The lower edge-of .the easing' and .of the ends 14 and 1 5,; is--.beaded to fornr a groove 23' adapted 'to 'receiyethe f lange. 24

at the run of the channeled or ztrough shaped I glass. 25. This glass will preferably be tra nsluccnt, and when the-1 parts are, assembled the lamp is completely inclosed, and

concealed. The front edge of the casing 13 has a; continuous bead or groove 23, and the flange 24 at the'frontqedgeof the glass is alsocontlnuous. .Atthe rear edgeotihe casing 13 the head 23 iscuti awajymtinters vals, -..formingrecesses 26, anclft-he flai ge o the'glass. is also recessed atigtpiral s lg j in' projections 27 which when -l the; glass. is. in place are engaged by the; reinaining l arts of the bead 23. When the glass "is shifted endwise. sufficiently to ;register. -the' projecholder or casing and. may action is accompanied bythe-removal of the detachable end 15. Thus to remove the glass 25 and so expose the lamp for any-purpose the end 15 is first slipped ofl". The

When the glass is replaced, its flange 24 at the front is first en a ed in the front groove (3 23, and it is then s id along to locked position, and the end piece 15 is slipped into place and held by the-springs 16. The casing parts 13, 14 and 15, and the supportin arm'G, are preferably made'of metal and may be ornamented as desired.

For gallery use and the like the reflector casing 13 will be made any desired length;

with suitable supporting arms at intervals,

When'a long reflector isused the number of lamps will be increased accordingly.

An advantage'of the construction above "described with respect to the devices for "holding the glass 25 is that the g .zss can be removed without disturbing the lamp,

shifting the same only far enough to regis- 'ter the projections 27 with the spaces'26,

\Vhat I claim as new is:

1.. A lighting fixture comprising a channeled casing with end closures one of'which is removable, a lamp support said casing, and a removable glass having interlocking engagement at its sides with the edges of said casing and at its ends with the' said end closures- Y 2. A lighting fixture comprising a semicylindrical casing having end "closures one of which is removable,'a lamp support in said casing, and a semi-cylindrical glass having sliding engagement at its side edges with the edges of thecasing, said glass also having closed end portions which engage with the edges of the said end closures.

3. A'lighting fixture comprising a chan nele'd casing having grooves at opposite edges, the groove at one edge being inter-.

rupted by recesses, and. a glass having projecting margins which are slidable into said grooves to'holdthe glass in posit-ion,-one

margin being interrupted 'to form projectionswhich will pass through said recesses,

whereby the glass may be removed by shifting the 'same to register the projections with said recesses.

4. A lighting fixture comprising an elongated cha nneled casing having grooves at. opposite edges, the groove at one edge being interrupted {by recesses, end pieces on the casingfhaviiig grooves at theiredges, one of said end pieces being removable, a troughshaped glass having marginal flanges at its sides and ends engageable in said grooves to hold theglass in position, the flange at one side of the glass being interrupted to form projections, the glass bein 'shiftable: to register said projections wit said recesses and permit removal of the ;glas's,-and cans in the casing to support'a lamp.

Y "5. A lighting fixture comprising a'channeled" casing having end closures one of .whichis removable, the edges of-said casing and closures having alinedgrooves,fla channeled glass with closed ends, theside and end margins of the glass having'flanges fitting in the grooves to hold theglass inplatie, the side flanges of the glass bein slidable lengthwise in the side grooves of t e casing to permit insertion or removal thereof, and a lamp support in the casing l p In testimony whereof, I a x'my signature in presence of two witnesses.
