LAURA A. BEATTY, OF GALESBURG, ILLINOIS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 362,705, dated May 10, 1887.

Application filed DcccmbcrQ, 1886. Serial No. 220,480. ("No model.)

To (LZZ whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, LAURA A. BEATTY, of Galesburg, in the county of Knox and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating Attachment for Lamp-Chimneys; 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 a heating attachment adapted for adjustment upon the upper edge of the chimney of a coal-oil or other lamp.

The object of this invention is to provide a simple, neat, and reliable device that can be secured upon the top edge of a lamp-chimney and removed therefrom when desired, and that will, when in adjustment with a lamp, afford a safe and convenient means of support for any light vessel to heat articles of food or drink, it being particularly available for nursery use at night or in a sick room.

\Vith these ends in view my invention consists in certain features of construction and combination of parts, that will be hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings making a part of this specifieation, Figure 1 is a view, in perspective, of the attachment in position upon the top of a lamp-chimney. Fig. 2 is a side view of one of the principal pieces as a blank before bending into shape. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the base-piece of the heater as it is formed before bending the clasp ends.

Referring: to the drawings, A is a plate of sheet metal cut or stamped into form, as shown in Fig. 2. The three portions, ab 0, are made of equal length, and have their upper ends turned over at a right angle a proper width. The lower edge, d, of the piece A is notched or slit at several points, 1 2 3, dvc. The piece A is bent to form a ring, and the projecting ends 5 6 are secured together by rivets or other suitable means. At a point, 6, near the lower edge a flange, c, is turned on the ring A of a proper width to form a seat for this ring.

The plate D (see Fig. 3) is stamped or cut from sheet-plate metal, and when struck out is substantially in the form shown. The projectin g ends 1 2 3 are made of a proper length to form elastic finger-springs. These are bent downwardly and into shape to adapt them to bear upon the outer surface of alamp-chimney when the ring D is placed upon the top edge of such a chimney.

The turret-ring A and base-ring D are secured together in any suitable manner, so as to make these parts integral. They will pre sent the appearance shown in Fig. 1.

\Vhen the heater is placed upon the top end ofa lamp-chimney, the heat that is generated and ascends can be utilized to warm the contents of a metallic or other proper vessel, that may with safety be placed upon the projecting ledges or flanges formed to support a receptacle.

The openings formed between the upright turrets a b c aii'ord ample space for draft, and thus obviate any possibility of the smoking of the chimney that would resultfrom an impeded upward passage ofthe products of combustion.

If desired, the turret-riug A (shown in Figs. 1 and 2) may have the springs 1 2 3 made of the same material and cut out with the same die that forms the turret-pieces, the springs being bent into shape after the ring is formed from the flat plate; and, in case this method is employed, bearing-cars or a projecting flange for the support of the turrets may be formed integral with the lower edge ofthe band or ring on which the turrets are upright pr0- jections.

It is evident that other forms of construction may be used to produce analogous de vices. I therefore do not wish to restrict myself to the exact forms shown and described, but wish latitude to adopt such plan of construction within the scope and spirit of my invention as may be best adapted for the pur pose.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A heating attachment for lamps, consisting, essentially, of a base-ring having depending spring-arms, and the turret-ring secured to the base-ring and having upwardly-projecting arms adapted to form a support for the article to be heated, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

LAURA A. BEAT'IY.
