Application filed September a, 1907. Serial No. 391,166.

I To all whom it may concern:

Be a knownthat 1, OHN A. mm, a

citizen of the United States, andfa'esident of Wellington, county of Lorain, and State of Ohio, have invented certain'new and useful 7 with abase and a dome, and a globe seated between the two; its object bein to provide an improved seat for the base 0 the globe; and it consists in the novel features hereinafter pointed out in the lantern as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the lantern,

' tures 18 for receiving the lugs 17.

some parts being'shown in vertical section Fig. 2 is a plan section on theline 2 -2 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is'a detail of the globe seat.

'Ihe lantern is provided with a guard hoop or cup 10, within which is seated an oil font 11, a dome 12 provided with a crown flange 13, a globev 14 seated within the guard hoop and engaging thedome, and a guard cage 15 which also constitutes the standard upon which the lantern may rest when not in use. The seat for the globe is in the form of aflat split ring 16, provided with a plurality of radiall projecting lugs 17, the normal diameter o the split ring being slightly greater than the diameter of the guard hoop 10 within which it is inserted by compression, the guard hoop being provided with 'aper By this means the globe seat is held in place by its own elasticity, and may be inserted after the lantern has been otherwise completed, including the tinning operation.

It is the practice to apply the finish of tin to lanterns of this type after the parts have been assembled, and if the globe seat is insorted before the tinning operation the tin will accumulate on it unevenly and not pro- .vide a proper seat forthe globe. The o ing or split 19 in the ring 16 accommo ates I the wick raising spindle 20 and the apertures 18 are so positioned that this 0 ening is brou ht to and held in the pat of this. s/pin le. While I haveshown and prefer a fiat ring for the globe seat, it is ObVlOUS that it may take other forms in crossrsection.

I claim as my invention,

1. In a lantern, in combination with a.

frame comprising a guard hoop,a dome, and a'eage connecting the hoop and'dome, of a flat split ring forming a globe seat and being elastically expansible and having radial lugs engaging a 'ertures in the guard hoop.

2. In va antern, in combinationv with a frame, comprising a guard hoop, a dome, and a cage connecting the hoop and dome, of a flat compressible elastic ring forming a globeseat, the hoop being provided with a seat for the ring.

.3. In a lantern, in combination, a guard hoop, and a flat elastic ring forming a globe seat and being seated withm the hoop, such ring having an a erture to accommodate-a -wick raising spin lo, and radial lugs for engagin apeitures in the hoo i 4; n a lantern, in com ination with a frame comprising a guard hoop, a dome, and a cage connecting the hoop and dome, of a s lit ring forming a globe-seat and being e astically expansible and having radial lugs the ring.
