LAMP AND LAMP-SHADE.
S'PECI-FI CTATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 320,424, dated June 16, 1885.
Application filed September 19, 1884. (N model.)
- To alt whom. it may concern:
Be it known that'l, GEORGE 'W. Woon- WARD,of Brooklyn, in Kings county and-the State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Lamps and Lamp-Shades, of which the following is a specification.
I will describe a lamp and lamp-shade embodying my improvement and then point out the improvement in claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side view of a lamp embodying my improvement. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the lower portion of the same. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section of the shade taken on the dotted line .1: m, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a detail view illustratin g the manner in which sections of the shade are secured together and the means whereby ornamental pendants are fastened to the shade.
Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures.
A designates an oil-reservoir, which preferably will be made of glass. It is provided with a mouth, a, through which oil may be introduced, and into which a burner may be fastened.
The reservoir A is inserted into a holder, B. I have shown this holder as made of sheet metal-such, for instance, as brassand in two separable portions. The lower portion is of a shape and size suitable for receiving the reservoir snugly within it. The upper portion is of such construction that it will lap over the lower part and cover the reservoir.
The reservoir holder is secured to suspenders 0, whereby it is supported. These suspenders, as here shown, are composed of telescopic sections, and are made of metal-such, for instance, as brass. Their upper sections, b, are shown as tubular and connected to the upper portion of a shade, D. Their lower sections, 7), are connected to the reservoir-holder by screw-threaded nippers b passing through lugs b extending from the lower part of the reservoir-holder and entering tapped holes in the said lugs. The lower sections of the suspenders fit into the upper, and are free to slide vertically therein. The upper sections are shown as externally tapered and screw-threaded at the lower end. They are split at the extreme end. Nuts 12 are applied to the screwthreaded and split portion, and may be manipulated tocause the upper sections to relax or increase their hold on the lower sections. I thus provide for lowering or raising the reservoir-holder relatively to the shade.
In lieu of making the upper sections as described, they may be provided with sockets and set-screws for receiving and securing the lower sections.
In order to prevent the sections 1) of the PATENT OFFICE.
suspenders from slipping wholly out of the sections 1), I have shown the portions of the sections 1) which are within the sections has provided with upwardly-extending portions I. These portions Z are provided near their free ends with tapped holesadapted to receive the screw-threaded ends of thumb-screws m, the shanks of which extend through longitudinalextending slots in the sections b of the suspenders. The lower ends of the slots 70 act as stops to limit the downward movement of the sections 1) when the latter shall have been moved down far enough to bring the shanks of the thumb-screws m into contact therewith.
The shade D is made of sheet metal. It may be made, for example, of sheet-brass, or even of a baser metal. In the latter case it will be more desirable to plate it for the purpose of enhancing its appearance.
In this example of my improvement the shade is composed of a number of sections, 0, severally having at one longitudinal edge a bead or rib, c, and at the other longitudinal edge a groove or bent-over rim, c 0 of each section 0 laps or fits over the bead or rib c of the section 0 adjacent to it. The beads or ribs and the rims of the shade-sections preferably will not extend tothe extreme top and bottom edges, but at these points the sections will be made comparatively flat. Rivets, bolts, or screws d secure the shadesections together at or near the upper edge, and similar devices, d, secure the sections together at or near the lower edge. The upper edge of the shadesections is shown as turned up, so as to form a rimlike portion, 0 The lower edge of the shade-sectionsis shown as scalloped, although it may be of any configuration. Between the top andbottom edges the shadesections are embossed or corrugated. This ornamentation may, however, be omitted or varied, according to taste. The
The rim rivets, bolts, or screws (1 may have ornamental heads, or they can fasten ornamental buttons to the shade. The rivets, bolts, or screws d preferably have ornamental heads or secure ornamental buttons to the shade. I have shown them as securing thereto ornamental buttons or rosettes (1 These have attached to them pendants d Colored-glass, ornaments, or other ornaments, d may be secured to the shade between the rosettes d by rivets, belts, or screws. In such case pendants 01 may be fastened to them. The suspenders O are secured to the shade by rivets, bolts, or screws passing through them and the shade. The construction of the suspenders which admits of the adjustability of the reservoir-holder is important, as it affords provision' for raising or lowering the burner to bring its tip into the proper position, no matter what the height of the burner may be. It also onables the burner to be lowered so that the pendants will not materially interfere with access to it.
E designates chains fastened to the shade near its upper edge by hooks or other Suitable eontrivances, passing thence over pulleys e in a hanger, I and thence down to a counterbalance-weight. A smoke-bell may be 811.
pended from the counterbalance-weight.
Gr designates a crown, which may be used on the shade. Preferably, it will be made of sheet metal.
The shade is light, cheap, and durable, and it is so highly ornamental as to materially enhance the appearance of any lamp upon which it may be used.
I may provide an eye, f, upon the bottom of the reservoir-holder, to facilitate pulling it down.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination, with a shade and reservoir-holder, of extensible and contractiblc suspenders extending from the shade to the reservoir-holder, substantially as specified.
' 2. The combination of a reservoir-holder, a metal shade, suspenders extending from the metal shade to the reservoir-holder, and chains or suspending devices connected to the shade, substantially as specified.
3. The combination, with a shade composed of sections, of rivets, bolts, or screws uniting them together, and ornaments fastened to the shade by the rivets, bolts, or screws, which unite the sections of the shade, substantially as spe ifie GEQBGE W. WOODWARD.
