UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
THOMAS BINGHAM, OF NEVVBURG, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN LAM P-WICKS.
Specification forming part ofLetters Patent No. 45,384, dated December 13, 1864; antedated J annary 31, 1863.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS BINGHAM, of Newburg, in the county of Orange and State of New York, have invented or discovered a new and useful improvement in the material and construction of wicks for lamps used for burning-fluid, camphene, kerosene, carbon, and other oils, and for all illuminatingpurposes requiring a wick or conductor; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description of the same.
The nature of my invention and improve ment consists in constructing the wick, in whole or in part, of wool manufactured into cloth or otherwise and rendered compact by manufacture, falling, or otherwise, thereby enabling me to usea thinner wick and more thoroughly filtering the oil, preventing the effusion of oil or fluid over the tube of the lamp, thereby re ducing the risk of explosion, and not subject to tearing or fretting by the ratchet, and giving a clearer and steadier light, together with greater volume of light, without so much smoke, and not requiring to be trimmed as often as the ordinary cotton wick, and burning without crusting the wick, as does cotton wick,and requiring a less quantity of oil or other burning fiuid.
1 do not claim as my invention any particular manner of constructing or using wicks for illuminating purposes, or any kind or construction of tubes for using the same, or any particular apparatus for burning or consuming the smoke or gases, but the substitution of a woolen material for the kind at present in use.
What I claim as myinvention or discovery, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The substitution of wool, in whole or in part,
for wicks to lamps for burning-fluids, camphene, kerosene, carbon, and other oils, and for all illuminating purposes requiring a wick or conductor, substantially as set forth and described in the foregoing.
' THOS. BINGHALWI.
