ToaZZ whom itmay concern Be it known that I, ALoNzo I). Enwnnns acitizen, of the UnitedStates, residing at Wheeling, in thecountyv of Ohio il-Illl' State of West Virginia-,lmve invented. anew and useful Improvement in. Thbular ljanterns,

of which. the following is aii'nll, clear, and" exact descrlption, reference being had. to

tern embodying my invention. Fig. 2 isa.

sectiononthe-line- H:II. of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a side view, the globe holder and. globe being shown in tilted position. in: dotted lines. Fig. 4 is a detailisectiona-l view 01 the upper chimney section, and Fig. 5 is a detail sectional view showing the joint"between the canopy and thedowenchimney section.

My invention has relation to tubular lanterns and is designed to provide means of simple and convenient character whereby a section of the chimney and its canopy can be raised vertically away from the glass globe to permit the latter to be swung or tilted backwardly on its hinged connection with the burner.

The nature of my invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which I have shown the preferred embodiment thereof, and which will now be described, it being premised, however, that various changes can be made in the details of construction and arrangement of the parts, without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, as defined in the appended claims.

In these drawings the numeral 2 designates the oil receptacle containing base of the lantern, 3 the burner, 4c the tubes, 5 the glass globe, and 6 is the globe holder which is hinged to the burner at 7.

8 is the cold blast head. These parts may be of any ordinary or usual construction and do not in themselves form any part of my present invention.

9 designates an upper fixed chimney section which is secured within the cold blast head 8 and which has an outwardly turned flange 10 at its lower end, which forms the bottom of the cold air chamber said flange having a plurality ofperforations 11 there- 'in to admit air into said'chamber.

12 designates a lower chimney section which is arranged to slide telescopically iwithin theupper section 9and which, at-its lower end, has a rotatable-engagement with the canopy 1.3. This, rotatable engagement anay be eifctedi in any suitable manner.

\ in Fig, 5 I'have shown the chimney sec- "tion 12' as having, an outwardly turned flange or a head; 14 which, rotatably engages the under side of the upper horizontal flange io-of'thecan'opy. The chimney section 12"is also shown as having another bead lfi whichl prevents the canopy from sliding upwardly on the chimney section 12.

The chimney section 12.1nay be raised and lowered by any suitable engagement with the-upper chimney section 9, of such a charact'er that when the section- 12'is rota-ted it willb e caused to move vertically. Tn the drawing, 1 have shown the section 12 as having a diametrically extending rod or bar 17 whose end portions 18 project through oblique cam grooves 19 in the upper chi1nney section 9.

20 is an operating finger piece which is secured to the chimney section 12 and which is normally held in the catch projection 21 on one of the tubes, shown in Fig. 1.

lVhen it is desired to raise the chimney section 12 and the canopy 18 away from the globe to permit the latter to be tilted backwardly, as shown in Fig. 8, as in lighting or removing the globe for cleaning, the fingerpiece is raised slightly out of the catch projection 21 and moved through an arc of somewhat less than 160, to the position shown in Fig. 3. This movement raises the chimney section 12 and canopy 13 to the position also shown in Fig. 3. The canopy section does not rotate, but is guided in its vertical movement by the guiding arms or fingers 22, at opposite sides thereof, which engage the guiding ribs 23 on the inner sides of the tubes 1.

My invention provides an extremely simple and convenient construction by means of which the lower part of the chimney and the canopy can readily be raised and lowered away from and toward the upper end of the globe. The construction avoids the necessity for raising the globe and globe holder together with the lever mechanism usually employed for that purpose.

What I claim is:

1. A tubular lantern, having a globe holder, a glass globe mounted thereon, a lower chimney section having a seat for the upper edge of the globe and movable vertically toward and away from the globe, an upper fixed chimney section with which the lower chimney section is telescopically engaged and which forms an upward'extension of the lower section means for rotating the lower chimney section independently of the globe and upper chimney section, and means whereby such rotation effects a vertical movement of said lower section away from the globe; substantially as described.

2. A tubular lantern having a chimney formed in telescopically engaging sections, said sections also having engaging means whereby. a rotary movement of the lower section also effects a vertical movement thereof toward and away from the globe of the lantern, and means for effecting such rotary movement, the lower section having a. canopy member rotatably attached thereto and formed with a seat for the upper edge of the globe; substantially as described.

3. A tubular lantern, having a globe holder hingedly mounted thereon, a glass globe supported on said holder, a lower chimney section having a seat for the upper edge of the globe and movable vertically toward and away from the globe, an upper fixed chimney section with which the lower chimney section is telescopically engaged, means for rotating the lower chimney section independently of the globe and upper chimney section, and means whereby such rotation effects a vertical movement of said my hand.
