UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

JAMES STRATTON, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

GLOBE OR SHADE HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 251,314, dated December 20, 1881.

Application filed October 24, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMEs STRATTON, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Globe or Shade Holders, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Myinventiou relates to holders for the globes or shades of gas-fixtures and lamps; and it consists in a suspension-holder applied as a pendant from the burner, as hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a sectional side elevation of a gas-fixture fitted with the improved holder carrying a globe, and Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view on line x w of Fig. 1.

A is a gas-fixture, carrying the socket-piece B, that is fitted with a cock and burner-tip, as usual. These parts may be of any ordinary construction and provided with a single burner or a circle of burners.

The shade-holder depends from the socketpiece B, and is in two portions, one a pendant consisting of a collar, or, having downwardlycurved arms I) b b, which have their lower ends formed as hooks, and the other portion a tripod consisting of a center piece, 0, andprojectin g arms d d d, that have set-screws tapped in their outer ends, this device being similar to the same part used with ordinary globe-holders, and may be varied to suit the globe or shade used.

The pendant is attached rigidly to the socketpiece B, and the hooked ends of its arms b support the arms d of the tripod, on which the globe is held by the set-screws. The attachment and the removal of the globe are accomplished by raising it with the tripod, and then giving it a partial turn to bring the arms d over the hooks or to free them, as the case may be.

It will be seen that the globe or shade is sustained considerably below the burner, and the flame is thus more thoroughly protected from drafts.

The holder may be used for supporting globes, half-globes, and shades of any usual form, and also in connection with the protectors of reflectors. I do not limit myself in these respects.

Having thus fully described my inventiob,

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The lamp or shade-holder consisting of a pendant having hooked arms I) and a tripod having arms 01, adapted, as described, for receiving the globe or shade, substantially as shown and described.

2. The combination, in a shade-holder, of collar a, provided with pendent hooks b, and a tripod receiving the globe or shade and adapted, as described, for suspension by the hooks, substantially as shown and described.

JAMES SJCRA'ITON.
