LAMP-SHADE.
dtrdgttzxlt rama tu im ttm what what mit mating aut nf tigt am.
Be it known-that` I, S. W. HUNTINGTON, of Augusta-ih the county of Kennebec, and State of Maine, have invented a certain new and improved Iamp-Sbade; and I hereby declare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, which represents a perspective view of a lamp-shade made in. accordance with my invention, with one end broken away, so as to show the diilercnt materials which enter into the composition of the shade.
The object of my invention is to produce a lamp-shade which, while cheap and simple of construction, shall present a highly-ornamental appearance, and be, altogethenbetter and more lasting than ordinary paper shades.
To this end I make the shade of an outer layer'a, of veneer or extremelyvthin wood, which can be 'bent to any desired shape, and is quite as transparent as paper. The material I prefer to employ is that known as wood paper, which is now employed to some extent as a substitute of paper-'hangings for covering walls. To this thin sheet a', I apply a backing, b, of mica, and then bindthe edges of the two sheets firmly together by means of a metal rim, c. The mica not only constitutes a reiiecting surface, but serves to protect the wood from the e'ect of heat.
The lampfshade represented in the-drawing'is intended only as a partial shade, and is held to the lamp bymeans of a clasp similar to that for which If-have recently made application for Letters Patent. The combined wood and mica shade may, however, be male of any suitable form, so as to resemble ordinary square, Octagona-l, or round lamp-shades, which encircleI the lamp, the nature of the materials being such as to admit of their being bent to the required shape; and the shade may of course be formed either of panels` or of continuous v sheets of the mieaand wood.
As' thefwood paper and mica are both translucent, the Agrain of the wood is made perfectly apparent when the shade is applied` to a lamp, and it 'presents a highly-ornamental appearance, especially when ,the veneer is out from birds-eyc maple, or other irregularly-grained wood. When dark veneers, such' as walnut, mahogany, ttc., are employed, I prefer to insert; between the mica and wood a sheet of white paper, d, so as to cause the better reectionpof the'light; but this, however, is not absolutely necessary.
A shade made as above .indicated costs nearlyit' not quite twenty-'rive per cent. less Vthan paper shades ornameutedi'n the usual manner, andis ineoniparably superior to the latter, both in beauty and durability. The
tints of the shadea're well toned and subdued, and have none of the gaudy appearance lso noticeable and objec ti'onable in ornamented paper' shades.
The wood, if desired, 'can be oiled or varnished, and it may have impressed or painted upon it any suitable design, although, as above stated, the grain ofthe wood is'quite suiiic'ent as an ornament.
Having now described ,my invention, and the' manner in which 'the same is or mav be carried into effect, what I'claim,'anddes'ire to secure by Letters Patent, isi--` Asa new article of manufacture, a lamp-shade composed of a shcct oiwood or veneer, with abacking of mica-,the-two sheets being held together as herein described, with or without an interposed layer of paper between them. I l
' In testimony whereof, I have signed myname to this specication before two subscribing witnesses.
S. W. HUNTINGTON.
