Description
Patented Dec. 9, 1941 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE LAMP Frederick R. Hodges, Chicago, Ill. l
Application February 17, 1939, Serial No. 256,902
(o1. 24o-81) i Claims.
This invention relates to a light fixture, and has for one object to provide in connection with a light iixture which has one or more main light sources an auxiliary or night light. Another object is to provide in connection with such a light fixture an auxiliary light which occupies space which would otherwise be unoccupied. A` further object is to provide in connectiony with a lighting xture of the type indicated in which a housing is provided for electric wires or switches or the like an auxiliary light within one of such housings. A still further object is to provide in connection with a fixture of the type indicated an enclosed or housed auxiliary light, which light is housed or enclosed within structural members that would be present whether the auxiliary light were supplied or not.
Other objects will appear from time to time throughout the specification and the' claims.
The invention is illustrated more or less diagrammatically in the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of one form of the light with parts broken away;
Figure 2 is a vertical section taken on an enlarged scale at line 2-2 of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a side elevation of a modied form of housing or shell with parts broken away and parts in section.
Like parts are designated by like characters throughout the specification and the drawing.
While the features of my invention may be applied to lights of many sorts, such as standing lamps or table lamps, the invention is not limited to any particular type of lamp or base. It
is shown here, however, as applied to a standing lamp, which comprises a base I, an upwardly eX- tending ornamental shaft or housing 2, within which may be positioned a load-carrying member 3, which is preferably tubular in shape and encloses the lighting connections.
A housing 4 of rounded `or partially globular shape is secured to the tube 3, and held down upon it and in engagement with the upper end of the tube 2 by a nut 5, which is threaded on the upper end of the member 3. A plurality of candle brackets 6 may be joined to the housing 4 and, as shown, support candle-like fixtures 1, which carry lights or globes 8. Positioned upon the housing member 4 is a second housing member 9, which is provided with a flange or bead I0 about its lower edge. At one side, the bead I0 engages a projection I I, formed in the housing 4.
At the other side, it is secured by a screw I2 to the housing 4.
Positioned largely within the housing section 4 is a reiiector and partition I3. It may have a laterally extending edge portion I4, which in the form here Vshown is engaged between the upper edge of the housing 4 and the lower or downward shoulder I5 of the upper housing 9. Obviously, the reflector might be positioned otherwise. Thehousing member 9 is provided with a plurality of perforations I6, which may be of any size or shape. They might be, as here shown, a number vof relatively lsmall perforations, or might be slots or might be otherwise made.
At its upper end, thehousin'g 9 is provided with an internally'threaded section I1, which may, as here shown, be integral with the housing, or might be otherwise made. One or more ornamental discs I3, I8 may be positioned on the upper end of the housingll. As shown, these discs have ornamental flanges I9, which are positioned outwardly and serve as ornamental features. A shell 20, which is nicked in as at 2l, rests upon the uppermost flange I8. It is perforated to permit a tubular member 22 to pass through. This member is threaded as at 23, and engages the threaded portion I1 of the housing 9, and holds the parts in place. For some purposes, it is desirable to provide a tubular casing 24 about the member 22. In general, the member 22 serves to carry wires 25 upward to a lighting socket, which is not shown. The shell 2|] may be enlarged adjacent its upper end, as at 26, to re-e 4ceive a light bowl 21. A shade 28 is suspended from or supported upon the bowl by members 29. An'electric light bulb 30 is positioned in the xture contained in the shell portion 20, 26.
Positioned within the housing formed by the members 4 and 9, and preferably suitably attached to the reflector I3, is a socket member 3|, which is provided with an insulating collar 32, holding it out of contact with the reflector I3. An electric light bulb 33 is removably positioned within the socket 3|. Wires 34, 34 are connected to the socket 3l, and are then connected to the housing 35 of a switch. A switch-operating button or handle 36 extends outwardly from the housing, and serves for turning the light oi and on.
In the modified form of Figure 3, the internal construction is substantially that shown in Figure 2; but the upper part of the housing member or shell. construction is different and comprises a tubular member 31, having an outwardly flared bottom bead 33, substantially like that shown in Figure 2. A partition 39 may be formed within it to support the tubular member 24, which
