Description

ADJUSTABLE ELECTRIC LIGHT FOR A BED OR THE LIKE Filed March 16, 1933 INVENTOR BY GEORGE KoLB .a%mjji RNEY Patented Apr. 3, 1934 PATENT OFFICE ADJUSTABLE ELECTRIC LIGHT FOR A BED OR THE LIKE George Kolb, Scarsdale, N. Y.
Application March 16,
1 Claim.
The present invention relates to an adjustable electric light especially suitable for beds and the like.
It is an object of the present invention to pro- 5 vide a simple and practical electric light which is completely adjustable and which is capable of remaining in the adjusted position.
It is another object of the invention to provide an adjustable light which is particularly adapted for use on the head of a bedstead.
It is a further object of the invention to provide an adjustable electric light which can be manufactured readily and economically on a commercial scale and which is capable of being used in conjunction with an attractive and decorative casing.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing which illustrates a perspective View of an embodiment of the invention hanging on the head of a bedstead.
In the drawing, the reference character L designates an electric lamp which is screwed in a receptacle R. Attached to the receptacle is a pair of electric conductors in a cord C. At the end of cord C is a plug P capable of fitting any standard outlet (not shown) connected to electric power or light lines.
Surrounding the receptacle is an annular casing A which encircles lamp L. It has been found that the receptacle may project through the periphery of the casing in a radial direction. By utilizing this construction, the electric light extends approximately radially to the central region of the casing and is positioned substantially parallel to the front and back of the casing. In this manner, the casing may be hung against and parallel to the head of the bedstead I-I.
Secured to cord 0 is a counterweight W. In practice a piece of lead or heavy metal may be used as the counterweight and may be enveloped in a fabric bag. Between the cord and the counterweight, a connector K is provided. The connector may be an extension of the fabric bag or may be a piece of string or any suitable material as those skilled in the art will understand.
Practical tests have demonstrated that the improved adjustable electric light may be ad- 50 justed in any selected position on the head of a bedstead or any other piece of furniture or the like. A user is then able to adjust the light in alignment with the reading matter or on any desired thing.
Due to the construction of the present adjust- 1933, Serial No. 661,105
able electric light, it is possible to stretch silk ruflies S across the front and back of the casing A. In the drawing, the ruflies S extend only partially across the casing although the rufiies may cover the entire front or back. Instead of silk, other materials may be used. For instance, the casing may be covered with a sheet of parchment, isinglass and the like.
It will be observed that the present invention provides an adjustable electric light comprising an annular casing for the concentration of the rays from the light, a receptacle projecting through the periphery of said casing in substantially a radial direction, an electric light fitting in said receptacle and extending within the casing to a central region thereof, an electric cord connected to said receptacle for attachment to an outlet of electric light or power lines, a plug at the end of said cord, and a counterweight attached to said electric cord at a substantial distance from said receptacle whereby the light may be hung on a bedstead or the like and adjusted in a selected position.
While a preferred embodiment of the invention has been illustrated and described, it is to be understood that various modifications and variations may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claim.
I claim:-
An adjustable electric light comprising an annular casing having a fiat front and back adapted to rest against a vertical support and to be practically parallel thereto, a receptacle projecting through the periphery of and into said casing in a radial direction, an electric light fitting in said receptacle and extending in a radial direction within said casing to a central region thereof, said light being wholly enclosed in said casing and not extending therefrom, an electric cord connected to said receptacle, a plug at the end of said cord, and a counterweight attached to said cord at a substantial distance from said receptacle whereby the light may be hung on a bedstead or the like and supported in any selected position.
