lFume 1 1926.
R. L. CAMPAGNA LAMP BASE OR PEDESTAL Filed March 24, 1925 INVENTOR ATTORNEYS Patented June 1, 1926.
UNITED sTATEs PATENT OFFICE.
LAMP BASE 0R PEDESTAL.
Application filed March 24, 1925.
'lhis invention relates to ornamental lamps and has particular reference to an improvement in the construction of ornamental lamp bases or pedestals.
One of the outstamling object-s of the present invention is to provide an ornamental lamp base or pedestal which includes a skeleton framework and a translucent covering which admits of the matching of the pedestal and lamp shade and which `further admits of the use of illuminating means within the pedestal which may be lighted or extinguished at will to obtain the desired eflect.
As a further object the invention comprehends the provision of an ornamental lamp base or pedestal, framework or skeleton which ma be sold as an article of manufacture a apted to be covered by the purchaser.
As a further object the invention resides in the provision of a lamp pedestal of the character set forth which is comparatively simple in its construction, inexpensive to manufacture and which is highly effective and efficient in its purpose.
With the above recited and other objects in view, reference is had to the following specification and drawings in which there is exhibited one example or embodiment of the invention which is inno way intended as a limitation upon the scope of the appended claims as it is to be clearly understood that variations and modifications which properly fall within the scope of said claims may be resorted to when found expedient.
In the drawings- Figure l is a perspective View of a lamp embodying a pedestal constructed in accordance with the invention.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the podestal skeleton framework prior to the application of the covering.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a'weight element designed for association with the lower end of the pedestal to properly balance the same.
Fig. 4 is a detail sectional View illus= trating the manner in which the weight element is associated with the pedestal.
Referring to the drawings by characters ofreference 10 designates generally a pedestal or base and 11 the shade which is supported from the upper end of the pedestal in anyl desired manner. The pedestal Serial No. 18,012.
or base 10 constituting the present invention is constructed from an ornamentally shaped skeletrn framework such as wire or any other suitable material to define an ornamental crown 12, au ornamental base portion 13 and a connecting body portion 14 which body portion adjacent its upper end is provided with crossed elements 15 which support and connect a tubular column or conduit 16 with the pedestal and which column is provided at its upper end with the lamp bulb sockets 17 and an attaching head 18 which holds the shade in place,-
The skeleton body section 14 is further provided with means 19 for supporting therein one or more lamp bulb sockets 20 for a purpose to be hereafter set forth. The ornamental base 13 is preferably provided with a plurality of depending skeleton feet 21 adapted to engage with a supporting surface upon which the lamp is placed. The skeleton framework which includes a crown, body portion, base and supporting feet is designed to be suitably covered with a translucent material 22 and binding tape or ribbon 23 which coincides with or matches the shade 11 whereby a hollow supporting pedestal for the shade and lamp is provided which pedestal is translucent Whereby upon applicationv of an electric lamp 24 to the socket 20, the interior of the supporting pedestal may or may not be illuminated at will. In order to afford means for introducing to and removing the lamp vbulbs from the interior of the supporting pedestal, a doorway or opening 25 is formed in one side thereof which is closed by a closure or panel 26 which closure or panel is preferably hinged as at 27 to the pedestal. In order to provide means for properly balancing the pedestal to prevent overturning of the same, a weight element 28 is provided which consists of Weight members 29 corresponding in number and configuration to the feet 21 and which members are connected by connecting pieces 30. Aft-er the framework and feet of the pedestal have been covered with the covering material, the inherent resiliency or springiness of the framework admits of the snapping of the weight element-28 i place, the weight members 29 being positioned or titted as illustrated in Fig. 4 within the feet 21 which serve to retain the weight elemenlt in associated relation with the pedesta By employing a pedestal of the character set forth it is'obvious that an extremely artistic and ornamental eli'ect may be obtained due to` the fact that the pedestal framework can be covered with a material or materials which properly match or coincide with the shade of the lamp.
I claim:
1. A lamp including a hollow column of .skeleton framework, a translucent covering about said frame work, a skeleton cross frame at the upper end of the column, a standard supported thereby including means for mounting a lamp shade and means for mounting a lamp bulb, a second skeleton cross frame near the lower end of the column, a lamp socket mounted therein, and means permitting a section of the translucent covering to be moved aside and afford access to said socket.
2. A device of the class described in claim l and wherein the column includes out- Wardly flaring extensions at its upper end, concealing the rst mentioned cross frame members.
3. A lamp including a hollow column of skeleton wire frame work, means for supporting a lamp standard above the column, means for supporting a light source within the column, sald column including skeleton supporting feet of spring Wire forming inwardly facing pockets, a, relatively heavy ballasting frame adapted` to be snap fitted into said pockets.
