SAMUEL E. ROSE, NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO EUGENE MUNSELL i & CO., 01 NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF NEW JERSEY.

INGANDESOENT GAS- AMP.

To all whom it may concern Be. itknown that I, SAMUEL E. Rosn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, (whose post-oflice address is 68 Church street, New York city,) have invented a new and useful Improvement in Incandescent Gas- Lamps, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a device of this class in which a chimney is supported by a mantle ring so that at all times, and especially during the shipping and erecting of the mantle on the burner, the mantle will be protected against all injury, and when in use the globe will be protected by the chimney from the intense heat of the mantle. These, and other objects are accomplished by my invention, some embodiments of which are hereinafter set forth.

For a more particular description of my invention, reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, in which Figure 1 is a sectional view showing a burner of the inverted type provided with one form of my improved chimney and chimney support. Fig. 1 is a sectional view showing a detail of construction. Fig. 2 is a sectional View, taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows. Fig. 3 is a sectional View, taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2, looking in the direction of the arrows. Fig. 4 is a sectional view, taken on the line 44 of Fig 2, looking in the direction of the arrows. Fig. 5 is a sectional View, taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 3, looking in the direction of the arrows. Figs. 6 and 7 show a modified construction of chimney, Fig. 7 being taken on the line 77 of Fig. 6, looking in the direction of the arrows.

provided with the usual curved pipe 2 on which is mounted a shade holder 3 adapted to hold a shade, not shown, and below the shade holder is a suitable burner tip 4 provided with the conventional sockets 5, preferably. three in number, which are adapted to receive and support the lugs 6 of a mantle ring 7, in the conventional manner. The mantle is mounted on this ring 7 in the Specification of Letters Patent.

usual way so that no further description is necessary. The lugs 6 have not only an in-- wardly extending end adapted to engage the sockets 5, but also the conventional prongs 9 which are engaged by the chimney holder 10. This chimney holder 10 is preferably made in the form of a ring with a depending flange 11 from which run radially and inwardly extending cars 12 from which extend vertical spring catches 13 which are adapted to take over and under the parts 9 of the projections 6 of the ring 7. A chimney 14 is made cylindrical in form and fits snug within the flange 11 and is held thereby. This chimney may be made in any of several ways, but it is preferably made of mica bound at its top and bottom by an nular bands 15, the lower one of which is provided with suitable prongs 16 which take over and under a disk 17 so as to hold the same in place at the bottom of the chimney. After this disk 17 is made to fit snug, as shown in Fig. 1, suitable ventilating holes 17 are made above the level of the same and in the chimney 14 so that enough air may be had for the purposes of combustion. In the modification shown in Figs. 6 and 7 the disk 17, at the bottom of the chimney 14 is supported by means of suitable hooked wires 18 which run from a centrally located eyelet 19 to the edge of the disk 17 and thence vertically and upwardly to suitable eyelets 20 located at suitable points in the chimney 14, and these wires 18 pass through them and then pass downwardly so as to form hooks whereby the disk 17 is properly supported. In this modification of my invention the disk 17 is made of smaller diameter than the chimney 14 so as to leave a suitable air space for the purposes of combustion.

In view of the foregoing, the operation of my improved device will be readily understood. Assuming that the burner 4 is ready to receive a mantle, the mantle 8 is put in place, together with its chimney 14 and chimney support 10, the fingers of the operator being pressed against this support 10 as he places the mantle in position, whereby it is put in position without being handled or in any way injured. Once in position it is placed where it has to be lighted properly from above, and cannot be lighted from below, and it is placed without injury so that its life will be as long as possible.

When it is used up it may be readily re moved and another mantle inserted in its" place. Should it be necessary, the chimney 14 may be separated from'the holder 10 and washed and then restored without in any way injuring the mantle or any han-' dling of the same. While I have shown and described one embodiment of my invention, ity is: obviousthat it is not restricted thereto, but is broad enough to cover all structures that come within the scope of the annexed claim.

; Having thus described my invention, what I claim is a In a device of the class described, a man- :Witnesses: a Y
