Blake Patent Conductor’s Lantern
|
|
Description: |
| Abstract:
My improved lantern is designed chiefly for the use of railroad conductors, freight agents and others who while carrying a lantern have occasion to use both hands in performing manipulations which require the light to be above their hands. Lanterns have heretofore been provided with a large ring at their top, by means of which they may be suspended from the arm. In this way the hands are at liberty, but the light is too low down to aid their manipulations.
Claim:
he combination of a lantern of any construction with the additional appendage herein described and set forth, for the purpose of adapting the same to be carried on the top of the fore arm and keeping it in an upright position thereon. And this I claim whether said appendage be constructed in the particular form and manner set forth, or in any other manner whereby the same object is accomplished by substantially the same means. |
