Description
UNITED I STATES PATENT OEEICE.
i CHRISTIAN REICHMAN, OF PHILADELPHIA; PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO GUSTAV VEDEKIND, OF SAME PLACE.
IMPR'OVED CLASP FOR LAM P-SHADES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 34,332, datedFebi-uary 4, 1862.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, CHRISTIAN REICHMAN,4
of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Clasp forLampShades; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,-clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the 4letters of reference marked thereon.
My invention relates to an improvement in the construction of metal clasps for attaching shades to the glass chimneys of lamps; and my improvement consists of a metal rib having lips for attachment to the shade, the said lips being formed by cutting the lower portion of the said ring, on the inside of which are any suitable number of springs for bearing against the chimney and maintaining the clasp in its proper position thereon, the Whole being constructed and arranged substantially as described hereinafter, and formingacheap, simple, and efficient clasp for the purpose desired.
In order to enable others to malte and use my invent-ion, I will now proceed to describe the manner in which itis constructed and applied.
On reference tothe accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specilication, Figures l and 2 are sectionalviews of my improved clasp for lamp-shades; Figr, an inverted plan View; Fig. 4,a portion of the strip 'of metal as it appears prior to being formedinto the desired clasp; and Figs. 5 and 6, sectional views of the clasp, illustrating the manner of securing it to the shade.
Similarl letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
I: first cnt a strip of thin brass or other metal ef a wid th suiiicient for the depth of the desired clasp and long enough to form a ring of the required diameter. The upper edge of the strip may be so cut as to form the scalloped ornament, (seen in Fig. 4,) vor it'may be otherwise ornament-ed by stamping, embossing, dac. The strip is cut at regular intervals throughout its entire length, and in depth Aand pressed tight against th from the point :r to the lower edge y, the cuts being represented by the lines d and c, which thus form a series of `li ps f and 71,. The strip is now bent and its opposite ends riveted, soldered, Vor otherwise secured together, so' as to form the ring D. (Shown inFig. 3.) After this the lips are bent outward to an angle corresponding With that of the shade A, the lips h being in the 'first instance bent slightly in- Ward, so that the ring may rest on the upper edge of vthe shade in the position shown by Figr,l after which the lipsf a e bent outward inside of the shade, which is now securely clasped between the lips fand h, as seen in Figs. 2 and o'. To
the inside of the ring arel secured three bent strips of metal, the upper ends of these strips forming the springs m in and the lower ends forming the springs n' n, these springs being so bent that all six will bear against the glass chimney and serve to maintain the ring, and with it the shade, atits proper altitude on and concentric with the said chimney, Yas seen in Fig. 2.
'lhe ring D may be made from a flat disk er plate by the process known as spinning ltwill be evident without further description that my improved clasp 1s cheap and simple as regards construction and that it effectually accomplishes the desired end.
' I claim as my invention and desire to secn re by Let-ters Patent- The clasp composed of the metal ring D,
having lips fand h, formed by cutting the- CHRISTIAN REICHMAN.
