I ARTHUR WYNDHAM MARTIN of Gore Brook House, Hyde Road, Gorton in-
the County of Lancaster, Surgeon, do hereby declare the nature of this invention.
to be as follows:-
My said invention relates to lamps for burning paraffin and similar illuminants.
According to my said invention I provide a receptacle for the oil or spirit adapted
to contain absorbent material such as wood wool with a view to preventing an
overflow in case of the lamp being overturned.
Over the said receptacle is an easily detachable cover which at the same time.
forms a wick holder. The said cover is laid on the receptacle and secured by
projections or catches which engage with each other on slightly rotating the
cover.
In one form of my said invention a recess or well is formed in the cover about
the wick holder for containing liquid to keep the wickholder and cover cool or for
containing a liquid which it is desirable to slowly evaporate so that it may permeate
the atmosphere of the room in which the lamp is burning. A shield or shade with
or without a chimney is fitted over or on the cover also secured by engagement or
partial rotation.
