This invention relates to shades or shields in the form of two-piece or sectional hoods for electric light bulbs and more specifically to attaching means or holders for such shades.
A primary object of the invention is to provide attaching means for a removable glass hood of the sectional type commonly employed for embracing or enclosing a portion or all of an electric light bulb to adapt the bulb for use as a colored decorative light or for use in its usual capacity, said means comprising a simple, efiicient and improved device whereby the hood is yieldably mounted upon and supported by the lamp and which may be readily disconnected therefrom when desired.
Another object of the invention is to provide a hood or shade holder for an electric light bulb which may be quickly applied to the hood and attached to a bulb and easily removed therefrom when desired for use in.
connection with other bulbs or other hoods.
In carrying out these objects, the invention is susceptible of, modification without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the claimed invention; there being shown in the drawings for illustrative purposes the preferred and practical form, in which:
Figure 1 represents aside elevation of an electric light bulb with a hood shown applied thereto and held in position by the holder constituting this invention,
Fig. 2 is a similar view taken in a plane at right angles to Fig. 1,
Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the holder applied, the hood being ready for attache ment to a bulb,
Fig. 9 is a perspective detached, 1
Fig. 10 is a top plan view showing the holder applied to the hood,
Fig. 11 is a perspective view showing still another form of holder in connection with view of the: holder a hood which is designed to completely embrace or encircle an electric light bulb,
Fig. 12 is a perspective view of one member the holder used in'Fig. 11; and
Fig. 13 is a horizontal section throughthe hood showing the holder in plan view.

tion and clampingly engage the bulb B said v ends being oifset inwardly from the body portion of the wire as shown at 12. These offset portions12 are designed to be engaged with notches 3 formed in the opposite edges of the hood below the rib 2 as is shown clearly in Fig. 4:, thesenotches being provided to receive the wires and permit the shade sections to fit'snugly together.
In the form shown in Figs. 5, 6 and i, the I hood section 1 is the same as that shown in V,
the figures above described the holder 10" being shown in the form of two pieces of wire bent to form loops 13 and 14 which are hingedly connected at their looped portion as shown at 15 said connection being effected in this form of the invention by twisting the two members 13 and 141 together as is shown clearly in Fig. 7. One end of each member 13 and 14 is bent-laterally outward to form hooks 16 and 17 which are designed to be hooked around the opposed edges of the hood section 1 as is shown clearly in Fig. 6. The other ends 18 and 19 of the members 13 and 14 are bent to con form to the shape of the bulb B and are designed to clampingly engage the bulb. This holder 10 is designed to be located within'the hood section 1 as is shown clearly in Figs. 5 and 6 and when applied will efi'efitively hold the hood engaged with the bul In the form shown in Figs. 8, 9 and 10 the hood or shade holder 10 is designed to be located within the hood section 1 and is composed of two pieces of wire twisted together as shown at 20 which constitutes the body of the holder. Extending upwardly from this twisted body 20 are two diverging arms 21 and 22 which terminate in downturned hoods 23 and 24 designed to be hooked over the upper edge of the hood section 1 as is shown clearly in Figs. 8 and 10. Extending laterally in opposite directions from the lower end of the body portion 20 are two curved arms 25 and 26 which are designed to lie within the hood section 1 and form clamping fingers for engaging the 10831 and securing the shade or hood on the In the form shown in Figs; 11, 12 and 13, a two piece shade or hood 1 is shown the two members of which when assembled completely encase the lamp bulb. These members 27 and 28 are designed to be secured around the bulb by means of a holder 30 composed of two members 31 and 32 which are similar in construction forming hood clamping rings one of which extends around one side of the hood and the other around the opposite side as is shown clearly in Figs. 11 and 13. Each of these members is provided with tangentially extending loops 33 and 34 on one member and 33 and 34 on the other member and when assembled these loops overlie each other, that is the loop at one end of one section overlies loop at one end of the other section and the loop at the other end of the first mentioned section underlies the loop at the other end of the second mentioned section, as is shown clearly in Figs. 11 and 13. These members 31 and 32 have interengaging notches in their con tacting faces which operate to hold the members 31 and 32 connected and the hood sections 27 and 28 assembled on the lamp bulb as well as in engagement with each other and yet permit them to be readily separated when desired.
It will thus be seen that this shade or hood holder may be constructed in many different forms and arranged either inside the hood or outside according to the construction and they may be used to attach either one sec-. tion or more so that the bulb may be either partially or wholly covered. While the shade is shown and described as made of two sections obviously it may be made of more if found desirable to do so, one of these holders beingused for each section. The notching of the meeting edges of the shade sections to receive the holders provides for the shade sections fitting close together and enables the holders to be carried by the shade sections and to engagethe bulb. While the the shade and bulb, holding securely without 4" any play or rattle.
Without further description it is thought I that the features and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and it will of course, be understood that changes in the form,-proportion and minor details. of construction may be resorted to, without departing from the spirit and scope of the claimed invention. I claim In combination a transversely bowed shade to snugly embrace one side of an electric light bulb, having a shoulder formed on its outer face and extending to the longitudinal edges thereof and a relatively short slot formed in said edges and adjacent said shoulder, and a split resilient clamp formed of a single semi-circular strand of wire'engageable with the shade beneath the -shoulder and having inwardly extending terminal portions projecting through said slots and beyond the longitudinal edges of the shade for engagement wit-lithe electric light bulb to hold said shade thereon.
