LAMP-SUPPORT.
meager.
Application filed March 17, 1913.
To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that 1, ROBERT E. EWING, a citizen of the United States, residing at Avalon, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp Supports, of which the following is a specification.
The prime object of the present invent-ion is to provide a new-and improved lamp support, and more particularly, a convertible support for an electric light.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a device of this character capable of being attached to various pieces of furniture and other objects, and designed to throw the light rays of a lamp at any desired angle.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a device of this character adapted to be employed for supporting a lamp on a flat surface.
In the accompanying drawing, which illustrates an application of my invention: Figure 1 is a plan view of the lamp support shown in connection with an electric light and a section of a member to which the lamp support is clamped; Fig. 2 is a part elevational and a part sectional View, the section being taken on line IIII of Fig. 1 looking in the direction of the arrows; Fig.
3 is an elevational view of the lamp supporting member; Fig. 4 is a detailed sectional vie-w particularly showing the connection between the lamp and the supporting member; Fig. 5 is an elevational view showing the device applied to a bed; Fig. 6 is a side View showing the support carrying the lamp resting on a smooth flat surface.
Referring to the drawing, 1 designates a curved plate or lamp supporting member preferably formed of spring metal, and, as illustrated, member 1 comprises reversely curved portions 2 and 3, with the curved portion 2 designed to constitute a clamp whereby thedevice may be attached to a post as 4, or to other articles. Member 1, in addition to being'formed with the reversely curved portions 2 and 3, has an end slightly curved as indicated at a, and interposed between the end a and the curved portion 2, is a curved portion Z). The curved portion 3 is provided with an elongated slot 5 into which is entered a member 6 of the adjust- Specificatlon of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 754,710.
able connecting means designed to secure the lamp to its support.
The adjustable connecting means are particularly shown by Fig. 4, and, in addition to the member 6, which latter is externally threaded, the connecting means include a cap 7, a flanged member 8, and a spring 9 interposed between said cap and the flange of member 8. The outer end of member 6 is entered in the internally threaded collar of the lower member 10 of the lamp socket.
In order to protect the article to which the support is clamped, and for the further purpose of providing an additional gripping efiect, the curved portion 2 is formed with slits 11 into which is inserted a strip of felt or other suitable material, as indicated by the numeral 12.
By the construction illustrated, it will be understood that the lamp may be moved to various positions relatively to the slot, and maintained in the desired position by means of the spring controlled connecting means, and that the support may be readily attached to various articles. The support'may also be used for supporting a lamp on the top of a table or other smooth surface, as particularly shown by Fig. 6.
What I claim is:
1. An electric lamp holder comprising a member bent to form two bearing portions and a lamp supporting portion, said lamp supporting portion provided with a slot, and adjustable lamp connecting means entered in the slot.
2. An electric lamp holder comprising a member bent to clamp a support and formed with a curved lamp supporting portion having a slot, and slidably adjustable spring controlled lamp connecting means entered in the slot.
3. An electric lamp holder having a clamping portion provided with feltor like material and having a lamp supporting por tion formed with a slot, and adjustable lamp connecting means entered in the slot.
4. An electric lamp supporting device comprising a curved portion provided with a slot, a curved clamping portion formed with slits, and adjustable spring means connecting the lamp and the first mentioned curved portion, said connecting means entered in the slot.
5. An electric lamp supporting device comprising a reversely curved member in-' cluding a. slotted curved portion and a clamping curved portion, and adjustable spring controlled connecting means cooperating With the slotted curved portion.
6. An electric lamp supporting device comprising a curved clamping portion formed With slits, a felt material inserted in the slits, and connecting means between the lamp and support. 10
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
