' Lun-suman. 1,214,847. manchem mm.' Patented rene, 1917.
Application alec september 1s, 191s. seria; no. 120,502.
To all 'whomitmay concern.' so that it will be possible for the owner 'to Be it known that I, @uvm W. Toom, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Brooklyn, Kings county, New
York, have invented anew and useful Lamp- Shade, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to -a new and improved lamp shade. The object of the invention is to provide` an ornamental fabric Vshade which may be readily attached to an ordinary fixture the construction being such 'that it is adaptable as to size. The shade, in.
its preferred form, is also adjustable, whereby a single shade may be applied to a wide variety of sizes of lamp fixtures.
lIn the drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the shade open at one side.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view.
In the drawings I have shown my invention as at plied to an overhead lighting lixture. y `shade lin ythe particular form shown comprises a band 1, ,from which depends what I may term an upperskirt 2. The lower edge of this upper skirt is reinforced by a strip or band 3 from which de pende what I may term a lower skirt 4. The ower edge ofthe lower skirt is reinforced by astrip or band 5. 6 is a fringe which may depend from the band 3. 7 is a fringe which may depend from the band 5. The upper skirt 2 is referabl made from silk taken in so as to orm sma l pleats. The up- .per edge of this skirt 2 is formed with a pocket around the same within which is located the bandl. The band 3 is located within a pocket or at the lower edge of the 1upper skirt 2. The band 5 is located within 'a pocket formediat the lower edge of the lower skirt 4. In the particular form shown, the band 3, when the shade is in its final form and in position, is larger than the bands 1 and 5. These dimensions may, of course, be varied to suit different conditions and tastes. y'
The strips or bands 3 and 5 should preferably be formed Vof a suitable material which will operate as a stay, for example,
the well known'material featherbone may be successfully employed. The band 1 is preferably of elastic material so that the shade may neatly fiton fixtures of different sizes.
In the preferred form, the ends of the re#- spective bands are separable and adJustable tirely around the fixture. y
modify the appearance of the shade by increasin respectlve bands. To that end I ma provide atl the ends ofthe respective ban s, any suitable fastening Vdevices which will permit the purchaser to effect the aforesaid adjustment with the greatest ease. In the particular form shown in the drawin I have provided one end of each band with a ball fastening 8 and I have provided the other end of each band with a series ofsocket fastenings 9 9 to receive said balls. When the ends of the respective bands have been connected so as to secure the desired adjustment, the material on the bands back of the then exposed ends may be slid forwardly so as to completely cover and hide the connected ends of the respective bands. This gives acontinuous effect to the upper and lower skirt portions and to the fringes en- By constructing` the shade in this form the said device maybe made and sold in the opened up form so that the purchaser may use his or her taste in connecting up the ends of the shade by overlapping the ends of the respective bands more or less as desired for securing the particular effect desired. 10 is an ornamental band or belt of material shirred upon an elastic core which may be applied to cover the upper band 1, if desired, and which in some instances, may add to the attractiveness of the article. It will be understood, of course, that sulcient fullness is given to the material so that it will have a shirred effect upon the respective bands, although this is not essential in all cases.
'While I have shown ornamental fringes, obviously the same are not essential, although in many cases preferable.
This fabric shade may be applied with great success to fixtures of the bowl shade type where indirect light is sought and without in any substantial way interfering with the same. When used in connection with a table light of this character, the lower skirt 4 serves to shade the eyes of those around the table, while a more intense light is permitted to pass through the ylower central open part of the sha e. The o en upper part of the shade permits the irect rays from the lamps proper to go u wardly toward the ceiling in the intende 'mannen or decreasing the diameter of the latter A Y struction 4has advantages that willM plainly ap r to anyone familiar with this art.`
atI claim is:
' 1. Alam shade comprising an upper and lowerjflexi le skirt portion,.a reinforcing band between the same, an expansible an contractible band at the upper edge ofthe upper skirt, and a reinforcing band at the lower edge of the lower skirt.
2. A lamp shade comprising an upper and lower flexibleV Vskirt portion, a reinforcin bandv between the same, an expansible an contractible band at the upper'edge of the upper skirt, and a reinforcing band-- at the lower edge of the lower skirt, the upper band being elastic.
3. A lamp shade comprising an upper and lower, flexible skirt portion, a reinforcing band between the same, an expansible and contractible band at the upper edge of the' upper skirt, and a reinforcing band at the lower ed of the lower skirt, one of said bands being adjustable as to length.
v 4. A lam shade comprising an upper and lower fiexi lle skirt portion, a reinforcing band between the same, an expansible and contractible band at the uppe upper skirt, and a 'reinforcing band at the lower ed e of the lower skirt, all of said bands being adjustable as to length.
5, In a lamp shade of the character described,'a plurality of bands, a fabric skirtlike connection between Vsaid bands with pockets therein within which said bands are located, means for connecting the ends of' said bands, said pockets being arranged to permit the' fabric to be slid over said conv nections to hide the same and to form a continuous shade.
