BED LAMP.
Application filed May 11, 1925. Serial'No. 29,281.
Be known that we, lVHIT AN SYMMES and WALTER HAnsorrnN, citizens of the United States, and residents of the city and county ofS-an Francisco, State of Oalifornia, have invented a certain new and useful Bed Lamp, of. which the following is a The inve tion relates to electric lamps for beds and the like having adjustable supporting means particularly adapted to lit beds '0 various sizes and types although, of course, it may be used in other connections, as for example, on chairs and the like, and has for its object the privision of an improved device of this character of rugged and simple construction which may readily be manufactured in numerous ornamental designs.
A further object of the invention is to provide such a lamp which may be placed upon and removed from the bend or other supporting" object quickly and in a simple manner, without the use of screws or other special securing means requiring adjustment.
Another object of the invention is to provide such a lamp which may be used with the well-known type of wall bed having means for positioning its extending part so as not to interfere with the closing of such bed.
The invention possesses other advantageous features, some of which with the foregoing will be set forth at length in the following description where we shall outline in full that form of the invention which we have selected for illustration in the drawings accompanying and forming part of the present specification. In said drawings we have shown several forms of devices embodying our invention, but it is to be understood that we do not limit ourselves to such forms since the invention as set forth in the claims may be embodied in a plurality of other forms..
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is an elevation, with parts in section and parts broken away, embodying our invention.
Fig. 2 is a detailed View taken on the line 22 of Fig.1.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a bed with our bed lamp shown in position thereon.
F ig. 1 is a side elevation of a modifi'rd type of lamp supporting means.
Fig. 5 is a. front elevation of Fig. lwith parts shown'in section; and
Fig. 6 isa sectional view taken on the line 66 of Fig. 5.
Referring to the drawings in which 1 indicates a vertical lamp support and 2 the lower securing means which is in the form of an upwardly extending hook. This book is united to the support 1 by means of a coil spring 3. The upper end of the support lis curved downwardly and carries a lamp socket 4 which supports the usual electric bulb 5 and a globe or shade 6 if desired. Preferably the socket 4 is connected with the support 1 by means of a swivel connection 7 of the ball type so as to permit vertical adjustment'of the lamp. The support is hollow to receive the conductors 8 for the bulb which extend from said bulb to said support to the coil spring 3, passing through said spring and extending beyond the same a suitable distance where they are connected with a plug 9. On its vertical portion the support 1 has a fixed downwardly directed hook 10 which lies in the same vertical plane as the curved portion of the support l. It will be apparent that this type of construction readily lends itself to the employment of numerous designs, as, for example, a fancy design 11 may be provided on the support 1 and the hook 10 may also be of ornamental design whereby an attractive lamp unit may be produced. In operation the hook 10 is placed over the top rail 12 of the bed frame and the hook 2 is engaged with the lower rod 13 of the frame, the spring 3 acting to pull hook members 2 and 10 toward each other thereby holding the unit in position in a manner readily understood. Instead of rigidly securing the hook 10 to the support 1 this book may be pivotally secured thereto as indicated at 14 in Fig. 4. The top rail 12 of different beds may be of different size and said hook may not fit the same, it being in some cases too short and in others too long. However, when the hook 10 is pivoted to the p support 1 as shown in Fig. at it may be moved about its pivot to fit any size of rail. In this construction, however, the hook 10 is providedv with a slot 10. to permit the hook to move about its pivot. In
order to permit the lamp unit to be. moved in a horizontal plane, the hook 10 may be swiveled on the support 1. For this purpose, the hook 10 may be secured on a ring 17 rotatable on the support 1 and held thereon between two fixed collars 15, 16. The collar 16 may be provided with an arc-shaped slot 18 and the ring 17 may be provided with a lug 19 fitting into the same to limit the movement of the hook 10. When our lamp isused on beds of the wall type, the lamp unit may be moved to the opposite side of the bed frame by elevating the lamp by means of its universal connection 7 so as to clear the bed frame, and rotating the same horizontally on its pivot thereby positioning the lamp to permit the closing of the bed.
e claim:
A bed: lamp comprising" a vertical frame having a downwardly bent upper portion, a lamp unit supported at the end of said portion, a downwardly directed hooking member on the vertical part of said frame for engaging the upper edge of the bed frame, an upwardly directed hooking member for engaging the lower edge of the bed frame. and a coil spring connecting said latter hooking member with the lower end of said vertical frame.
In testimony whereof, we have hereunto set our hands.
