C. THEINE in MINDEN. Lantern with lighting device.

Patented in the German Empire on July 2nd, 1877.

Around ship, street, car, stable and hand lanterns (for the police and doctors) at any time The following device can be used without danger and with safety, without opening the door:

An incision is made at a suitable point in the relevant lantern that is wide enough is to put through a match provided with ignition material with ease.

In front of the incision made on the back wall of the lantern is a small sliding one Rosette or a sheet attached, which closes the incision. Should a lantern especially in the event that they are set up for lighting in the open air, the friction surfaces must be somewhat long so that they remain the same hold for longer and can be changed by pushing through. Inside the lantern, here on the back wall, is the small ignition device attached; it consists of two small ones bent towards each other Surfaces that are covered with primer coating, such as the so-called Swedish ignition boxes, inside are pasted, and which are held together so strongly by a hardened spring that a pushed through match of the so-called Swedish matches is ignited.

The burning wood is then held in the completely closed lantern to the one to be lit. Light or the wick. As soon as you have lit the light in the lantern, you slowly withdraw the match and do the same comes out completely extinguished, so that lighting can also be used in barns, stables, cellars etc. can happen at any time without danger.

Now that the match has been removed, the slidable one attached to the outside in front of the incision becomes The cover or rosette is pushed forward to close the incision, and so it is Lantern completely closed and lit.

As soon as the painting surface is worn out, you run Slightly push off the small device, which sits on a needle, and apply a new coat of paint accidentally), or, if the whole thing is cheap, replace it with a new one. The apparatus is pushed onto a needle so that it can be easily removed. but at the same time it is movable to the side, so that one can handle the burning stick can reach the wick.

In the case of larger lanterns, the apparatus must be somewhat larger, but the sulfur sticks must be particularly important or friction matches should be correspondingly long.

In the accompanying drawing, the apparatus is assumed to be made from a piece of sheet metal, on which bb are the friction surfaces to be provided with ignition compound, α the incision for pushing the match and CC the connecting pieces in which the two friction surfaces are bent inwards towards each other . D is the hardened spring that holds both surfaces together. On the outer side of CC, on the back of the apparatus, is a long eyelet, with which it is pushed onto the pin or needle e in the lantern.
