LlYGrItitTlNG- FIXTURE.
Application filed March 18, 1925 The present invention relates to lighting fixtures and more particularly directed toward the provision of a lighting tixture having an extension col-(h which extends outwardly from the canopy of the liXt-ure and is si'iitahly supported at a distance troin the canopy to permit it to hang tree oi the parts oi the lighting lixturc carried below the canopy. Devices of this type are particularly u fiul in providing convenience outlets For lixtures such as kitchen 'lixtures.
The present ll'liQDtlOD contemplates an in'iprored device e't' this type wherein the cord supporting means is entirely indepemlout of the devices which are used in sup 'iortlug or nioui'itii'ig the lighting linturc on the outlet hon or other support. lly malt ing these parts independent of one another one is enabled to provide parts each elf which better adapted for its respective purpose, and also the entire fixture may he more easily assembled and. installed.
lt is tl'iere'tore an object of the present iii-- vention to provide a lighting fixture canopy with a laterally extendii'ie; ineniher, either pern'ianently or semi-permancntly attached to the canopy and to so place this nieinher that it may readily support the extension cord. ll herc the canopy is made of sheet nietah as common in making kitchen jllli' tures the present invention eonten'iplatcs utilizin a wire loop attached to the sheet metal. s aniping. A. convenient way of doinp this is to roll the ed no of the s'taiiinaing over the loop, leaving a portion ol. the loop eaten-ding outwardly to provide the. cord support.
ll'hile the embodiment ot the present invention to he shown and described in detail is a kitchen lhtture haying a sheet metal canopy it is to he understood that the invention may he applied to other styles oli lighting: fixtures made of other materials.
tlhe accompanying drawings show, tor purposes o'lf ilh'lstrating the invention, one ot the many terms in which it may he enihodied.
ltn these drawings:
Figure l is a sectional View, with parts in elevation ot a lighting liztture provided with the present cord supporting means;
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the lighting}; hitture; and
Figure 3 is a section taken on the line 3--3 of Figure 1..
Serial No. 16,308.
The kitchen unit shown in the drawings includes a canopy 1th a elohe supporting): shell ll a olohe l2, socket lilr lamp l t, and suit-ahlo devices .lor supporting the unit and carrying: the crttcnsion cord. (lee lei-n1 o't device the suin'ierting; the unit may he a llsha'pcd strap whose lower ends are hent outwardly as shown at lo and .17 and, threaded to receive sci-curs l El and 19. These screws pass tlllJOtIIll holes and 21 in the canopy and nuts and i l -l (it any desired shape may he threadm into the screws to .(Ilttllll) the canopy on to the strap. The strap is provided with a cei'ltral hole 53% to receive a crow toot EH hicliey or gas pipe and with slots 26 and ill to receive screws tor atlachinn: the strap to the lugs of outlet hoses. lit will thus he seen that the strap may he attached to any of these devices and the tiltturc connected thereon as a unit.
its here shown he extension cord sup porting: means is in the town ot a wire loop 30. This loop is ierinanently attached. to the canopy by rolling;- the upper ede e ill. at the sheet metal stamping about. the wire. A portion of the rolled ednje is cut away indicated at 32,. and the wire loop is carried laterally out from the canopy as shown at Bil and 3a., to l)1ll."l(l( a laterally indeedin er nieiuher adapted to lie :uljaceut the coil- "lhe outer end (it the loop is hent lownwardly as shown at El?) and a Vhushinn' 3t supported. in this (hmnwardly lient portion. in. order that the extension cord may he sately passed through the canopy, a hashing 86 is placed in the upper part (it the canopy, preferably directly undcrncatl'i the exposed part ol? the wire loop. ltn ere tension cord 8 is passed outwardly from the cai'iopy and throi'ioh both bushings and allowed to hang downwardly as it heated. The cord is thus supported to hang; tree ot the niche l2.
llin inanu'lacturing the l'lXillllt), the wire loop is tlorn'ied to shape and is 1ernuruently fastened to the canopy, and in rnoiu'itine the tixture the loop, extension corth and other parts may he handled as a. unit and readily attached to the depending screws fltl and 19 carried on the ceiling support. There is no tendency for parts to pull out of place or be otherwise dislodged or lost. The canopy may be attached and hroue ht close to the ceilin and the wire loop is sulliciently lileltihle so that any unevenness in the plaster fill ill]
l. 1 ll V is compensated for. The mounting plate laterally from-the canopy, and a cord sup-- and Wire may assume any desired angular position.
It is obvious that the invention may be embodied in many forms and constructions and I wish it to be understood that the particular form shown and described is but one of the many forms. Various modifications and changes being possible, I do not in any 7 way limit myself with respect thereto.
