Abstract
A collapsible lantern includes a housing and a chimney telescopically moveable within the housing between a retracted and an extended position. The chimney includes a ring at the top and the bottom made of a high temperature-resistant thermoplastic which is adhesively affixed to the transparent chimney with a thixotropic paste. The transparency about the chimney is unimpeded by elongated retaining elements to hold the rings with the tubular transparent chimney. The chimney can be selectively extended, retracted or interlocked or released from the housing by interacting features on the lower ring and the internal surface of the housing.
