SIGNALINGr-LANTE RN.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 18, 1908.
Application filed. October 28, 1907. Serial No. 399,463.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY G. IIoHNs- BEEN, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Signaling-Lanterns; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and eXact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to lanterns, and especial'ly to signaling lanterns adapted for use as danger signals to warn the public of certain obstructions, such as excavations, building material in public thoroughfares, and along car tracks in the process of construction and repairs; and to this end, the invention consists of the novel devices and combinations of devices hereinafter described and defined in the claims.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like characters indicate like parts throughout the several views. f-
Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a view in front elevation showing the improved lantern, with some parts indicated in a different position indicated by dotted lines. Fig.
2 is a plan view of the same g and Fig. 3 is a lliorizontal section taken on the line a3 w3 of The numeral 1 indicates the lanterns base, 2 the oil can, and 3 the burner. As shown, the improved lantern is provided with a metallic globe 4 equipped with a pair of bullseyes 5 so arranged as toface in a reverse direction from each other. W'hen'the lantern is used as a danger signal, the bulls-eyes 5 will, of course, be made of red glass.
An inverted U-shaped irame 6, near its lower ends, is rigidly secured to the oil can 2, its free ends being perforated and bent outward at right angles to form lower guide lugs 7, the purpose of which will presently appear.
- The upper end of said frame 6 is braced from the metallic globe 4 by a pair of depending and outwardly projecting arms 8. A cap 9, secured to the underlying and intermediate horizontal portion of the frame 6, overlies the upper open end of the globe 4, and is spaced apart therefrom to form a smoke passage. A bail or U-shaped handle 10 is mounted for sliding movements in a air of outwardly projecting perforated gui e lugs 11 secured one to each side of the frame 6. The perforations ofthe lower guide lugs 7 are outwardly offset from the perforations ofthe upper guide lugs 11, as best-shown in Fig. 1. The lower ends of the bail 10 terminate in a pair of depending legs 12 that are bent at 13, in a reverse direction from each other, to form Vstops, and work through the lower guide lugs 7. As is evident, the stops 13 coming in contact with the guide lugs 11 will limit the upward movement of the bail 10, to prevent the bail and legs from being withdrawn from their respective guide lugs. The ends of the legs 12 are formed with sharp points, so that, by pressing the bail 10 downward, these points may be forced into an underlying plank, the earth, or any other suitable support, for the purpose of securely holding the lantern in an upright position and preventing the same from being accidentally upset.
The above device, while very simple and of small cost, is highly efficient for the purposes had in view.
What I claim is 1. A lantern provided with a sharpened leg mounted for vertical movement thereon ends of the bail legs above or below the bottom of said lantern, whereby the said bail when depressed will secure the lantern to the support upon which it is placed,4 and said 5 a frame, of upper and lower pairs of guide lugs 0n said frame, said lower pair of guide lugs being laterally offset from said' upper' pair of guide lugs, a bail slidably mounted in v said upper pair of guide lugsJ and having a` pair of sharpened depending legs bent to 10 form stops and working, through `said vlower guide lugs, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I aliX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
. HENRY G. HOHNSBEEN. Witnesses: H. D. KILGORE, F. D. MERCHANT.
