To all whom it mag/concern: Be it known that i, SAMUEL JACKSON, Jr, a citizen of the United States, residing in certain Improvements in Fusees of which the" 1 One object of my invention is to prevent the acid of an acid-ignited fusee from burn ing the hands of the brakeman or other person using it; a' further object being to utilize the cap containing the'acid receptacle'asa In the accompanying drawings:-Fignre '1',
and in position to protect the pointed. spike.

My invention is especially applicable for use in railroad signals where the brakernanfl or signal man has to carry one or nioreo'i the fusees which must be ignited by striking the end of the fusee against some hard object while said fnsee is held in the hand.
A is the body of the fuses containing the usual pyrotechnic compound and havingfat the lower end a base H in which-is a spike B which can be forced into one of the ticsadjacent to or between the rails ct a'track the fuses being closed at the oppositeen'd a, pref erabl by a piece of fabric which can be read;
Dis a cap consisting of the head d and the deep flanged" which is adapted to pass over the end-a of the fuses, as shown in Fig. 2, and in this cap is anacid receptacle E, made in the present instance of .thin glass and having a projection e, said receptacle being secured; to the interior of the cap by a band" 2% in the head d of the cap is a vent openings for the escape-of the surplus acid when the cap is forced down upon the end of thejfnsee so the explosion scatters the acid and it the'only avenue of escape for the same is between the body of the fuses and the deep flange of. the cap, the acid has a tendency to splash upon the hands onelothesof the brakeman and thus cause the burning of the same, quite a'nuinber of severe burns having resulted from the use of the old style fusees Where in cases'of 1 emergency the same were used-hurriedly apd without sufficient care." By making th vent openingi in the cap the surplus acidis dis; charged away-from the brakex'n'an and'l have, found by experiment'that theobjection abovev noted is entirelyovercome. The openingi in the head of the cap also acts as asset for the acid receptacle E, the point e 'of saidreinake the vent opening 0n the lowerend of the fuses is a shoulder h forming in the present instance a part of the'base H which carries the spike B, the diameter of this base being the same as the head of-the fusee, so that when thefusee is carried by thebrakeman the cap can he slipped over the base thus protecting the sharp point of the spike B, as shown in Fig. 1,the shoulder h preventing the spike from coming into con-' tact with the acid .receptaclei n: tl1e end of 'be'provided with a packingfg, Fig.5,- prefer-j ably of some absorptive material which will form a tight joint between the fusee andthe,
cap, so as to prevent-the escape of (the. acid "atjthat point, or the packing may be secured to the fusee in some instances i nsteadof to the; cap-as shown for'ihs'tance by dotted lines i'nIFig. 1, t
1 Iii-will be-enderstoo d that the cap with the opening therein can be used upon a fusee which is provided with a vhandle as'we-ll asupon afus'ee provided with a spike: 7
I claini as my inventicne? '1 1, The combination in an acid having openings therein for the frge escape of the surplus acid when the'acid receptacle is broken, said acid receptacle being seated p ignited fusee of the body of the fuseecontaininga pyrojtechnic compound, a cap adapted thereto and I O i in tlie heed of the cep, anda device for. ee
curi 'ig; the receptacle io position, sub'st'aniially-as, described. I
' 2." The COIllbiHZiilOD adapted thereto and having an. opening '5 in -theJ1ea'dof theisame, an acid receptacle seated; in the ,openingi and a', band securing {said receptacle in'posi fion within theiciap; eiib stantiall'y as described;
' 3. The-combination m ya fusee,fof,the body having a. base withshoulderthereon ,anda' spike secured thereto, witha 'ca'p' containing 1 an acid receptacle and 'adaptedto be fitted upon; said base, substantially; as c described, [whereby when the capis thusvappl-ied to the if-the bodyoft the f us ee 5 containingthe pyrotechnic compound, ecap base and in contact with the sbouider the re ongthe spike will be outof contact with the acid receptacle.-
4. The combination in a fusee, of the body 20 portion, a cap, an acid receptacle carried by the capan'd apacking of absorbing material between the cap and body, substantially as described.
