MAX HERSKOVITZ, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

SHADE-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

.Patented May 20, 1919.

Application filed April 29, 1916. Serial No. 94,408.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MAX HERSKOVITZ, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook andrState of Illino1s, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shade-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide in a unitary structure means providing a seat for an upper shade and suspending means for a lower inverted shade depending therefrom.

A further object of my invention is to provide in combination with the said unitary structure a shade holder cooperating therewith to clamp the upper shade on its seat.

A further object of my invention is to provide such a unitary structure and a Shade older of such construction that they may be detachably secured together, whereby the unitary structure is suspended solely from the said shade holder; and with these and other objects in view my invention consists of the parts and combination of parts as will be hereinafter set forth.

In the drawings:

Figure l is a central vertical sectional .view illustrating my invention.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the shade holder detached.

Figs. 3, 4, and 5, are detail sectional views, parts being in elevation showing further embodiments of my invention.

The reference numeral 1 designates a shade holder the dome of which is provided with an aperture 2 for the passage of conductor cord 3. The wall of the holder is provided with screw threads 4 and below these threads the wall is flared outwardly at 5 whereby an increased diameter is provided, whereby the holder may fit over the upper-flange bead or collar 6 of an upper shade 7, the object of which is to hold the upper shade on its seat as will be hereinafter pointed out.

The lower shade holder is a unitary structure and comprises, in the preferred form, a

sleeve 8, open at both ends and provided at its upper end with screw threads 9 which are adapted to intermesh with the threads 4 of the shade holder 1, whereby the unitary shade holder is detachably suspended from the shade holder 1. The sleeve 8 is provided at its lower endwith a seat 10, of suitable conformation, for the upper shade 7, the flared end 5 of the dome 1 clamping or holdin tion on said seat.

Depending from the seat 10 are means for suspending a lower inverted shade'll from said seat and beneath the upper shade 7,

v and for the purpose of illustrating my in-' clamp will depend entirely on the configu ration of the upper edge of the inverted shade l1 and also depend on whether or not arms or chains are used as the suspending medium. The primary object of my invention being the unitary structure.

In order to adapt my invention to all kinds of'repair work so that the unitary structure may be used in connection with shade holders on old fixtures, I may flare the upper end of the sleeve as shown at 14 in Fig. 5 for cooperative engagement with the usual clamping screws 15 found in ordinary shade holders. Otherwise the unitary structure is the same as heretofore described.

Or I may, instead of flaring the upper end of the sleeve, provide elongated openings 16 through the sleeve for the reception of the ends of the usual clamping screws 15; and where the shade holder is not large enough at the bottom to receive the collar, bead or rib at the top of the upper shade, I provide a supplemental member 17 adapted to surround said collar, bead or' rib, and said member is held in place by reason of the upper shade in proper posi- I the fact that it is clamped between the the .shade holder detachable as shown in- Fig. 3 and have a cooperative screw thread interlock 19 between the holder and dome.

Many changes may be made in the details of construction within the scope of the claims, without departing from the inven tive thought herein disclosed, hence I would have it understood that my invention is not limited to the details of construction shown in the illustrated embodiment.

What I claim. is:

.1. A shade holder for a light-inclosing bowl, and a reflector superposed over said bowl, said device consisting of a socket cover having a cylindrical threaded body terminating at its lower end in aflaring skirt, a sleeve reinovably mounted within said body and projecting downward therefrom, said sleeve having an annular flange at its lower end located below the edge of said skirt, said sleeve being adapted to be embracin-gly engaged by the neck of the shade or reflector, and said flange constituting a seat upon which said shade or reflector is supported, and arms carried by said sleeve and adapted for engagement with the upper edge of the light inclosing bowl.

2.'A shade holder for a light inclosing bowl, and a reflector superposed over said how], said device consisting of a socket cover'having a cylindrical threaded body terminating at its lower end in a flaring skirt, a sleeve removably mounted within said body and projecting downward therefrom, sald sleeve having an annular flange at its lower end located below the edge of said skirt, said sleeve being adapted to be embracingly engaged by the neck of the shade or reflector, and said flange constitut ing a seat upon which said shade or reflector is supported, arms secured to said sleeveand hooks formed upon the ends of said arms for supportingly engaging the rim of a. bowl.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
