LIGHTING DEVICE.

Application filed February 27, 1914.

Tu W 'uw mm it mm; (-mmcrn Be it known that I. .Xn'rnun Suzitn, a citizen of the l'nitcd Ftatcs of America. and a resident of N w York. borough of Manhattan county and State of New York. have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lighting Devices. 01' Much the following is a specification.

This invention relates to lighting devices. and more particularly to such as are ar ranged to give dili'crcnt colored lights. and the ohicct of the invention to provide such a device which may be readily applied to an incandescent electric lamp bulb of tubular shape, and of special construction of candt labra base, and caused to be operated by the heat produced by such lamp-bulb.

The invention will be more fully described hereinafter and finally pointed out in the claims.

Fig. 5 is a section on line 5-5 of Fig. 3, Fig. 6 shows the. improved deico applied t another form of lampshade. Fig. 7 is the lamp-bracket separately shown in side-view. Fig. F is a back view thereof. Fig. 9 shows the lainirlu'ackct with a hinge-basc in different positions. Fig. 10 shows another application of the improved device as applied to a portable sign. Fig. 11 is a plan \icw thereof, and Fig. 152 is an inside \lCW of the structure shown in Fig. 10.

Similar reference numerals indicate corresponding parts throughout the figures oi the drawings.

Referring to the drawings, and more particularly to Figs. 1 to 5. a lamp is arranged which is composed of a standard 15 having a. base-portion 1G with brackets 17. and which brackets support a lan1p-shadc 18. consisting in the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, of four sides. as is well known. These sides 18 are made of art glass or other trans parent material. and are supported in the frame- 19 as is also well known. Preferably the glass 18 arranged in the rear of an outline metal or pressed metal portion 18 representing a scene with a suitable picture of a landscape or the like, as for instance Specification of Letters Patent.

sl'iowingr a sunset. which scheme speviall; adapted to a variance of colors. .lthe ldlllp'fitllttltlllP the lamp-socket is touncrtcd with a special incarnlesccnr lamp bulb indicated by 20 in Fig. .6. and which bul is provided at its upper end 'w tb 2 head 21 to which is secured a point-.4 2'2 of platinum or other suitable nutwi as shown in Fig. 5.3. The incandescent lamp lid l when it is lighted gives oft a curtain unounf. o best. and this heat ilows upwu dli am; if lron tlnbulb. In order to utilixc tii a plurality of \anes are an ma the lull. each ot' these vane liei rz I with a cuntral portion it to the lento:- p. oi which is connected a )ckcn.tion These parts are dcllcctwi and an so ar ranged that they are impinged u on by i heat rays and the rising: :ii: current n: n the bulh. and are causal to be. ota ed around tlic platinum pin-point far. 'llwair lions through spac s 'tr-rwi the wars. which spaces are iinlirati-d by oral of these vanes. as for instan e thrw (i the same. are connected with a lunar structure 13 by means of rods 30. and this i'rruuc t: turc has glass plates along thu ri e tliw indicated by 33. the corners (it uhich are suitably protected by metal reinforcing members 34.

In Fig. 5 the structure is shown in crossscction. The air is conlincd so as to pass upwardly touard the rant-s :23 .1 ill rotate the same. By the rotation of tinrane-. the hole structure is also rotated. The glass walls 33 are preferably arranged oi' diti'i-rently colored glass, while. red. yellow. blue. green. rtca and'consccutivcly each diltcrent colored glass is brought in line ith the colored art-glass panes 18 of the lampshade. As the ditl'erent colors are given to the panes 18. very pretty combinations of colored eil'ects are produced. In order to throw outwardly with more force the f ow of hot air toward the outer portion of the vanes. and thereby cause the ready startiin of the device into operation. a dellcctor 3 of isinglass or any other suitable material is provided which is seated on the upper portion of the bulb 20. A lower reflector 14 assists in upwardly directing: thr lisht and heat. The filament 36 of the bulb may be of any kind, for instance tunes on. 'arlum or the like, so constructed as to remain: iow voltage but produce sutlicient l1*'!I.-. Clear t ll light from the bulb 20 escapes between the vanes and the top of the frame 13, and strikes the upper part of the shade 18. giving the alternate lights and shades produced by an advertising device, which is provided with three

front panes

40, 41 and 42, of suit able lass, and provided with suitable advertising matter. The rear wall 43 is areshape, as shown in Fig. 11, and in the centerportion of the structure thelamp with the colored variation device is provided. The frame 13, similar to that shown in Figs. 3 and 5, has its glass walls 23 of different colored light, and has'its vanes 25 adapted to be forced into rotary movement, and the entire structure is suspended on the top of thebulb 20. The socket of the incandescent lamp is indicated by 45 and is supported by a cu'Ivecl frame 46 which supports a Wire 47 to this main socket 49, which main socket may be connected with any suitable electrh cal connection, replacing a plain or ordinary lamp bulb. The flow of air passes upwardly through the bottom -portion 50 which is provided with an adjustable valve 51, and owe around the bulb 20 and strikes the vanes, and then flows out of the top of the structure indicated by 52. The arrows show the path of movement of the air. 7 In Fig. 6, a similar bracket to that shown by 46 in Fig. 12, is shown, which also sup ports the incandescent'bulb and the structure with its vanes, and this is also suitably connected by means of the socket 49 with a suitable connection. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 6, however, the shade is formed in inverted tulip-shape, as indicated by 55, and this shade 55 may be provided with suitable pictures, landscape devices, etc., or may be made impervious to light, and wholly reflecting, so that the colored light is'cast down upon the floor below and moves thereon.

In Fig. 7 is shown the bracket 46 in enlarged form, with the conductor 47 thereon. upper connecting socket 49 and lower connecting socket 45. Fig. 8 shows a view taken at right angles to the position of Fig. 7.

In order-to show the adjustability of the hinge-base 58 of the bracket, for changing the position of the lamp, different positions of the same are clearly shown in Fig. 9, in which 57 and 59 show the different positions in dotted lines, and 58 the intermediate position in full lines, the base 58 moti'ing around the point 60. r

I have shown several embodiments of the invention, but it is clear that changes may be made therein Without departing from the spirit of the invention is defined in the appended claims. 7
