LIGHT-FIXTURE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 8,1912.
Application filed August 1, 1910. Serial No. 574,939.
To all whom it may concern;
Be it known that I, PHILIP J. HANDEL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Meriden, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Light- Fixtures, of which the following is a specification.
The object of the invention is to produce a fixture adapted to be used with either oil or gas lamps having features of novelty and advantage.
Referring to the drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation of one embodiment of the invention with the shade shown partly in sec tion and partly broken away to show construction. Fig, 2 is a detail view illustrating the adjustability of the sockets on the fixture supporting ring.
The invention is shown as applied to use with an oil lamp in which a denotes the font, 1) the burner, and 0 the chimney, all of which are of ordinary construction.
The standards are shown at l secured to the font just underneath the burner, (there are three of these standards usually used, one of them not appearing in the drawings) these standards are outwardly bowed and converge at their upper ends where they are secured to a shade supporting ring 2 upon which the shade 3 is carried. A fixture supporting ring 5 is sufficiently large in diameter to pass over the shade supporting ring 2, and is supported by the standards, the bowing of the standards preventing the fixture supporting ring from dropping far down.
I prefer to form projections 4 on the standards on which this fixture supporting ring can rest, but these are not absolutely essential. On the fixture supporting ring 5 electric lamp sockets 6 are adjustably mounted, and the ring is tubular so as to allow the wires to be run through them to the various sockets.
It will be seen that by merely removing the fixture supporting ring that the fixture can be entirely removed from the lamp if desired, and can again readily be put into place. Also it will be seen that the standard provides a means for supporting the shade from its upper end instead of from its lower edge as is usually the case, and forming the standards as an integral part of the font provides a unitary lamp and shade supporting structure which has features of great advantage, both in the manufacturing and i also in the handling of the lamp for the purposes of cleaning and filling it, etc.
I claim 1. The combination with a lamp, of a plurality of standards secured to the font and upstanding therefrom, said standards being outwardly bowed and converging at their upper ends, a shade supporting ring secured to the tops of said standards, and a fixture supporting ring fitting on and adapted to be supported by said standards near their upper ends.
2. An article of the character described comprising in combination with a lamp, of standards secured to the font, a shade supporting ring secured to the tops of said standards, projections from the outer sides of said standards underneath said ring, an electric fixture carried by said projections.
3. In an article of the character described the combination with a lamp having a font, of standards secured to said font, a shade supporting ring secured to the tops of said standards, lateral projections from said standards underneath said ring, a support for an electric fixture carried by said projections, socket-s adjust-ably mounted on said support, and a shade mounted on said supporting ring.
at. In an article of the character described the combination with a lamp having a font, of standards secured to said font and projecting upwardly therefrom, a shade supporting ring secured to the tops of said standards, lateral projections from said standards underneath said ring, a tubular ring mounted on said projections, electric light sockets adjustably mounted on said ring, and a shade mounted on said supporting ring.
