Description

Jun 1, 1937. c. s. BEILER EMERGENCY LANTERN Filed July 22, 1936 ATTRNEYs HIS WITNESS Patented June 1, 1937 UNlTE STATES ATEN'l FFmE 2 Claims.
This invention relates to emergency lanterns and has for an object to provide an electric lantern which may be conveniently applied to Vehicles or to any support and which may be transported readily from place to place.
A further object is to provide a lantern including a container for dry cells, and a novel combined grip and lamp holder on the container, the grip having a front forked portion adapted to secure the lamp casing to the container and having a rear forked portion through which the rays from the rear lens of the lamp may shine without obstruction.
A further object is to provide a lamp having a casing adapted to be received in the front fork of the handle and having a front clear lens through which the light rays are reflected, and also having a warning rear lens of colored glass, preferably red, through which the rays of the lamp shine after emerging through a rear opening in the reflector of the lamp.
With the above and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed, it being understood that various modifications may be resorted to within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
In the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification,
Figure 1 is a side elevation of an emergency lantern constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a plan View of the lantern shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a cross sectional view through the lantern.
Figure 4 is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional View through the lantern drawn to an enlarged scale and showing the construction of the lamp.
Referring now to the drawing in which like characters of reference designate similar parts in the various views, it designates a container which may be formed of metal and is preferably of sufficient width and height to receive a pair of dry cells it stacked one upon the other as illustrated. A handle l2 preferably formed of strap metal, extends longitudinally of the container and is provided with front and rear forked ends l3 and M respectively. The lower ends of the forked terminals of the handle are secured to the container and the front fork I3 is preferably arched in contour, as best shown in Figure 3, to clamp the casing of a lamp, designated (Cl. Mil-10.63)
in general by the numeral it, to the top of the container.
The lamp comprises a cylindrical casing l5 having mounted therein a parabolic reflector It, the reflector projecting the light rays from an incandescent bulb ll through a lens N3 of clear glass, the lens being secured to the casing by a threaded flanged ring if). An opening 20 is formed axially in the reflector and light rays from the bulb passing through this opening shine through a warning lens 2| of red glass, which is secured to the casing by a threaded flanged ring 22. The bulb I7 is mounted in a conventional socket 23 secured to the reflector and the conductor wires 24 pass from the lamp through an insulating bushing 25 into the container l8.
One conductor wire 24 is attached to a conventional switch 26 secured to the top of the container laterally of the lantern. A circuit wire 2! leads from the switch to the center terminal 28 of the lowermost of the battery cells. A jumper 29 connects the outer terminal 33 of said cell with the center terminal 35 of the uppermost cell. The other conductor wire 25 is connected to the outer terminal 32 of the last named cell.
Rubber lugs 33 are disposed on the bottom of the container at the corners thereof for supporting the container upon a flat surface of any kind. superposed elongated strap eyes 34 are arranged on opposite sides of the container and receive the upper ends of straps 35, the lower ends of which extend below the bottom of the container and are provided with openings 36 through which bolts may be inserted to secure the lantern to a vehicle if desired.
t will be noted that the handle i2 forms a convenient grip by means of which the lantern may be transported from place to place. It will be further noted that the rear forked end M of the grip permits the warning lens 24 to be Visible to following vehicles.
From the above description it is thought that the construction and operation of the invention will be fully understood without further explanation.
What is claimed is:
1. A lantern comprising a container, a handle extending longitudinally of the top of the container and provided with forked front and rear ends, the lower ends of the forked terminals of the handle being secured to the top of the container, a lamp housing on the container, the front fork of the handle clamping the lamp housing to the container, a clear lens at the front side of the lamp housing, a warning lens at the rear side of the housing, an electric bulb in the housing between the lenses, there being an opening in the rear of the housing permitting the rays from the bulb to be visible through the rear fork of the handle, a dry cell in the container, circuit wires connecting bulb vwith the dry cell, and a switch controlling the circuit wires.
2. A lantern comprising a container, dry cells in the container, a combined grip and lamp holder on the container, a grip having a front forked portion adapted to secure a lamp casing to the container and having a rear forked portion through which the rays from the lamp may shine without obstruction, a lamp received at the front fork of the handle and clamped to the container by the fork, a clear glass lens in the front of the lamp, a warning lens in the rear of the lamp, a reflector in the lamp between the lenses having an axial opening through which the rays of the lamp shine through the reflector, a lamp bulb in the lamp, dry cells in the container, circuit wires connecting the dry cells with the lamp, and a switch on the container laterally of the lamp controlling the flow of current through the circuit wires.
