J. H. Homes. l PRESSED GLASS PEND'ANTS FOR CHANDELIERS, ac. No.182,66'8. Y Patented sept. ze, 187e.
UNITED STATES PATENT GFEIGE JOHN H. HOBBS, OF WHEELING, WEST VIRGINIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN PRESSED-GLAS-S PENDANTS FOR CHANDELIEIRS, &c.
Specification lformin g part of Letters Patent No. 182,668, dated September 26, 1876; application led September 11, 1876.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN H. HOBBS, of Wheeling, county of Ohio, Stat-e of West Virginia, have invented or discovered a new and useful Improvement in Pressed-Glass Chandelier and Lamp Pendants; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, concise, and exact description thereof, reference heilig had to the accompanying drawing, makin g a part of this specification, in whichlike letters indicating like parts- Figure l is a perspective view of my improved chandelier or lamp pendant. 'Fig 2 is a horizontal sectional view thereof in the line a' a2, Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view thereofin the line w m', Fig. 2.
The object of my invention is the production of a pressed-glass pendant for use with chandelier lights or hydrocarbon lamps or lanterns in imitation of the prismatic pendants ordinarily used, wherebylv the desirable and pleasing effects of the latter are in a measure secured at a greatlyreduced cost.
My improved pendant is made of glass by pressing the same in a mold having cavities and plunger properly shaped for the purpose. It consists of a seriesv of prisms, a, each triangular or otherwise, such prisms being united at their edges in the operation of pressing, as at o, so as to constitute a continuous annular pendant. This continuity 1nay, however, be
interrupted at intervals by pressing the pendantin two or more sections, With the line of division between sections, along the edges of two adjacent prisms, provided that the secy tions, when placed together edge to edge,
shall give substantially the appearance of a continuous annular pendant, and be distinguishable by the union of adjacent prisms from the separated independent prisms heretofore in use.
To the ring of prisms thus constructed I add a band of polygonal or other suitablyshaped ornamental figures, e, united to each other, either continuously, as at e', or in sections, as before described. Any desired style of ornamentation may be added at pleasure.
The arrangement of the prisms a may be varied at pleasure, as, for example, by projecting the angular portions c outward instead of inward, the connection of one prism to another being preserved, as before.
The pendant thus made is arranged around, above, or beneath theV gas-burner of a chandelier in any manner usually practiced in arranging ornamental pendants, and is supported in any convenient way; but I also fit it fer use with hydrocarbon lamps by adding to it, while in process. of manufacture, an inwardly-projecting ring, s, with an aperture suitably shaped to form a seat for the lampbowl, or some part thereof; or by notches s therein I provide for a Uayonet-tastening, by which a corresponding device on or attached tothe lamp-bowl may be interlocked with the pendant. This device may be used as a lantern-globein a suitable frame.
l claim herein as my invention- 1. As a new article of manufacture, ,a pressed-glass lantern or pendant, consisting of a ring of prisms united edge to edge, substantially as set forth.
2.l In a pressed-glass lantern or chandelier and lamp-pendant, the combination of a ring of prisms, a, and a band of figures, e, united in the operation of making, substantially as set forth.
3. In a pressed-glass lamp attachment, an inwardly-projecting ring, s, suitably shaped in the edges of its aperture for supporting the lamp, substantially as set forth.
.In testimony `whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
JOHN H. HOBBS. Witnesses:
LUGIEN B. MARTIN, BENJAMIN M. HILDEETH.
