On this day in 1897 Charles Miller and Frederick Miller were granted the patent for CYCLE-LAMP. U.S. Patent No. 595,191.
This invention relates to lamps adapted for burning light oils such as paraffin. The lamps are used on cycles, motorcarriages and other road-vehicles and has for one of its objects a smokeless lamp that is unlikely to be extinguished by the normal vibrations of the road. Another object of this invention is screening reflectors and other bright interior parts of the lamp from the products of combustion of the flame. A further object is a new construction of the lamp which makes assembly much easier.
