THOMAS J. LITTJE, JR., OE WOODBURY, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNORTO WELSIBACH. LIGHT COMPANY, GLOUCESTER CITY, NEW JERSEY, A CORPORATION OF NEW JERSEY.
To all whomdt may concern: Be it known that I, THOMAS J. LITLE, J r., of Woodbury, Gloucester county, New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Chandelier for Gas-Lamps, of which the following is-a 'full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, inwhich Figure 1 is a sectional side elevationof a chandelier constructed in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view looking downwardly with the dome removed; and Fig. 3 is a detail view hereinafter referred to.
a My invention relates to the class of chandeliers or gas lamps, and is especially adapted for incandescent gas lamps, though it maybe employed .for ordinary lamps.
The objectof the invention is to simplify and improve the construction and arrangement ofthe partsand provide for complete control, while producing an attractive ar- .ticle.
In the drawings, 2 represents the gas supply pipe, whose lower end is screwed into thetube or block 3. From the lower portion of this hollow tube 3 lead the branch ,gas pipes 4, of which I have shown four, though any desired number may be used. Theintermediate portion of the piece 3 is valve chamber containing a rotary valve 5,which is adapted to open or close the main gas supply passage. One end of this valve exterior to the chamber is provided with a stopwasher 6,having stops arranged to engage a pin 7, thus stopping the valve in either open or closed position. The other iprojecting endof the valve is shown as provided with across-bar, from the opposite ends of which links or chains lead down through holesin the lower portion 8 of the inclosmg shell or casing. This shell or casing is preferably provided with an interior supporting rod 9 screwed into the lower end of the brasschamber 3.
The branch pipes project through the easing, and to their screw-threaded ends are screwed the valve chambers 10 containing valves 11 provided with the projecting :handles 12. Each of these valve chambers us-provided with a tip or upward extension 13, over which is slippedthe goose neck 1a,
leading to the usual VVelsbach burner 15 having the air and gas regulating devices.
Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 447,393.
30 and 31 respectively. This burner is shown as of the inverted type having the surrounding support 16 which is provided withset screws engaging the metalneck 17 of the glass shade or globe 18, to which the neck is secured. This combined glass shade and metal neck are not claimed herein specifically, as they are covered in my co-pending application No. 448,643 filed August 15, 1908.
From the brass piece 3 above thegeneral control valve, pilot light tubes 19 lead out wardly through holes in the casing and down through the top of the burner, terminating at about the lower level of the burner tip 20. The admission port to each of these pilot light tubes is controlled by a screw 21 extending across the hole, so that by means of this screw the amount of gas entering the pilot light tube may be adjusted.
Over the main iron supply tube 2 I preferably slip an ornamental. brass tube 22 over which slides the dome portion 23, forming the upper portion 01' the casing. By sliding this dome up and down access may be had to the interior of the casing to adjust or repair the parts. The dome may then he slipped down to coacting position to the lower. part of the casing and held 011 the brass tube by set screw 2%. I have also shown the upper portion of this brass tube as provided with an adjustable canopy 25 secured by set screw 26.
In the use of the chandelier, the main con trol valve may be actuated by the depending chains to either open or close the general gas supply to all of the burners. Each burner also has its individual gas cook, giving individual control of each burner. The pilot light tubes entering the main supply above the controlvalve provides for a constantly burning pilot light at each burner, or at such burners as are desired, the admission to each pilot light tube being controlled by the screws.
The advantages of my invention result from the simplicity and neatness of the article, and also from the complete control and the provision for the pilot lights .for each individual burner.
The chandelier may be used with either upright or inverted burners, and many other changes may bemade in the form and arrangement of the main supply valve and the means for actuating it, this supply valve may be placed outside of the casing, other types of burners may be employed, and other changes may be made without departing from my invention.
