page_text: I, ENOCH SARJEANT of Bread Street Birmingham in the County of Warwick,
Art Metal Worker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows
-
This invention relates principally to improvements in connecting the pillars, bases
or feet of lamps, to their oil containers or fonts
Usually oil containers or fonts, are provided on their undersides, with a pummel,
or neck like extension, whereupon the terminal upper end or socket, carried by
the upper end of a pillar standard or foot, takes, ind is there secured by Plaster of
Paris, or other suitable cement
In carrying ont my invention I provide the middle of the underside, of a container
or font, with a well or sunken part, constituting a socket, wherein the summit, or
a plug carried at the summit of a pillar, standard base or foot, fakes, and is therein
fixedly secured, by Plaster of Paris or other cement
The plug is preferably provided with a flange at its junction with the pillar, and
upon the top side of which said flange, the lower underside of the container or font
rests The plug is secured to the summit of the standard, or the like, by screwing,
or by closing means
The sunken recess on the underside of the container or font is formed during the
process of making, or blowing of the same
Instead of securing the said summit, by the means as described, I may line the
recess or well, on the underside of the container or font, with an inside wormed
terrule, fixedly secured therein, by any suitable means
and within which said ferrule,
the upper end of a standard or top of a base, screws or takes
In applying my invention to the top or open mouth of the container, 1 secure
a short ferrule, within the said mouth, of a depth suitable to receive the burner
pummel, thereby dispensing with the usual outside covering cap, as is commonly
emploved

1, ENOCH SARJEANT of Bread Street, Birmingham in the County of Warwick,
Art Metal Worker, 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 relates principally to improvements in connecting the pillars, bases
or feet of lamps, to their oil containers or fonts
Usually the oil container or font of a lamp is provided on its underside with a
pummel or nech like extension, whereupon the terminal upper end or socket, carried
by the upper end of a pillar, standard or foot, takes, and is there secured by sulphur,
plaster of paris or other cement
In carrying out my invention, I provide the middle of the underside of a container
or font, with a well or sunken part constituting a socket, wherein the head of a plug,
or an extension at the summit of pillar, standard or base takes, and is therein fixedly
secured, preferably by cement
The plug or junction piece is preferably provided with a flange at its connection
with the pillar, and upon the top side of which, the lower underside of the container
or font rests The plug is secured to the summit of the standard or the like, by a
screw stem, or by other means
The sunken recess on the underside of the container or font is formed during the
process of making, or blowing of the same
Instead of securing the font by a plug, 1 may fit the socket with an inside
wormed ferrule, which takes upon the upper end of the standard or base
In applying my invention to the top or open mouth of the container, I secure a
short ferrule within the said mouth, of a depth suitable to receive the burner-
pummel, thereby dispensing with the usual outside covering cap, as is commonly
employed
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing represents in front elevation, figure 2 a top
side plan, and figure 3 an underside plan of a plug or junction-piece, for connecting
the font, reservoir or the like of a lamp, to its supporting pillar or base
Figure 4 represents in plan and section, the cupped terminal or head of the plug
separately, while figure 5 represents a plan and elevation of the blank from which it
18 made
Figure 6 shows a plan and edge view of the flange, and figure 7 represents the
screwed stem
Figure 8 shows a section of the lower part of the font, and figure 9 an inverted
plan thereof, exhibiting the angular shaped well or recess within its bottom, wherein
the head of the plug or junction-piece is secured
Figure 10 represents the said plug fitted and secured within the inside of the
said recess, and with the underside of the font or reservoir coming or resting upon
the flange

page_text: Figures 11 and 12 are modifications of iny said invention
The same letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures
a is a font or oil container, having sunken, within its bottom, a well or recess a³,
wherein the cupped head 6 of a plug or junction-piece b takes, and is therein
secured by sulphur, plaster of paris, or other cement or means marked c
The underside of the font surrounding the well or recess, rests upon an annular
ring or flange b³, situated at the junction of the said cupped head 63, with 1 screwed
stem 6, which takes within a screwed hole or neck made within, or connected to,
a pillar, base or other support of a lamp
Thus, the attachment of a font or reservoir is made by a plug or junction-piece,
of which one part is fitted and secured within a recess in the bottom of the said
font or reservoir, and the other part taking within a screwed hole in a pillar
or base
The stem of the plug may be made plain, and adapted to fit within a like shaped
socket in the base as aforesaid-Or the extreme end only may be screwed and affixed
in position by a screw-nut taking upon at
In the modification figures 11 and 12, the connection is made by a junction-piece b,
having a screwed hole 6 directed through its head b³, and flange 6*
The head 6 of the said Junction-piece, is secured by sulphur or cement, within a
like shaped recess a², of the font or reservoir a―Thus, this said last named junction-
piece b, fits and screws upon an upright screw peg d at the summit of the base or
pillar á of a lamp, and with the underside of the reservoir resting or coming upon
the flange b
I wish it to be understood that the plug or junction-piece may be made sold, or
in one piece, although I prefer to make it as represented
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 18
First-Providing the bottom, or the lower underside of the font or reservoir of
a lamp, with a recess, socket or sunken part wherein a standing out or attached
part of a pillar or base is secured
Secondly-Connecting fonts or reservoirs of lamps to their bases or pillars, by the
head of plug or junction-piece b fitting within a recess or sunken part a³ of the
reservoir of a lamp substantially as described and set forth in figure 10
Thirdly-A plug or junction-piece, consisting of a head 6ª, Hange 6³, and screwed
stem 6, as set forth in figures 1, 2 and 3
3
Lastly-Connecting lamp fonts or reservoirs to their pillars or bases, by a junction
or connection-piece 6, as described and set forth in figures 11 and 12
