ELECTRIC-LAMP FIXTURE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 1, 1916.

Application filed May 5, 1915. Serial No. 25,880.

To all whom it'mag concern:

Be it known that I, ORVILLE E. Coon, a citizen of the United States, residing at -Troy, county of Rensselaer, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination Spool- Stands, Thread-Guides, and Electric-Lamp scribed and subsequently claimed.

Reference may be had tothe accompanying drawings and the reference characters marked thereon, whichform apart of this specification.

Similar characters refer to similar parts in the several figures therein. The principal object of the invention is thread, and an electric-lamp-su'pport, comprising a unit which can be readily mounted upon a sewing-machinetable adjacentto a sewing-machine or between oppositely dis posed sewing-machines Figure 1 of the drawings is a view in perspective of a combination spool-stand, thread-guide and electric-lamp-fixture embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a vievi in side elevation of thepost with the spoolstand removed, the upper 'end of the post, the thread-guide and the velectric-lamp-supporting pipe being partly broken away and shown in vertical section. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the spool-stand. Fig. 4 is a central,

vertical section showing a broken-away portion of the post upon which the spool-stand is mounted.

Referring to the drawings wherein the invention is shown in preferred form, 1 is a hollow post having a base, 2, provided with means whereby it can be readily attached to a sewing-machine-table, the base being shown provided with screw-holes, 3,

for that purpose.

The upper end of the post has a head, 4, formed of oppositely disposed hollow lateral projections, 5 and 6, the projection, 6, being open.

The top of the head is-provided with a screw-threaded aperture, 7, adapted to receive a set-screw, 8.

A pipe, 9, has itsinner end mounted within the hollow projections, 5 and 6, being secured therein by engagement of the setscrew, 8, wlth the inserted end of the pipe.

Theinserted end of the pipe is provided I with a lateral opening, 10, communicating with thehollow interior of the post and adapted to permit a wire orcable, 11, to be run up'through the hollow post and into and through the pipe to an incandescent-- electrlc-lamp-socket, 12, on the outer end of the pipe.

A thread-guide in the form of a spider, 13, ismounted upon the top of the post, being centrally apertured to receive thesetscrew, 8, and being clamped tightly between the top of the post and a lock-nut, 1 1, fitting the set-screw, 8.

15, and immediately thereabove with op At a point intermediately of the-base, 2,,/

and head, 4, the post is formed with a shelf;

with an aperture, 18, which is adapted to receive andfit the adjacent oifset portion of the pdst. By having the offsets, 16, in line with the respective ofisets, 5 and 6, the post, 1, can be conveniently molded of metal.

In setting up the device, the spool-stand, 17, is passed down over the head, 4, of the post, the aperture, 18, in the stand being adapted to freely pass the offsets, 5 and 6. When the spool-stand has been forced down upon the shelf, 15, it will be firmly supported thereuponv and prevented from rotation by means of the offsets, 16. After'the spoolstand has been thus mounted upon the post, the lamp-supporting pipe, 9, is 'wired before the pipe is applied to the post, after which the end of the pipe provided with the opening, 10, is inserted through the open projection, 6, into the hollow projection, 5.

1 The spider, 13, is'then placed upon the top of the post, the set-screw, 8, is screwed down tightly upon the inserted end of the pipe, 9, and finally the lock-nut, 14, is screwed down with four pins, 19, and the spider, 13, with tightly uponthespider, 13, to clamp thefour vice being adapted to be mounted upon the middle of sewing-machine table be tween two rows of sewing-machines, and to furnish light, spool-supports and threadset located intermediatelv' of said base and head, a spool-stand mounted upon said offset on the post, an electric-lampsupporting pipe mounted in said lateral opening in the head of the post in communication with the hollow interior thereof, and a thread-guide mounted upon the head of the post.

2. A device of the class described comprising a hollow post having a base provided i with means whereby it can be attached to a sewing-machine table, a head provided with a lateral opening, and, intermediately of said base and head, a shelf, and adjacent to said shelf an offset, a spool-stand apertured to receive the offset-portion of said post and adapted to rest upon said shelf, an electriclamp-supporting pipe secured in said lateral thread-guides, 20, this form of the de claim as new. and desire to secure opening in the head of the post in cormnunication with the hollow interior thereof, a a thread-guide mounted upon the head or the post.

3. A device of the class described comprising a hollow post having a base provided with means whereby it can be attached to a. sewing-machine table, a head formed by oppositely disposed hollow lateral projections on the post, one of said projections being open, said head being provided with a screwthreaded aperture in its top, said post having intermediately of its base and head a shelf and adjacent thereto oppositely disposed oflsets in line with the respective offsets forming the head, a spool-stand adapted to rest upon said shelf and apertured to fit the offset-portion of the post adjacent thereto, an electric-lanip-supporting pipe mounted in the hollow projections in the head of the post and projecting out through said open projection, the inner end of said pipe being provided with a lateral wire-receiving opening communicating with the hollow interior of the post, a set-screw fitting the screw- I threaded aperture in the top of the post engageable with the inner end of Said pipe, a

lock-nut on said set-screw, and athreadgulde apertured to recelve sald set-screw and clamped between said lock-nut and the top of the head.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand thislst day of May, 1915.

ORVILLE E. COOK.
