WITNESS INVENTOR HIS l1 TTORNEYS EDWIN L. WHITE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO J. H. WHITE MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.
HANGER FOR LIGHT-REFLECTING BOWLS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 29, 1916..
Application filed January 31, 1916. Serial No. 75,214.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWIN L. WHITE, a citizen of the United States, residing in the borough of Brooklyn, county of Kings, clty and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Hangers for Llght-Beflecting Bowls, of which the followlng 1s a specification.
My invention relates to hangers for llght reflecting bowls, such as are employed 1n lighting fixtures for producing semi-indirect lighting effects. Hangers of such character are commonly made of cast metal and are rigid, presenting a hard and unyielding surface against the glassware and are also provided with a set screw for clamping the bowl to the hanger, which screw is also very apt to injure the bowl, especially if adjusted too tightly. Furthermore such rlgid hangers are only applicable to bowls of a certaln shape.
The object of my present invention is to overcome these difficulties, and to dispense entirely with the necessity of a clamping screw.
The invention consists of a hanger cut out of a single piece of flat sheet metal and bent up to any desired shape so as to adapt it for use upon glassware of varying curves and thickness, and to hold the bowl with spring pressure without the aid of a clamping screw.
In the accompanying drawing:-Figure 1 illustrates the strip of metal from which my improved hanger is formed. Fig. 2, is an elevation of the hanger bent up to a shape adapted for use with bowls of the hemispherical type. In this figure the hanger is shown connected to and supporting a bowl,
the latter being insection. Fig. 3, is a rear view of the hanger alone, bent in the sameform as shown in Fig. 2, and Fig. 4:, is a plan, or view looking down on the top of the hanger bent in the same shape as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
Similar reference numerals indicate like parts throughout the several views.
10 Fig. 1, indicates a flat metallic blank from which my improved hanger is formed. This blank is cut out of the shape shown and is further out out on the dotted lines 11, which portion is bent up and curved to form the hook 12, which receives a supporting chain 13. That portion of the blank forward of the hook is bent downwardly in curved form with its end bent upwardly and inwardly in curved form to provide a seat 14 for the rim of a bowl 15. That portion 16 of the blank to the rear of the hook 12 is bent in the opposite direction in approximately semicircular form with its end 17 bent at an angle to bear against the inner surface of the bowl 15.
The seat 14 conforms to the curvature of the rim of the bowl 15 thereby giving a uniform bearing for the bowl at this point, while the end 17 of the body portion 16, is bent up to conform to the inner surface of the bowl at the point where it contacts with the same, and has enough spring to present a slightly yielding contact with the bowl.
It will be readily seen that my invention provides a hanger that can be easily bent up tov a shape to adjust it for use upon glassware of varying curves and thickness; and that it will easily hold a bowl without the aid of any clamping screw or other member.
My invention economizes in cost of manufacture, lessens the risk of injury to glassware in fixtures of the character described, not only by dispensing with a clamping screw but because it presents a slightly yielding contact with the bowl; it can be much more readily and quickly adjusted to position upon the bowl than can hangers employing a clamping screw.
I claim as my invention:
1. A hanger for bowls in lighting fixtures formed from one piece of flat metal having a hook cut out of the body portion and bent to shape, a portion forward of the hook downwardly curved with its end bent upwardly and inwardly in curved form to provide a seat for the rim of the bowl and a portion to the rear of the hook bent in the opposite direction in approximately semicircular form the end of which is adapted to bear against the inner surface of the bowl with yielding pressure.
2. A hanger for bowls in lighting fixtures formed from one piece of flat metal having a hook cut out of the body portion and bent to shape, a portion forward of the hook downwardly curved with its end bent upwardly and inwardly in curved form to provide a seat for the rim of the bowl, and a portion to the rear of the hook bent in the opposite direction in approximately semicircular form with its end bent at an angle to bear against the inner surface ofthe bowl with yielding pressure. I
3. A hanger for bowls in lighting fixtures formed from one piece of material sufii-- ciently pliable to allow its being bent to conform to bowls of Varying shapes and thickness, and having a hook cut out of the body portion and bent to shape, a portion forward of the hook downwardly curved 10 with its end bent upwardly and inwardly Signed by me this 20th day of January 1916.
