UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
FREDERICK ADAMS, OF ALLEGHENY, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO THE PITTSBURG BRASS COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.
SHADE-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 482,887, dated September 20, 1892.
Application filed December 22, 1891. Serial No. 415,834. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FREDERICK ADAMS, of Allegheny city, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Shade-Holders, of which the following is a specification.
My improvement relates to shade-holders ot' the kind which are commonly used in connection with lamps for supporting shades.
The object of the improvement is to provide a shade-holder of simple construction, which may be readily taken to pieces to facilitate packing and yet may have its parts quickly and effectively recombined for use.
I will describe a shade-holder embodying my improvement, and then point out the novel features in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of ashade-holder embodying my improvement. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one of its arms detached. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of another of its arms detached. Fig. 4 is a vertical section at the plane of the dotted line 4 4, Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a horizontal section at the plane of the dotted line 5 5, Fig. 4:.
Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures.
A designates a crown-like part. B B designate arms attached thereto. The crownlike part is ring-shaped, and, as shown, consists of two reversely-fiaring portions a a, meeting at their smallest diameters. These may be made separately of sheet metal and united by seaming or in any other suitable manner.
The lower portion a of the part A is provided with a number of sockets a a which are severally formed by bending down or depressing the metal on the under side, so that it will project below the general line of the under surface of its flaring portion a, and cutting an opening at the top of the socket so formed. The sockets o a are precisely the same in construction, except that they are of difierent sizes. All the arms are shown as being made of bent wire. Each has an upper portion b, a portion 12' bent upwardly parallel to and close beside the portion b, and a portionb bent downwardly parallel with, but a short distance from the portion 1). The portion Z) and the contiguous part of the portion 5 of each arm forms a tongue, which may be slipped into one of the sockets a 06. The tongues of the arms 13' are narrower than those of the arms B and are adapted to fit in the sockets a while the tongues of the arms B are constructed to tit in the sockets a of the part A. By this construction I provide against error in placing the arms when the holder is put together for use. The arms may be engaged and disengaged from the r sockets in the part A by moving them longitudinally, so as to introduce their tongues into or remove them from the sockets.
The arms B in the present instance extend upwardly and have hooks adapting them to engage with the upper edge of the chimney, so as to support the shade-holder thereon, while the arms B have downwardly-extending upper ends for bearing against the outside of the chimney to maintain the shadeholder in proper relation thereto.
It will be seen that by my invention I provide a very simple and efficient shade-holder which may have its parts readily separated and connected.
It is not essential that the sockets should be formed integral with the part A.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a shade-holder, the combination of a ring-shaped part having an outwardly-flaring lower portion provided with sockets, which are extended away from said part and provided with openings at the top and arms having tongues formed therein for removably engaging in said sockets, the said sockets belng alternately large and small, and the said tongues being made to correspond, substantially as specified.
2. In a shade-holder, the combination, with a ring-shaped part having an outwardly flaring lower portion provided with sockets, of arms having downwardly-extending tongues for removably engaging with said sockets, and portions extending above the sockets, substantially as specified.
3. In a shade-holder, the combination, with a ring-shaped part having an outwardly fiar- In testimony whereof, have signed my ing lower portion provided with sockets, of name to this specification 1n the presence of arms formed of Wire having portions 1) b N, two subscribing wltnesses.
the portions b I) being close together a short FREDERICK ADAMS. distance from the portion 12 forming tongues Witnesses: parallel with the portions 6 for engaging with H. RIDDELL,
said sockets, substantially as specified. I A. (J. LEHMAN.
