Description: |
| Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. There are no patent drawings available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
“For a Lamp Reflector; Edward Brown, Dover, Strafford county, New Hampshire, October 1.
The patentee undoubtedly thinks this a new thing over a lamp, although there is "no new thing under the sun." We will endeavor to enable our readers to judge between him and the first Solomon.
This lamp reflector is to be made of tin, or other polished metal. Its form is to be that of a tin liquor tunnel." This conical reflector is to be suspended by its apex, and the lamp hung under its centre, by which means the light will actually be reflected downwards. The reflector may be fluted, if that form is preferred. The novelty is not pointed out; as there is no claim, the patentee "goes for the whole" reflector.”
