PORTABLE ELECTRIC LAMP Filed Aug. 18, 1927 Patented Nov. 12, 1929 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE RAYMOND E'. OLLEY, OIF SYRACUSE, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO ORO'USE-HINDS COMPANY, OF SYRACUSE, NEW YORK, A CORPORATION F NEW YORK PORTABLE ELECTRIC LAMP Application led August 18, 1927. Serial No. 213,956.
This invention relatesto portable electric lamps and has for its object a particularly simple and efficient and compact construction, whereby the parts are held in assembled position and also means by which the body` and the lamp guard are grounded and also means by which the cable enclosing the service wires is so` connected to the lamp socket that the wires are relieved of mechanical tension in the ordinary use of the lamp.
The invention consists in the novel features and in the combinations and constructions hereinafter set forth and claimed.
ln describing this invention, reference is l5 had to the accompanying drawings in which like characters designate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is an elevation of this portable lamp.
Figure 2 is a similar elevation with the handle securing means and section of the guard removed and the handle partly broken away. y
Figure 3 is a side elevation of parts seen in Figure 2, with the handle displaced lengthwise of the cable.
This portable lamp comprises generally, a body, a lamp socket, a handle, means for securing the lamp socket to the body and additional means for securing the handle to the body, also a guard including'a section rigid with the body and a section movably connected to the handle securing means, the body and the handle securing means enclosing the lamp socket and a portion of the handle and a. grounding conductorelectrically connected to the body and to the ground wire of the cable which extends lengthwise through the handle, the grounding conductor also having means for gripping the cable to relieve the wires of mechanical tension.
1 designates the body which is of metal, it being semi-circular in cross section and having a semi-cylindrical recess in which the lamp socket 2 is located and also having a larger substantially semi-cylindrical recess 3 at its lower or outer end in which an enlarged head 4 ot the handle 5 is located. lThe lamp socket 2 may be .of any suitable form, size and tu construction.
The means for securing the lamp socket to the body, as here shown comprises a met-al strap 6 semi-circular in general outline and having outwardly turned lugs 7 at its ends which are secured, as by screws 8, in shallow recesses 9 in the edge of the body 1, the strap lying in a peripheral groove 10 in the lamp socket body 2. The means for securing the handle to the body is complemental to the body and comprises a semi-cylindrical sleeve 11 having rencesses comnlemental to the recesses 2*x and 3 of the body, the sleeve 11 being clamped toward the body on the handle by screws 12 extending through holes in lugs 3 on the semi-circular sleeve 11 and threading 65 into holes 14 in lugs 15 on the body.
The body 1 isformed with a guard section 16 integral therewith, this being in the form of a cage and having a stud 17 at its outer `end to which is secured a hook 18 by means 70 of which the lamp may be hung on any suitable support.
19 is a guard section complemental to the section 16 but in the form of a reflector, the guard section 19 being movably connected as 75 a hinge pin 20 to the semi-circular sleeve The guard section has a semi-circular notch 21 at its outer end for fitting around the base of the stud 17 and with a lip 22 around 80 the notch. A fastening member as a wing nut 23 is movable lengthwise of the stud 17 and has an annular flange 24 for skirting the lip 22 and holding the guard' section 19 in its normal osition. By unscrewing the wing nut 23, t e guard section 19 can be swung on its pivot to open the guard and permit the removal and replacement of the lamp 25.
26 is a cable embodying three wires 27, 28 and 29, two of which are connected to the wire terminals of the socket in any suitable manner.
30 is a grounding conductor for grounding the lamp body and the guard, this being a rigid piece of metal located within the handle and the semirylindrical sleeve 11, it being here shownas rigidly secured, as by' spot welding at 31, to the strap 6 and having a terminal 32 for connection to the ground wire 29. This rigid conductor 8O is also pro- N0 vided at its outer end with a device for gripping the cable.
The cable grip here shown comprises aws 33, 34, the former being secured as by spot Welding to the lower end of the conductor 30 and the latter being clamped toward the former in order to grip the cable by suitable means as screws 35 extending through lugs on said aws 33, 34, the lugs on one of the jaws being threaded. By reason of the cable grip, tension strain on the wires and on the wire terminals due to the pulling that the cable receives in the normal use of the lamp, is'
avoided.
This lamp is particularly advantageous in that it consists of a few compactly arranged parts which provide means for grounding the metallic parts ot the lamp as the lamp body, guard etc.
