B and owing to the fact that the body or lower portion 63 of the bottom
shade B and the whole of the top shade A are made of large diameter there is so
much air within them that no explosion follows the lighting of the gas. Moreover
either the top shade A or bottom shade B can readily be removed for cleaning
without danger of touching and damaging the mantle Ï.
In the modified form of my invention shewn by Fig. 3 the flanged upper por-
tion 6 is not turned over quite so much as in the example illustrated by Figs. 1
and 2, and in the example illustrated by Fig. 4 the upper flanged portion 6¹ is
curved over still less. Fig. 5 shews another form of the upper flanged portion bl
which in this case is made with small crimpings so as to deflect the light in
various directions.
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:
A combined deflecting glass shade and mantle protector for incandescent light-
ing consisting of the two parts A and B constructed and combined together sub-
stantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated.
