\ Y Improvement in Lanterns. `115,385. Patented May 30,1871.
w/TNESSES. INVENTOR.-
www.;N @Mr/6K7@ 3/- M/W/ @fd/WWW@ T FFEGE `V `AUGUSTUS E. TAYLOR, OF NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT.
`|MPnovEmEN-r IN LANTERNS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 115,385, dated May 30, 1871.
i I, AUGUSTUS E. TAY-Lon, ofNew Britain, in the county of Hartford and State of Con necticut, have invented certain new and use- Aful Improvements `in Lanterns, of which the'- following is a specication: l
My invention relates to that class of lanterns in which the globe forms the only connection i between the base `and neck of the lantern;
and consists in the employmentl of a spring ring hinged upon the inside of thebase or neck, or both, in such manner thatthe spring l ring can be made to inclose the globe by a groove near its end, when the'globe and spring ring are shut into the base or neck and secured byproper catches.
In the accompanying drawing,`Figure lis.
a side elevation of a globe and dome of a lantern of my invention; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the base of the same; and Fig. 3 is a horizontal section of the same on aline throughA one of the spring rings. i
At each end oi'- `the globeA is formed a groove, a. The insides of the base B and neck C are of the same size, respectively, as
r the ends ofthe globeA. A spring ring, b, withl its ends bentoutward and providedwith 1inger-caps c c, is hung to the base B and neck `C bythe hinge d. Immediately opposite the hinge d is a T-shaped slot, f, arranged so as to form a proper catch forn the open ends of the ring b.
To secure either end of the globe A to the lbase or neck, the ends of the ring b are compressed until they can bewithdrawn from the slot fand swung outward into about the po sitionshown in Fig. 2, when the bead on the end of the lglobe A can be readily slipped through the .ring b when the said ring rests in the groove a. The ring b, with theA end of the globe A, is then shut into the base B or neck C, when the ends of the spring ring b are caught in the slot f, as shown in Fig. 1, which secures the globe in place, while the elasticity of the parts allows the globe to expand or contract with freedom, whereby the usual danger of breaking the globe by too close confine ment is entirely removed.
In ordinary lanterns of this class the globes are secured by plaster of Paris, which too closely confines the same; and, also, it the globe is once broken the lantern is rendered nearly useless, as the means of securing another globe are not of convenient access to the majority of those using lanterns.
By my invention the globes are not as liable to be broken, and if once broken can be readily replaced.
I claim as my invention- The combination of the base and'neck B and C, hinged spring ring b, slot f or other suitable catches, and the groove a on the end of the globe A, all combined and operating together, substantially as and for the purpose described.
