LAM)? SHADE.
Application filed January 11, 1923. Serial m3. 611,941.
T all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, THEODORE HUGH and THOMAS MEANEY, citizens of the United States, residing at Union Course, Long Island, and Brooklyn, respectively, in the counties of Queens and Kings, respectively, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp Shades, of which the following in a specification.
The main object of this invention is to provide a lamp shade having a number of plies of homogeneous cloth fabrics securely united and formed into any bi-laterally symmetrically ornamental shape to make an artistic article of this class.
Another object is to provide metallic flexible grips on the lamp shade suitable to engage a bulb for supporting said lamp shade.
These and other objects will become ap parent in the description below, in which characters of reference refer to like-named parts in the drawing.
Referring briefly to the drawing, Figure l is an elevational View of an electrical table lamp, showing the lamp shade in the preferred form mounted thereon.
Figure 2 is an elevational sectional view thru the mould and core, showing the plies of fabric being moulded into form.
Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional elevational view of the lamp shade, showing the construction of the same.
Figure 4: is a bottom plan view of the lamp shade, showing particularly the grip ring which grasps the bulb of a table lamp.
Describing the drawing in detail, the numeral 1 indicates the body material of the lamp shade which is preferably composed of buckram or similar material which, before being formed, is circular in shape and has a relatively large concentric hole at its centre. An outer layer of fabric 2 is out to a similar size and shape as that of the body buckram and forms the exterior cover of a lamp shade. An internal fabric member 3, identical in size and shape to the buckram body 1, covers the internal surface of the lamp shade. These covers 2 and 3 can be made of any colored fabric desired, the preferred practice being to tint the outer cover 2 withsome dark color, while the inner cover 3 is tinted with a color which has a high reflective index.
In fabricating the lamp shade, the buck- .ram body 1 has both its surfaces-treated with a desirable glue. The outer cover 2 and inner cover 3 are then applied to the respective faces of the body. After the three members are thus united, they are ready to be formed.
The forming means consists of two members, the mould 6 and the core 4, with the latter resting upon the table, the glued members 1, 2, and 3 are slipped over the, hub 5 of the core. similar interiorly to the contour of the core to conform to the shape of said core and has an aperture 7 formed at the top. Said mould 6 is then slipped over the hub 5 of the core member 4 with the glued fabric members 1, 2, and 3 between the core 4 and the mould 6. Both the core 4 and the mould 6 are then tightly pressed together so as to form the cloth members 1, 2, and 3 into the desired shape. When this operation has been accomplished, the whole de- The mould 6 is formed vice is then exposed to heat of a moderate temperature and allowed to stand for an in terval of time, until members 1, 2, and 3 are formed into the new shape. When the lamp shade has been formed with this mould and core. and is then taken out of the mould, no folds or partial folds will appear on the fabric, as are seen in the ordinary lamp shades to the detriment of their appearance. Ornamentation, such as trimmings 8, may then be attached to the various edges of the lamp shade at the top. F ringing 9 may be sewed tothe bottom edge of the lamp shade on the exterior surface of member 3 and covered with braid trim- Ining 10, the-latter serving the double purpose of concealing the method of attaching the fringing and of acting as ornamenta- 9 tion. A shaper ring encircles the lower edge of the lamp shade and is stitched to the inner fabric 3 and covered by braiding 12 which acts as a concealing agent for the ring. The drawing illustrates a pair of grips l3 whichare attached to the upper end of the lamp shade and are composed of a resilient material so that when applied to a bulb or light they will grip the same and retain the lamp shade in place over an electric lamp. It is to be noted that applicant: does not limit himself to the particular design of the lamp shade shown, as any form desired can be made thru this process by simply changing the contour of the mould and core. It is als to be understood that any kind of braiding or ornamentation may be used, for the fringing such as tassels, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
We claim In a lamp shade, a circular buckrani body having a concentric hole therein, the surfaces of said body being treated with glue, cloths of similar conformation as the body attached to the glued surfaces of said body, a shaped ring attached to the lower interior edge of the formed lamp shade, said ring being adapted to prevent said shade from buckling, a cloth covering concealing said 15 New York and State of New York, this 6th 20 day of J anuary, 1923.
