NEW YORK, N. Y.
LIGHT OR GLOBE ATTACHING DEVICE.
Application filed. January 25, 1927. Serial No. 163,340.
This invention relates to an improved at taching device for securing and holding light globes, or lights, and has for its object the production of an efficient, simple and positively holding device which is easily operated for quickly removing or inserting the globe, for example, and which is safe and reliable for securing the globe in position.
Another object of our invention includes the provision of a globe holder having positive globe retaining members in combination with a spring globe securing device and means for positively locking said spring securing device in globe holding position.
A Iurther purpose includes a construction which can be operated by one hand for removing the globe or lamp.
Other objects will appear hereinafter and we obtain these objects .by the construction illustrated by the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a view in elevation showing our improved globe attaching device;
Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view thereof;
Fig. 3 is an enlarged view showing the lock device; 7
Fig. l is a view taken on the line k4: of Fig. 1 looking in the direction of the arrows, and
Fig. 5 is a view taken on the line 55 of Fig. 1 viewed as indicated by the arrows.
It is among the prime purposes of our invention to provide a globe attaching device which is without screws and whereby the globe is securely held without being cracked or jarred loose. To this end we provide a dome or globesupporting member which is preferably bell-shaped in construction and terminates in a rigid skirt or band 21 for sup porting the globe. The dome top is provided with lateral ventilating holes 22 and with a central hole 23 for receiving the securing pipe or wiring conduit (not here shown).
band or skirt (21) is he globe supportin provided'with globe or lamp securing members in the form of fixed pins 2 1 and 25"and a spring securing clip 26, all of which are properly spaced at approximately equal distances as is shown in Fig. 2. Thespring clip comprises a plate area 27, a spring portion 29, a globe engaging part 30, finger piece 31 and tail end 32. The plate portion 27 is provided with securing rivets 23 for fastening the clip to the band 21 and the tail piece readily understood. When a globe 35 is to be inserted in the dome or removed therefrom, the latch hook 33 is raised into the position shown in Fig. 3. The spring clip is then pulled out by taking hold of the thumb piece (31) and putting the clip to open position so that the globe which is normally held securely may be readily removed from the dome. When the globe is to be inserted in position the side remote from the spring latch is inserted first to engage the fixed pins.
The spring latch is then opened as explained above and the globe is slipped in place. The latch hook is then fastened and the globe, or light, is thus securely held without strain or breakage of the globe. It will be noted that by our construction the globe, or equivalent. structure, 1s always held securely and that,
the spring tension on the globe prevents rattling or danger of dropping out, due to accidental or careless loosening of the holding members, such as screws for example.
Having now described our invention what we claim as new and useful is: In a light fixture for removably securing a globe in position, a supporting member having a depending skirt with a slit therein, fixed globe engaging members side of said skirt, a hasp adjacen pi ijecting outwardly from said sl resilientglobe engaging member having a portion ofits resilient part or ding t rough the slit and a portion surrou he extendt rirt and a cliting portion of said hasp and a hook on said resilient extending portion for engaging the hasp to thereby secure the resilient member in its globe holding position.
