This Invention which relates to gas pendants &e; as for its object, to supply a
long felt want to the working classes, by providing an article (at a small cost) to
fix to gas Pendants &c, which will hold a can or other vessel filled with water over
the gas burner, thereby boiling the water & giving a light to the house at the same
time, no candle or tubing is required & can be fixed instantly. We cannot bind
ourselves to any particular shape or material, as much depends upon the shape of
the Pendant, Chandelier &c to which it is to be fixed.
Figure No. 1 in the Drawings shows the suspender to be fixed to gas pendant,
chandelier or other conductor of gas light and figure 2 shows such suspender so
affixed by the following means, simply place the part A of suspender round the
pendant & part B of suspender against the pendant, resting upon the joint where
the gas is turned on & it is fixed so that it will hold a can or other vessel over the
burner. Figure 3 in the said drawings shows the suspender to be affixed to a gas
bracket or other conductor of gas light affixed to a wall & figure 4 shows such
suspender so affixed. To fix suspender to bracket, place the part C of suspender
round the end of bracket and part D of suspender resting upon the pipe of bracket
& it is fixed for use.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of our said Inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
