Abstract
A fuel oil lamp having a large replaceable oil vessel with an interference ring molded about the exterior perimeter of the vessel for creating sufficient securing force between the exterior surface of the vessel and the interior surface of a base sleeve while eliminating intolerable binding frictional forces therebetween, the vessel being easily inserted into and removed from the open bottom of the base sleeve permitting a chimney mounted above the vessel and base sleeve to assume any construction and inside diameter, the oil lamp having simple lines which are esthetically pleasing, is economical to produce and conveniently positioned for packing.
Claims14
A fuel oil lamp comprising, in combination:
- containing means for storing a volume of fuel oil to be burned by said lamp;
- a sleeve mounted over said containing means, said sleeve having an open bottom for receiving said containing means;
- an interference ring formed on an exterior surface of said containing means, said interference ring being resilient and being compressed between said containing means and said sleeve for providing a force for securing said containing means to said sleeve;
- delivering means extending from the interior of said containing means for drawing said volume of fuel oil out of said containing means;
- and
- illuminating means mounted on a top portion of said containing means for reflecting light provided by the burning of said fuel oil.

- an interference ring molded to an exterior surface of said oil vessel, said interference ring being resilient and being compressed between said oil vessel and said sleeve for providing a force for securing said oil vessel to said sleeve;
- a wick extending from the interior of said oil vessel for drawing said volume of fuel oil out of said oil vessel;
- and
- a chimney mounted on a top portion of said oil vessel for reflecting light provided by the burning of said fuel oil.
A method of constructing a fuel oil lamp, said method comprising the steps of:
- storing a volume of fuel oil to be burned by said lamp in an oil vessel;
- sealing said oil vessel and extending a wick from the interior of said oil vessel for drawing on said volume of fuel oil;
- mounting a sleeve over said oil vessel, said sleeve having an open bottom for receiving said oil vessel;
- molding an interference ring to an exterior surface of said oil vessel, said interference ring being resilient and being compressed between said oil vessel and said sleeve for providing a force for securing said oil vessel to said sleeve;
- and
- mounting a chimney on a top portion of said oil vessel for reflecting light provided by the burning of said fuel oil.
