LAM P.

SPECIFICATION forming part of` Letters Patent No. 251,702, dated January 3, 1885?..`

Application filed April 25, 1881.

To all whom it may concern Beit known thatI, MATYAS GZiNER, acitizen of the United States ofAmei-ica, residentof the city, county, and State of New York, have iuvented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamps, which improvementsA are fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure I is a vertical section of a lamp embodying my invention, and Fig. Il is a vertical section ofthe burner.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.,

My invention relates to that class ot reservoir-lamps in which the oil-supply chamber is, by means ofa continuous siphon action, also by the operation of a oat-valve, rendered independent of the main reservoir as to the level of oil in the latter.

The object of my improvements is to construct a lamp-body such as will admit, in proportion to the size of its feed-receptacle, any desired number of arms and burners, shall be applicable to chandelier, bracket, or table, and, owing to its peculiar form, size, andcompactness, shall be especially adapted for use in articles ofornament, bijoutry, statuettes, figures,

signs, Src.

Safety from eplosion is ordinarily sought to be attained by preventing the accumulation of oil in the vicinity of the flame. I, however, while more ,perfectly isolating the oil and its vapors from places ofl ignition, seek to insure greater safety by the` process of refining the oil previous to its entering the supply-chamber, said process being carried on in the reservoir of the lam p-body itself.

In the drawings, the letterAdesignates the spherical lamp-body, having an opening, a, closed by a screw-plu g, for the admission ofoil, and containing, compactly arranged, the shaft B,fastened to the main body at both its ends;

and within said shaft the supplyftube D,which latter has iioatin g valve E E, and is connected with the reservoir by siphon i It vIt is a perforated partition or false botto upholdingthe metallic filter and retiner S, composed of pulverized and `.tell-mixed asbestus, carbonized serpentine rock, and bone-black.

The secondary parts, outside of the spherical reservoir-to wit, neck C, feed-pipe G, feed-re- (No model.)

M is the outer case of the mineral cone orY wick, is made of metal, andhas an internal perforated flange, T, to catch the solid impurities of the lame, said impurities being consumed thereon by the intense heat to which they are exposed. This conic frustum is movably attached to the burner I, to which it is similar in form, and admits ofa vertical sliding on said burner, so that by drawing it up or down the volume of flame may be respectively contracted or enlarged at will.

O is the terminal portion of arm El,one'for tieth of an inch in diameter.

The operation is as follows: The oil filling the reservoir, after becoming purified and refined by percolation through the metalliciilter S, is taken up from the bottom of the reservoir by siphon N rising,wherein, under hydrostatic pressure to the top ot' the supply-tube D, it descends into said tube until the float-valve, rising with the liquid, closes the opening b, preventing thereby the further entrance ofthe oil. When, however, owing to the consumption of oil by the burners, the level of the liquid in the supply-tube D is lowered, the ioat, descendingwith thefallingliquid,uncovers theopening for renewed supply of oil, until the reservoir A is entirely exhausted. The nal passage of the oil through G, F, and H into I and its final consumption at the points of the mineral conc require no explanation.

I claim and desire to obtain Letters Patent for;-

1. The combination, with the lamp-body, of an interior closed chamber connected. with the body by a siphon having its inner end closed or opened by a ball-valve, substantially as described.

2. The combination of the external chamber or reservoir, the interior or supply chamber, and a siphon connecting with substantially the lowest part of the reservoir and the top of the IOO closed supply-chamber, whereby feeding of the oil will be uninterrupted at its highest and lowest level and undue accumulation of oil at the burner is prevented, substantially as described.

3. The combination ofthe lamp-body having the shaft B with the supply-chamber and the Siphon.

4. The burner I, containing the air-pipe K, surrounded by a mineral conc serving as e Wick, substantially as set forth.

5. The combination, with the burner, ofthe conic frustum M, having an internal perforated ange to catch the solidv impurities of the laine and capable of sliding vertically upon the burner, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

6. The combination, in a. lamp-body, of the chamber for the unfiltered oil above, the ilter ing device R S, and a chamber for refined and filtered oil below, substantially as described.

7. The combination ofthe burner having the mineral cone described, the tube H, the supply-chamber D, the Siphon, and the reservoir, all 'as set forth.

In testimony that l claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto a-fiixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
