attaching parts of the top & bottom of my improved lamp, or lantern, to the glass
cylinder. I form the usual crincle top, with a handle, over, or otherwise, for
carrying the lamp, or lantern, & round the rim, which is fixed, to the crincle, is a
hollow ring with a slot, or slots, for receiving therein the tits or lugs upon the edge
of the glass cylinder.
I form, the usual bottom, of a lantern, or lamp, with a hollow ring thereon, with
a slot, or slots for receiving the lugs or tits upon the glass cylinder, for attachment,
& detachments, I form a cup, or box, or tank, to go upon the bottom, of the lamp,
or lantern, wherein, I place the burner tube, which is perforated, & fixed to a disc,
or cross pieces, & upon this burner I place a coned wax, large, or small, & through
the burner, I place a wick-& the wick, when light consumes the wax.

In carrying out my improvements, I make a glass cylinder, & at the outside
thereof, at the top & bottom are two tits or more as may be required, for attaching
parts of the top, or bottom, of my improved lamp, or lantern to the glass cylinder,
& dispensing with bands or strips of metal to hold the glass in. I form the usual
crincle, top with handle over or otherwise for carrying the lamp or lantern, &
round the rim, which is fixed to the crincle is a hollow ring, with a slot or slots
for receiving therein the tits or lugs upon the edge of the glass cylinder.
I form the usual bottom of a lamp, or lantern, with a hollow ring thereon, with
slot or slots for the lugs or tits upon the glass body of the cylinder, for attachment
& detachment. I form a cup or box, or tank, to go upon the bottom of the inside
of the lamp or lantern wherein, I place the tube, which I perforate, & fix to a disc,
or cross piece, or otherwise, & upon this perforated tube I place a wax cone, large
or small, & through the perforated tube burner I place a wick, & the wick, when
lighted consumes the wax, or tallow, oil, or spirit, may be used instead of the wax.
In order that my invention, may be fully understood, I will more particularly
describe it, with the aid of the accompanying drawing,
