SHADE-HOLDER.

Application filed April as, 1912. Serial No. 693,315.

To all whom it mag]- concern:

Be it known, that I, HENRY GooorRmNo, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Yonkers, in the county of Westchester and State of New .York, have invented a new and Improved Shade-Holder, of which,

the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to an improvement in shade holders for incandescent and other lamps, and it embodies a construction that is designed to enable the shade to be readily and easily attached in position with reference to the lamp globe or bulb, and as readily removed therefrom in case of damage or when, for any other reason, removal is necessary.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which the same characters of reference indicate the same parts in all the views.

Figure 1 represents a side elevation, partly in section, showing the construction of my holder; Fig. 2 represents a bottom plan with theparts 1n the same position as shown in.

Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1, showing the parts in a different posit1on; and Fig. 4 is a bottom. plan of the parts as shown 1n Fig. 3.

On the drawings, 1 represents the body of my shade holder, which is hollow and-preferably bell-shaped. When employed in connection with incandescent electric lamps it is secured at its top to the lamp socket and adjacent its, opposite end it has a cylindrical surface 2, along one edge of which is formed a shoulder 3. Beyond the shoulder 3 is another cylindrical sectiorr gf greater width than the surface 2, and the" edge or rim of this section is ,spun or crimped over as shown "hat 5. This section is provided with a projection or guide lug 6, which is curved inward and upward toward the top of the holder, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3.

The numeral 7 represents a rotatable ring havin flanges 8 and 9 which engagethe shoul er 2 and the turned-over edge 5, respectively, to hold it in place upon the cyllndrical section 4. This ring is mounted to rotate upon the open end or bottom of the holder, and the lower edge is provided with a lug 10 of the same angular extent and ourvature as -the lug 6. This lug 10 is arranged to slide over the ln 6 when the shade is to be inserted into the older, and moved into such position afterward that the pro JGClZIOIlS 6 and 10 will engage-the shade on opposite sides and hold the same in place.

The movement of the ring 7 is limited in one direction by a stop 11 projecting from the crimped-over edge 5 of the shade holder 1 which abuts against one end of the projection' -lQ when the same is in position to engage the shade, and by a projection 12 from one end of the lug6, whic other end of the projection 10 when the lug 10 is moved around into position to overlie the lug 6, to allow the shade to be inserted into the holder. 13 represents an opening in the top of the bell-shaped holderfagainst which the end of the socket rests, and by means of which the engages the Patented Sept. 24, 1912.:

fastening of the shade holder .to the sup- 1 porting structure-of the lamp is facilitated;

and 14 represents the shade itself shown in dotted lines in Figs. 1 and 3.

When it .is desired to mount the shade in .lace upon a lamp, the ring 7 is turned to ring the lug 10 into positiontooverlie the lug 6, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the projection 12 engaging one end of the lug 10, and limiting the movement of the ring at this time. The shade is then inserted into the open end of the holder. in the manner illus trated'in dotted lines in Fig. 1, one side of the flange at the upper end of the shade being slipped over the coinciding edges-of the lugs 6 and 10, so as to give the opposite side sufiicient clearance to pass the adjacent portion of the flange 9 and edge 5. The ring. 7 is then turned, the direction of movement being counter-clockwise with reference to Figs. 2 and 4, so as to move the lug 10 as far as is permitted by the stop 11: The lug 6 will now engage with the flange at the top of the conduit on one side, and the lug 10 with the same flange on the opposite side, and the shade will thus be held in position. To remove the shade it is only necessary to move the arts back to the position they occupy in Figs. 1 and 2, when the shade 14 can at once be taken out.

It will be seen that the projections 6 and 10 turn in toward the opening 13 in the body 1. This makes the projections engage the outer surface of the globe or shade 14 to better advantage, since itgives them a shape which approximately corresponds to the curvature of the globe or shade.

From the above description it will be seen that I have devised a simple and novel form of shade holder which is readily adapted to serve my purpose, and bycthe use of it a shade can be applied to a lamp at an instants time, and just as quickly whenever removal is required. r.

Itis to be noted that while I have shown and described my invention as intended for use as a shade holder, itis by no means to be restricted to'sueh' use, but may be em ployed in other'r elat-ion's wherever there is a demand for the same. Furthermore, the

holderfmay be attached to the lighting fixture on which itis used either in upright position, as shown, or in horizontal or inverted -pbsition, as will be readily understood.

I wish to have it understood that the description and drawings disclose but one embodiment of my invention, and that I do not care to be limited to the exact details shown and described, except in so far as,is expressly indicated in the accompanying claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent: y
