Abstract
An electric pyramid lamp is composed of two sections, a pyramid lamp cover (1) based upon the geometric angles of the Great Pyramid of Cheops at Giza, and a fabricated pressed steel base unit (2). The pyramid lamp cover rests on the base unit for easy removal and use for standard pyramid energy work or to change for another pyramid lamp colour for personal use. The light source is of a low wattage lamp working from standard domestic electric power supply. <IMAGE>
Description
ELECTRIC PYRAMID LAMP
This invention relates to an electric pyramid lamp.
Electric lamps are a common feature of our techno-scientific era and generally comprise a base unit in which is fitted a holder to contain the light source and into which holder is connected an electric wire through which is fed electric current and the light source lights up.
Sometimes a form of transparent, translucent or opaque cover is fitted over the base as a diffuser or to offer decorative protection.
Electric lamp designs are numerous and probably number in the thousands.
The purpose of this invention is to help to bring the classical form of the pyramid into the average household for various functioning uses.
1. The electric pyramid lamp is an aesthetic geometric form which may be used as a low level light source. 2. When lifted from its base the pyramid lamp cover forms a normal pyramid shape for use in standard pyramid energy dynamics. 3. If other pyramid lamp colours are required for low level colour preference it is a simple operation to lift the pyramid lamp cover from its base and put on another pyramid lamp colour from the choice available.
The idea for this invention is based upon the classical shape of the
Great Pyramid of Cheops at Giza, utilizing it as an electric lamp unit in white opalized glass with a choice of a range of traditional stained glass colours. The pyramid shape is the lamp cover and rests upon a specially designed fabricated pressed steel base finished in white enamel.
The pyramid lamp cover is composed of four sections of stained glass held together at the corners by means of copper foil strip covered in lead solder and chemically oxidized. The base parts thereof are finished in brass channel with lead solder finish and chemically oxidized. This means of connecting stained glass for lamps and screens is well known as the "Tiffany technique".
The pressed steel base is the light source upon which the pyramid lamp cover rests. It comprises a flat rectangular upper plate in the centre of which is fitted a bakelite lamp holder around which are eight 3mm ventilation holes. On the perimeter of said plate rises a flange which holds the pyramid lamp cover in place, this falls down to a shallow wall and bends under again to form another flange forming the base upon which it sits and with a further slight upward bend forms the support for the rectangular base plate. On one of the side walls of the base unit is a 6mm diameter aperture through which the electric cable is threaded to connect to the lamp holder, and on the same side are situated six 3mm diameter ventilation holes spaced 6mm apart.
This electric pyramid lamp unit has been designed to function with a low watt bulb.
The embodiment of the invention will be shown in detail with the use of the following diagramatic drawing Figure 1. Shows in perspective, the pyramid lamp cover resting on
the base unit.
Figure 2. A plan of the pyramid lamp cover resting on the base unit.
Figure 3. Shows a side elevation of the pyramid lamp cover resting
on the base unit.
Figure 4. Shows in perspective, the base unit with lamp holder.
Figure 5. A plan of the base unit with lamp holder.
Figure 6. Shows a plan of the base unit indicating the underside.
Figure 7. A sectional view showing the fitting of the top and bottom
plates to the frame with the pyramid lamp cover in place.
With reference to the drawing. In Figure 1 the pyramid lamp cover (1) rests on the base unit (2) showing the cable (3) entering the unit.
The pyramid lamp cover (1) is held in situ on the base unit (2) by a flange (10) indicated in Figure 4, without the risk of it falling off.
Figure 2 shows the joins of the glass (4) and the brass channel (3) making a firm base to the pyramid lamp cover. Figure 3 shows the side elevation holes (6). Figures 4 and 5 indicate the ventilation holes (9) around the bakelite lamp holder (7) which is attached to the top rectangular plate (8). Figure 6 shows the underside of the base unit indicating the base plate (11) and the lower flange (12) upon which the former is secured (13). Figure 7 is a diagramatic illustration showing a corner section of the base unit with the upper and lower flanges (10 and 12) holding the top plate (8) by spot-welding (14) to the inside of the base frame (2) and the base plate (11) which said plate is held by four screws (13) to the underside.
