Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 18, 1915.
Application filed March 24, 1914. Serial No. 826,983.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE D. Mc-PHAIL, a citizen of the United States, residing in Boston, county of Suffolk, and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Lamps, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like characters on the drawings representing like parts. 1
This invention has for its object to provide an inexpensive lamp for illuminating the face of an alarm clock.
To this end, the lamp is provided with a hollow base for containing alcohol, oil or other illuminant, and upon which the alarm clock is supported, and said hollow base is preferably provided with a concavity in its upper surface for the reception of the circular casing of an alarm clock of ordinary construction. The hollow base is provided with a wick tube, which is extended away from the base a sufiicient distance to enable a reflector carried thereby to reflect the rays of light upon the face of the clock so as to clearly illuminate the same.
The particular features of the invention will be pointed out in the claims atthe end of this specification.
Figure 1 is a front elevation of an alarm clock supported by a lamp embodying this invention, and Fig. 2, a side elevation of the lamp and clock shown in Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawings, a represents an alarm clock, which is inexpensive and of ordinary construction, and which is inserted into a concavity b in the upper surface of a substantially oblong hollow boX or receptacle 0, preferably of sheet metal and which forms the hollow base of the lamp. The hollow base 0 is closed liquid-tight and is provided on its front side with a wick tube 10, through which a wick 12 is passed into the hollow base 0. The wick tube 10 is provided with an inclined portion 13, which extends away from the hollow base to enable the light from the burning illuminant to be thrown upon the face of the clock a by a reflector 15, which may and preferably will be attached to the wick tube 10.
The reflector 15 may be made of sheet metal and provided at its lower end with fingers, only one, 17, of which is shown, which may be bent around the wick tube to firmly secure the reflector in proper position on the wick tube to most effectively throw the light upon the face of the clock.
The illuminant used may be alcohol, oil or other combustible liquid, and is supplied to the hollow base through an inlet nipple in the upper surface of thebase, which is normally closed by a screw cap 20.
The hollow base 10 may and preferably will be provided with a bottom surface of greater length than the upper surface so as to impart to it greater stability. The lamp herein shown is inexpensive to make and is designed'to be used with the inexpensive alarm clocks and to provide working men, servants and the like persons with an inexpensive illuminated clook, which is especially applicable for use in the winter months.
A. lamp for an alarm clock, comprising a hollow base for containing an illuminant and provided with a concavity in its upper surface for the reception of the clock, and having a wick tube extended upwardly away from said base, and a reflector 00- operating with the free end of said wick tube and adapted to throw the light upon the face of the clock supported by the said base.
In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
GEORGE D. MoPHAIL.
