NIGHT LIGHT Filed Oct. 12, 1945 wTOR ATTORNEY Patented June 10, 1947 UNITED STATES o- FI-ce NIGHT LIGHT Hem-yMoretti, Cranston; R. 1. Application October12, 1945, Serial No.- 612L935 1 Claim. 1
My present invention relates to electrical lamps, and more particularly to a novel construction of night lamp.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide a night lamp suitable for a. baby's or small childs room.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a night lamp which will provide minimum of indirect light for a babys room.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a babys night lamp which is simple and economical to manufacture and assemble and light and sturdy in construction.
With the above and other objects and advantageous features in view, my invention consists of a novel arrangement of parts, more fully disclosed in the detailed description following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and more particularly claimed in the appended claim.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a night lamp embodying my invention; and
Fig. 2 is a section of the same.
It is often necessary to provide a babys or small childs room with a light for midnight feedings and even to. burn all night. It is desirable to provide a lamp for this purpose which will not glare and will not disturb the babys eyes or its sleep. It is also necessary that the lamp be safe to handle and cool even after burning for many hours.
The lamp of the present invention embodies all the above features and in addition is constructed to be pleasing to the eye and adapted to fit into a childs room.
Referring more in detail to the drawing illustrating my invention, the night lamp l comprises a frame II which can be made of wood (illustrated), plastic, metal or any other desirable rigid material. The frame ll comprises a front end 2 having an inverted U-shape and being cut away at the bottom, as at l3, to form stubby legs I4. The rear end l5 of the fram II, is of the same size and U-sha-pe as the front end I2 and is also similarly cut away to form stubby legs IS. The front end l2 and rear end I5 are connected by parallel rails I! (one shown) extending from each end adjacent the bottom and just above the legs I4 and IS.
A conventional lamp socket I8 is screwed or otherwise fastened at right angles into the rear end Hi. It is preferable to centrally locate the socket approximately one-third of the distance from the bottom of the rear end l5 as shown in Fig. 2. The electrical cord connection I9 is passed through a vertical hole 20 extending upwardly from the bottom edge of the end l5. To operate the socket, the pull chain 2l. extends verticalls and is connected to the inner end of a lever 2'2 pivotally mounted in a slot 23 cut in the upper edge of the rear end l5. The slot 23 is of sulficient length to permit free movement of the lever 22 and of sufiicient size to permit free ventilation of the lamp. The socket I8 is provided with abulb 24 preferably of frosted glass and of 7 watt size.
An inverted U-shaped cover portion 25 is positioned over the frame I l extending slightly below the rails l1 and fastened to the rails and ends by means of ornamental tacks 26. The cover 25 is of a translucent material such as parchment and may be ornamented with decalcomanias if desired. To simulate an animal such as a dog (illustrated), cat, horse, etc., the outer end of the lever 22 is shaped like an animals tail, and a carved head 21 is cut out to fit over the upper front corner and may be fastened by a screw 28 extending through the front end l2.
In operation, when the tail portion of the lever 22 is depressed, the lever will pivot and the inner end will pull on the chain 2| and light the bulb 24. Release of the lever will permit me conventional spring action of the socket l8 to pull the chain 2| downwardly and return the lever to its original position. It will be found that with the above construction the cover 25 will glow with a very dim light and a slightly brighter light will be reflected from the surface of the table or other article on which the lamp is positioned and escape from the narrow space between the surface and the bottom edge of the cover 25 and also through the cutouts between the legs of the front and rear ends. This will provide a subdued light of just enough intensity to distinguish objects in a room.
Where the light is left burning for a considerable time, the small amount of heat generated by the lamp will circulate out of the slot 23 and the cover 25 will not get hot.
The above construction provides a lamp that is simple in construction yet light and sturdy and capable of withstanding abuse. Besides providing an excellent night lamp, it can be decorated to simulate animals in the usual nursery style.
While I have described a specific embodiment of my invention it is obvious that changes may readily be made in the size, shape and relative arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention as defined in the appended claim.
I claim:
A night lamp comprising a frame having inverted U-shape front and rear ends, an inverted U-shape translucent cover portion mounted on said frame with the lower edges spaced from the bottom of said frame, an electric pull chain socket mounted on the inside of the rear end of said frame and at right angles thereto, said rear end having a, vertical opening'extending from the bottom and communicating with said socket, an electrical extension cord passing through said opening and in electrical contact with said socket, said rear end portion having a slot at the upper edge thereof, a lever pivotally mounted in said slot, said pull chain being connected to the inner end of said lever, the outer end of said lever simulating the tail of an animal, and a carved animal head mounted on the front end of said frame.
HENRY MORETTI.
