Portable lamp

Claim 2

A portable lamp comprising: A. a tubular pillar including means defining therefor an acuminate pedestal, whereby the pedestal is adapted to be removably implanted in the ground; B. an ornamental head removably supported by said pillar at the end thereof remote from said pedestal; C. a gas burner for establishing an illuminating flame mounted in said head; and D. a gas supply circuit including a portable container of combustible gas connected with said burner and suspended from said head for supplying combustible gas to said burner.

Claim 3

The lamp of claim 1 wherein said supply circuit is substantially encased within said pillar.

Claim 4

The lamp of claim 2 further comprising means defining within said pillar an access opening adjacent said valve for accommodating a manipulation thereof.

Claim 5

The lamp of claim 3 wherein said burner includes means defining an annular array of ports communicating with said supply circuit.

Claim 6

A portable gas lamp adapted to be implanted at selected locations in the soil of gardens, terraces, and the like, for illuminating the same, comprising: A. a pillar fabricated from tubular steel stock including means defining therefor an acuminate pedestal and means defining an opening traversing the uppermost portion thereof; B. an ornamental head including an annular skirt telescopically related to said uppermost portion of said pillar; C. a support fixed within said head, diametrically traversing said skirt and disposed adjacent said pillar, whereby the support is caused to traverse the longitudinal axis of the pillar; D. a gas burner mounted on said support including a cap having means defining therein an annular array of gas ports extending radially therethrough; E. a pressure bottle confining a combustible gas-generating fluid having an outside diameter substantially less than the internal diameter of said pillar; F. a gas conduit concentrically related to said pillar and coaxially related to said head, fixed to said burner and to said bottle, for delivering a flow of gas from said bottle to said burner; G. a manipulatable flow control valve interposed in said conduit for controlling delivery of the gas, through said conduit, from the bottle to the burner; and H. means defining within said pillar an access opening adjacent said valve for accommodating a manipulation thereof.

Claim 7

A portable gas lamp adapted to be implanted at selected locations in the soil of gardens, terraces, and the like, for illuminating the same, comprising: A. a pillar fabricated from tubular steel stock including means defining therefor an acuminate pedestal and means defining an opening traversing the uppermost portion thereof; B. an ornamental head including an annular skirt telescopically related to said uppermost portion of said pillar; C. a support fixed within said head, diametrically traversing said skirt and disposed adjacent said pillar, whereby the support is caused to traverse the longitudinal axis of the pillar; D. a gas burner mounted on said support including a cap having means defining therein an annular array of gas ports extending radially therethrough; E. a pressure bottle confining a combustible gas-generating fluid having an outside diameter substantially less than the internal diameter of said pillar; F. a gas conduit concentrically related to said pillar and coaxially related to said head, fixed to said burner and to said bottle, for delivering a flow of gas from said bottle to said burner; G. a manipulatable flow control valve interposed in said conduit for controlling delivery of the gas, through said conduit, from the bottle to the burner; and H. means defining within said pillar an access opening adjacent said valve for accommodating a manipulation thereof.
