Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 27, 1920.
Application filed February 26, 1919. Serial No. 279,3?0.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, RICHARD S. Green, a
citizen of the United States, residing at Pittsbur h,-in the county'of Allegheny and State of ennsylvania, have invented anew and useful Electric Side Light, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has reference to electric side lights, and, its object is to provide a oncpiece glass structure to replace the ordinary brackets customarily used for electric side lights where the bracket stands out from a side wall. 1 p
In accordance with the invention an electric lamp, including its socket, is supported close to and substantially parallel with the sidewall by the simplest form of carrying means, such as a crow foot and an iron pipe nipple to which latter the electric light socket is made fast in suspended position. The device for supporting the lamp socket and the socket and lamp are inclosed in a one piece glass shade having a plane, open side engaging against the wall flush there with, and a single screw knob made fast to the supporting end of the socket traversing theglass shade serves as a carrylng means for the latter holding it tight against the wall. The electric lamp bulb, socket and carrying means therefor are all housed in and hidden by the shade, except the knob.
The invention will be best understood from a consideration of the following de tailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, with the understanding, however, thatthe inventionis not confined to any strict conformity with the showing of the drawing, but may be changed and modified so long as such changes and modifications mark no material departurefrom the salient features of the invention as expressed in the appended claims.
In the drawing 2- Figure 1 is a vertical central section through the shade with the electric lamp and socket and some other portions shown in elevation. s a v 7 Fig.2 is-a face view] of the shade.
Referring to the drawing, there is shown in Fig. 1 a wall 1 whichmay be taken as indicative of a side wall of a room. Fast to they wall 1 is a crow: foot 2 which may be taken as indicative of any suitable support. ,Screwed into the crow foot and projecting therefrom is a pipe nipple 3 such as is customarily used in supporting certain electric devices. Screwed onto the end of the nipple 3 remote from the crow foot 2 is a fitting 4, ordinarily termed a loop, having nipples 5, 6 respectively, in angular relation. Opposite one of the nipples of the loop is a socket for the reception of the corresponding end of thenipple .3. This producesa T which, when on the nipple 3, has the nipple 6 in line therewith with the nipple 5 constituting the stem of the T. Screwed onto the nipple 5 1's an electric lamp socket 7 which may be of customary form for the reception of an electriclamp bulb 8 of ordinary construction.
There is also provided a shade 9 which, in the showing of the drawing, is of semiellipsoidal form, although such particular shape is not obligatory. The shade is made of one-piece of frosted or milk glass or of any other type of glass suitable for the purpose, which is to completely cover and hide the electric lamp and its supporting means from direct view, wherefore the supporting means for the lamp and socket may be of the crudest nature without being obtrusive to the eye of the observer. In the particular showingof the drawing the shade is of stepped form providing a series of ledges 10 through one of which near one end of the shade, which latter is relatively long compared with its width, there is provided a passage 11 for the projection of the nipple 6 beyond the front of the shade to receive a knob 12. Since the knob 12 is visible to the eye of the observer at all times it may be made of ornamental form. The shade is provided with a rear edge 13 which may be in one plane to it flat or flush against a side wall and the edge 13 is provided with shallow passages 14- serving as ventilating means, since, when the lamp 8 is in place, it is inclosed by the shade 9 except for the wall 1, and the passages 14 provide, for circulation and therefore avoid overheating when the lamp is lighted.
The shade 9 is held in position by the single knob 12 and may be readily removed by unscrewing the knob 12, whereupon the lamp 8 is fully accessible and may be replaced if broken. The fixture requires but a minimum amount of labor for installation and electric conductors 15 for supplying the lamp with current are carried through the nipple 5, body of the loop 4:
and nipple 3 to the usual walloutlet, which latter, however, 1s not shown in the drawing. Since the lamp, when 'inclesed in the shade 9, is not accessible it will be understood that such a lamp will be controlled by awall-switch in the usual manner.
The formation'of the shade 9 with ledges 10 provides for a suitable location of the passage 11 nearthe top of the shade so that the latter is pendently carried from the same support used for carrying the electric lamp bulb and socket, thus simplifying the structure and correspondingly cheapening the cost of material and installation.
The shadeis, in effect, a semi-globe with a wall-engaging edge in a plane extending V lengthwise of its long axis so that the shade constitutes a semi-ellipsoid, the visible surface ofwhichmay beinore or lessdivergent from a true ellipse for ornamental or other purposes; It is to be understood, however, that it is not obligatory that the shade should be of elliptical contour for it may stituting a supporting means for an electric lamp and socket wholly covered by the shade beyond the'wall.
i What is claimed is 1. An electric side light fixture, comprising a one-piece glass shadeof substantially semi-ellipsoid form having the rear face open and the rear edge in one plane and adapted to lie flat against a wall, said shade being of a length, width and depth to snugly inclose an incandescent electric lamp bulb, and said shade having a passage there through near one" end thereof, supporting means for the electric lamp bulb within the shade, and. means for carrying both the supporting means for the lamp bulb and the shade, said 'means traversing theiipassage through the shade to carry the fixture pendently. V v
2. An electric light fixture comprising an electric lamp socket and supporting means therefor, a one-piece glass shade of substantially semi-ellipsoidal form with a substantially plane :open back adapted to fit closely against the side wall, said shade being of greater length than width and symmetrically crowned from the back toward the front with the interior of a size and shape to receive the lamp socket and its supporting means together with an incandescent electric lamp bulb in the socket, and said shade having a perforation adjacent to one end, and suspending means for the socket and shade traversing the perforation, whereby to hold the shade pendently and clamped against the side wall.
3. A side wall electric fixture comprising a one-piece elongated glass shade with an open rear plane face substantially coextensive with the length and width of the shade, the latter being of a depth to set flush against a wall and having a passage through its outer wall near one'end, anelectric lamp socket inclosed by the shade and adapted to receivean incandescent electric lamp bulb of a size to fill the major portion of the in terior of the'shade, and a single fastening .device traversing said passage to support the latter and the lamp socket and also clamp and holdthe shade against said wall.
4:- An electric side-wall lighting fixture comprising a one-piece glass shade having its rear portion open substantially coextensively with the length and width of the shade and with the edges of the rear portion provided with notches constituting ventilating passages, and the shade also having a passage through its front wall near one end, supporting means for an incandescent electric lamp to carry the latter in housed relation within and-extending lengthwise of the shade, and a single fastening device traversing the passage through the front wall of the shade and engaging the supporting means for the incandescent lamp and clamping the shade against the side wall.
5. A side wall electric lamp fixture, comprising supporting means to be attached to and project from the side wall, an electric lamp socket fast to and pendent from the supporting means and spaced from the side wall, acne-piece glass shade of a length and breadth to cover the supporting means, the socket and an electric lamp bulb in the socket, with the rear of the shade open to bear against the side wall in inclosing relation to the electric lamp, its socket and support, said shade having an opening near one end to receive the supporting means, and a clamping device for application to the supporting means exterior to the-shade and in engagement with the latter to hold the shade with its open rear flush against the wall, said clamping device and supporting means constituting the sole support for the shade.
6. A side wall electric lamp fixture comprising supporting means to be attached to and project from the side wall and comprising a pipe nipple and a loop coupling having nipples at right angles thereto with one nipple in alinem'ent with the pipe nipple, an electric lamp socket fast to the nipple of the loop other than that in alinement with the pipe nipple, a one-piece glass shade of a length and breadth to cover the support, socket and an electric lamp bulb in the socket, with the rear of the shade substantialiy coextensive with the length and breadth of the shade and open to bear against the side Wall in inclosing relation to the electric lamp, its socket and support, said shade having an opening near one end to pass the second-named nipple, and a clamp device for application to the secondnamed nipple exterior to the shade in engagement with the latter to hold the shade with its open rear flush against the Wall, 10
