ADOLPI-I C. BECKER, OF OAKVILLE, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR TO WATERBURY MFG. 60., OF WATERBURY, CONNECTICUT, A COBPOBATION.
SHADE-HOLDER.
Application filed October 30, 1912.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ADoLPI-I C. BECKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oakville, in the county of Litchfield and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Shade-Holders; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the characters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this application, and represent, in-
Figure 1 a side view of a shade holder constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 an inside View of the same showing the ring in the closed or locked po sition. Fig. 3 a similar view showing the ring extended for the removal or insertion of a shade. Fig. 4 a sectional view on the line ab of Fig. 2.
This invention relates to an improvement in shade holders for gas or electric lights, and particularly to that class in which the edge of the globe or shade is held by a spring ring.
The object of this invention is to provide a simple arrangement whereby the shade will be firmly held in a central position; and the invention consists in the construction hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claim.
In carrying out my invention, I employ a cup-shaped holder 2 of any approved design adapted to be attached to a fixture in the usual way. Projecting inward from the outer edge of the cup is a skirt or flange 8 forming an opening corresponding to the flange of the shade 4 adapted to be supported. The junction of the skirt 3 and holder 2 forms an annular groove for the purpose as will hereinafter appear. With a body thus formed, I employ a ring-shaped Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 9, 1913.
Serial No. 728,646.
wire 5 one end 6 of which is rigidly secured to the skirt or flange 3. The other end 7 of the wire projects outward through a clearance slot 8 formed for it in the flange adjacent to the point at which the end 6 is secured, so that the wire forms nearly a complete circle. The center of the wire is bent into U-shape forming an inclined foot 9 which extends into the groove formed by the junction of the body and flange. Normally the distance between the sides of the wire between the ends and foot is less than the diameter of the opening formed by the flange 3 and so as to firmly grip the flange of the shade. When it is desired to remove the shade, it is only necessary to move the end 7 away from the end 6 to separate the sides of the wire and so as to clear the flange of the shade. The foot 9 has a bearing in the groove and so forms a firm support for the shade, that is, the portion of the wire opposite the ends is provided with a support.
I claim A shade holder comprising a cup-shaped body formed at its outer end with an inwardly curved flange, the junction of the body and flange forming an annular groove, said flange formed with a clearance slot, a ring-shaped wire having one end fixed to the flange adjacent to said slot, the other end of the wire projecting through the said slot, and the central portion of the wire formed with a U-shaped foot extending into and having a bearing in the groove formed between the body and flange.
In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
ADOLPH C. BECKER.
