No. 430,557 3 Claims. (Cl. 240-81) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A head for a portable miniature desk lamp, said head having a hollow tapered casing closed at its narrow end and serving as a lampshade. The casing has a reflecting inner surface. Means is provided for mounting a lamp bulb on the closed end inside the casing, and means is provided for connecting the lamp bulb to a source of electric motive force. A separate reflector device is supported by the neck of the lamp bulb.
This invention relates to the art of miniature projection lamps and more particularly concerns a transformerless projection lamp having novel heat and light reflecflection means.
Conventional projection lamps of the miniature type employ electric bulbs operating on twelve volts A.C. In order to operate such an electric bulb from 115-volts A.C. means a step-down transformer is installed in the base of the lamp. This transformer is objectionable for numbers of reasons. It adds to the cost of manufacture and to the weight of the lamp. The transformer heats up with continued use and wastes power. If it overheats it burns the table or desk top on which it rests causing serious damage to furniture. The transformer may burn out itself, making a costly replacement necessary. The transformer hums while the lamp is lightedwhich is objectionable. The lamp base must be made more massive than is otherwise necessary to accommodate the transformer.
The present invention is directed at overcoming the above and other difficulties and disadvantages in miniature projection lamps by providing an improved transformerless portable lamp.
An incandescent lamp bulb having a high light emission intensity also has a high level of heat dissipation. This heat must be safely conducted away from the lamp while it is in continuous operation. The problem of heat dissipation is especially severe when the lamp bulb is installed in a small lamp shade which is comparable in size with the lamp bulb itself. In the present invention this problem is solved by a novel construction of the base of the lamp bulb and by a novel construction of the internal reflector of the lamp.
One object of the invention is to provide a miniature portable projection lamp having a head in which is a lamp bulb having a miniature basesurrounded by a reflector and supported in a socket carried by a parabolic perforated lamp shade.
Another object is to provide a miniature projection lamp as described wherein the internal reflector is spaced radially from the shade to provide a path for heat to escape through perforations in the shade.
A further object is to provide a lamp as described wherein the reflector includes a conical member inside the shade.
Still another object is to provide a lamp as described wherein the reflector includes a threaded bushing which receives the base of the lamp and which screws into the socket.
A further object is to provide a miniature projection lamp having a miniature base supported in a socket mounted in an insulated holder, the insulated holder Patented June 11, 1968 being carried by a parabolic perforated lamp shade, with an internal reflector carried by the lamp shade and surrounding the lamp and holder.
Another object is to provide a miniature projection lamp with a lamp shade surrounded by a woven wicker heat shield.
Another object is to provide a miniature projection lamp having a miniature base supported in a socket mounted in an insulated holder, the lamp being surrounded by a reflector secured to the insulated holder, with a parabolic perforated lamp shade surrounding the insulated holder, lamp and reflector and engaged with the insulated holder.
Another object is to provide a miniature lamp having an insulated base portion with a reflector surrounding the lamp and secured to the insulated base portion.
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

Referring first to FIGS. 1-4, there is shown a miniature, portable, table or desk lamp 10 including a base 12, a conduit 14 such as a flexible 'gooseneck, and lamp head 15. The base includes a frustoconical shell 15 with closed top and open bottom. A massive circular base plate 18 is held in the wide open end of the shell by screws 19. In one side of the shell 16 is a hole 17 in which is mounted a switch 20 having an operating knob 21. At the opposite side of the shell is a hole 23 in which is a grommet 24 through which passes a power cord 25 having two wires 26, 27. The power cord terminates outside the the base in a plug 28 which can be inserted into a suitable ll0-220 volts power supply.
One wire 26 is connected to the switch 20. The other wire 27 along with wire 29 from the switch extends through hole 13 and the gooseneck 14. The gooseneck extends below flange 39 through a hole 31 in the top of the base. The bottom end 33 of the gooseneck is threaded. A smooth bottom plate 34 is engaged under plate 18 by a nut 32 on end 33 of the gooseneck. Nut 32 is set in a recess 35 in plate 34.
The lamp head 15 has an outer parabolic shade which has a closed narrower end 42 and a wider open end 43. The upper flanged end 14 of the gooseneck is connected to the side wall of the shade by a nut 41 which engages the end of the gooseneck extending through hole 44 in the shade. In the end 42 of the shade 40 is a central hole 45 through which extends a threaded bolt 46 se cured to the upper end of a generally cylindrical insulated socket 48. An elongated nut 50 with a threaded recess 51 at one end engages the bolt and holds the socket securely in the shade.
The lamp bulb is located forwardly of the socket near the open end of the shade. The internal surface S of the shade is aluminized, or coated with a highly polished material which is a good reflector of both light and heat rays. The lamp bulb base has a cylindrical shoulder 60 located just above the neck 61 of the bulb, and below the threaded plug portion 57. On this shoulder fits frictionally the cylindrical neck 62 of a reflector 65. Neck 62 is lined with insulation as indicated at 63. The reflector has a circular portion 66 which extends radially outward of the neck 62. A narrow cylindrical flange or skirt 64 is formed at the outer periphery of circular portion 66. The inner surface S of the reflector is highly polished, aluminized, painted white or otherwise treated to be a good reflector of light and heat rays. The diameter of the reflector is slightly less than the internal diameter of the shade 40 at the point where the reflector is located axially of the shade. The space between the reflector and shade constitutes a cylindrical path P all around the reflector between the reflector and the lamp shade. Heated air can pass through path P upwardly in the shade to leave by holes 70 spaced circumferentially around the shade near its end 42. The heated air can also pass out of holes 72 disposed in a circle in the end 42 of the shade, around the nut 50.
FIG. 4A shows the electric circuit C of the lamp. The lamp bulb 55 is connected in series with switch 20, power cord 25 and plug 28.
During operation of the lamp 10, air heated by the lamp bulb, air heated by heat reflected from the surface S of the reflector 65 and air heated by heat rays reflected from surface S of the shade 40 pass upwardly by convection through the cylindrical path P and out of the shade through holes 76 and 72. A certain amount of heat is also conducted away from the heated shade by air surrounding the shade. In any event the light re- .4 flected from the reflector surface S along with light reflected from surface S of the shade pass out of the open end of the shade along with light radiated directly outward by the lamp bulb. Since part of the heat generated along with the light passes upwardly of the shade opposite to the direction along which the light is projected, the light is accompanied by less heat than if no reflection means were provided. The lamp base provides a convenient support for the internal reflector. The short skirt 64 of the reflector insures that no light passes rearwardly of the reflector while heated air can pass rearwardly through the path P.
In FIG. 5 is shown a lamp head 15a which is identical to lamp head 15 and corresponding parts are numbered alike. Shade 40a may extend diflerent distances from the lamp bulb 55. The reflector 65a has an axially elongated skirt 64a which extends down to the open end of the shade; see FIG. 5. A cylindrical passage P is provided around the skirt 64a for passing heated air upwardly to holes 70, 72 in the shade. Holes 73 are provided in the circular end 66a of the reflector and holes 74 are provided in the skirt 64a near end 66a to pass heated air outwardly and upwardly of the reflector opposite to the direction of light projection. The skirt 64a is generally conical or flaring in shape. The internal surface S" of the reflector 65a is highly polished to reflect light and heat rays with maximum eificiency. Since a draft of air enters the end E of path P heat rays projecting forwardly will heat this air so that a good deal of heat will pass up through the shade and out through holes 70, 72 and will not be projected forwardly. The lamp 10a thus projects less than conventional lamps without such a reflector.
'In FIGS. 7-9 is shown a lamp head 15b in which re flector 65b is an electrically conductive member with a threaded bushing 75 extending upwardly from the cylindrical neck 62b. This bushing screws into the threaded recess 53a in insulated socket 48a. The threaded plug portion 57 of the lamp base screws into the bushing 75. The shoulder 60 of the lamp bulb seats in the neck 62b. Contact member 52a in the socket contacts bushing 75. Contact member 54a contacts the central terminal 59 of the lamp bulb. The wires 27' and 29 connected to the contact members pass out of the socket through a threaded fitting 46a at the upper end of the socket. Nut 50a engages this threaded fitting on top of reflector 40b. On top of the nut are two apertured ears 76 which engage apertured ears 77 extending from the end of gooseneck 14a. The head 15b is pivotable on a screw engaging the ears 76, 77. Screw 80 is engaged by a nut 81. A highly polished internally reflecting flaring liner 79 is frictionally fitted inside shade 40b and terminates just short of reflector 65b. This liner is a very efficient reflector of light and heat rays. Other parts corresponding to those of lamp heads 15 and 15a are identically numbered.
In FIG. 10 is shown another reflector 650 which is similar to reflectors 65a and 65b and corresponding parts are identically numbered. Reflector 65:: has an axially elongated skirt 640 which has a highly reflective internal surface S" and is provided with hot air releasing holes 73, 74 as in reflector 65a. Reflector 650 has a threaded bushing 75' like bushing 75 of reflector 65b. The elongated skirt 640 of the reflector will serve like skirt 64a to reflect light and heat, but a considerable part of the heat will be used to heat the air passing through the reflector and around the reflector in passage P between the reflector and shade 400.
In FIG. 11, lamp head 15d includes parabolic lamp shade 40d supported by conduit 14. The narrower end 42 of the lamp shade supports insulated socket 48b. This socket has a step 80 out of which extend wires 81, 82. Wire 81 terminates at a central terminal 83 in cavity 84. Wire 82 terminates at bushing 75d in cavity 84 spaced from the central terminal; see FIG. 12. The narrow threaded plug portion 57 of the lamp bulb 55a screws into the bushing. Nut engages bolt 46 and holds the socket and lamp bulb axially centered inside the lamp shade. Reflector d as best shown in FIGS. 11 and 13 has a tapered generally parabolic skirt 64d depending from prongs struck out of the upper end of the refiector and extending radially outward. Ends 86 of the prongs are bent downwardly and frictionally engage the inner side of shade 40d. The prongs hold the reflector in spaced concentric radially spaced from the shade to define a path P1 for heated air around the reflector to the chamber C1 from which heated air passes out of holes '70 and 72 in the side and end of the lamp shade. A hole 88 is centrally formed in the end 66d of the reflector. The socket 48b receives the end 66d of the reflector with the rim of hole 88 engaging frictionally around the socket just above annular step 90, which prevents the reflector from coming ofi the tapered body of the socket. Heated air passing directly upward from the lamp bulb 55a passes through holes 73 at end 66d of the reflector and through lateral holes 74, 74' in the upper end of skirt 64d. Pins 100 are secured to the shell 114 near its upper end. (see FIG. 16-.)
Lamp head 15c (FIG. 14) is similar to lamp head 15d and corresponding parts are identically numbered. Parabolic reflector 65e is formed with a neck 62s on end ride. The neck fits on the enlarged base portion 92 of the socket 48b in the tight frictional engagement.
In FIG. 15 is shown a lamp head 15f which may employ any of the parabolic lamp shades 40-4001 and reflectors 65a-65e heretofore described. Here lampshade 402 is enclosed in a woven wicker tube 95 which is open at bottom and top ends. The tube serves as a heat shield to prevent contact between a persons hand and the heated lampshade. A lateral opening 96 in the tube permits conduit 14 or a bar 14 to be attached to the lampshade. A clamp having two arcuate spring fingers 98 can be secured to the outer end of bar 14'. A wing screw 99 may be engaged near the attached ends of the clamp fingers to enable the tension in the clamp to be adjusted when the clamp is engaged on a suitable support.
FIGS. 16, 17 and 18 show another socket 48c which is similar to socket 48b and corresponding parts are identically numbered. The socket has a cavity 84' adapted to receive bayonet pins 100 extending radially outward of the cylindrical base end 102 of lamp bulb 104. Opposed axially extending slots 105 are formed in the inner Wall of the socket. These slots communicated with short cireumferentially extending slots 106. Thus the bayonet end of the lamp bulb can be inserted axially and then turned circumferentiall to lock the base end of the lamp bulb in the socket.
The base end of the lamp bulb includes a generally cylindrical insulator 108 through which pass wires 110 from the lamp filament 112; see FIG. 18. Around the insulator is secured a generally cylindrical metal shell 114. The shell terminates at its upper end short of the upper end of the insulator where terminals 115 of the lamp wires are exposed. The terminals 115 contact the bent ends of spring fingers 118 exposed in cavity 84 of the socket. Upper ends of the spring fingers are connected to ends of wires 81', 82 embedded in the upper end of the socket.
The lower end of the shell 114 is formed with an annular flange 120 inside which is secured by welding or otherwise neck 122 formed at the upper end end of reflector 657. The reflector is thus secured to and forms a fixed part of lamp bulb 104. The reflector has a short depending annular skirt 64 like that of reflector 65 shown in lamp 10. Stem 121 of the lamp bulb is embedded in the lower part of insulator 108.
Lamp bulb 104a (FIG. 10) has a bayonet end 102 which is like that of lamp bulb 104 in FIG. 18. This bayonet end can fit into socket 48c. Shell 114a surrounding insulator 108 is cylindrical at its lower end, and the neck 122a of reflector 65g is secured around the lower end of the insulator. Other parts corresponding to those of lamp bulb 104 are identically numbered.
Lamp bulb 130' shown in FIG. 21 has an annular flange 132 formed at the lower end of threaded plug portion 57b. This flange surrounds insulator ring 126'. The neck 1220 of reflector 65 surrounds the neck 127 of the bulb. The inner side of the ring 126 is secured to neck 122c.
By the arrangements shown in each of FIGS. 16-19, the reflector is insulated electrically from wires in the base end of the lamp bulb. In the arrangements of FIGS. 20 and 21 the reflector is eflectively insulated electrically from the metal screw plug portion of the lamp bulb.
In all forms of invention described, the lamp bulb is energized directly from the high voltage power supply mains, without requiring use of a local transformer in the base of the lamp. The lamp heads use the internal reflectors to project reflected light forwardly while passing air heated by absorbed and reflected heat rearwardly. Thus substantially full utilization of all light generated by the lamp is obtained while the heat is dissipated safely and efficiently. If desired, the switch 20 in lamp 10 can be mounted on the shade of the lamp instead of on the base.
While we have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of our invention, it is to be understood that we do not limit ourselves to the precise constructions herein disclosed and that various changes and modifications may be made within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
