...This type of lamp had the oil pan placed higher than the wick to make the light brighter and keep it burning for a long time. The next revolutionary improvement was the Quinquet lamp (also called the Kenquet lamp), invented by French pharmacist Antoine Quinquet (1745-1803), which had a glass chimney to protect the flame from the wind and prevent the light from being blocked. The Argand lamp (a type in which the oil pan was directly connected to the cylindrical wick) invented by Swiss chemist Aimé Argand (1755-1803) was the final basic type of oil lamp, and it was American B. Silliman who created it. By using oil instead of animal or vegetable oil, the wick could automatically absorb the oil and create a bright light source, so Silliman's oil lamp eliminated the traditional oil lamp and spread almost throughout the world by the 1870s and 1880s. *Some of the terminology that mentions "Argan, A." is listed below.

…これは灯火を明るくして,長時間点火できるように,油壺を灯芯よりも高いところに設置した形式であった。これに次ぐ画期的な改良は,炎を風から保護して,なおかつ光が遮られないように,ガラス製の〈ほや〉をつけたフランスの薬剤師カンケAntoine Quinquet(1745‐1803)創案のカンケ灯(ケンケ灯ともいう),スイスの化学者アルガンAimé Argand(1755‐1803)が創案したアルガン灯(筒形の灯芯部分に油壺を直結した形式),そして最終的な石油ランプの基本形式を生み出したのが,アメリカのB.シリマンであった。動物油や植物油に代わって石油を使うことによって灯芯が自動的に油を吸い上げて,明るい光源をつくり出すことができたから,シリマンの石油ランプは,従来のオイル・ランプを消滅させて,1870~80年代には,ほとんど世界中に普及していった。… ※「アルガン,A.」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
