Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 10, 1907.
Application filed September 15. 1906- Serial No. 334.803.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, CHARLES E. THROOP and SAMUEL A. FREEMAN, citizens of the United States, and residents of Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Electric-Lamp Holders, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to holders for electric lamps and has the object to provide a holder for this purpose which is simple and durable in construction, which can be manufactured at low cost and which is provided with efficient and reliable means whereby the same may be lengthened or shortened and also turned bodily for bringing the lamp into the required position.
In the accompanying drawings consisting of 2 sheets: Figure 1 is a side elevation of an electric lamp holder embodying our improvements. Fig. 2 is a side elevation, on an enlarged scale, of the upper universal joint of the holder viewed in the same direction as F 1. Fig. 3 is a similar view of the same viewed at right angles to Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 4 is a fragmentary vertical section in line 44, Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a horizontal section in line 55, Fig. 2. Fi 6 is a perspective view of one of the coupling sections of the universal joints. Fig. 7 is a similar view of one of the jaws or arms of the universal joints. Fig. 8 is a fragmentary side elevation, on an enlarged scale, of the lower part of the lamp holder viewed at right angles to Fig. 1. Fig. 9 is a longitudinal section, on an enlarged scale, of the lower part of the holder. Fig. 10 is a transverse section in line l010, Fig. 9.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The body of the lamp holder comprises two supporting bars A, A of wood or other material one of which is mounted on a support B and the other carryin an electric lamp C and which are capable of sliding lengthwise one on the other in the manner of a telescopic joint for the purpose of lengthening or shortening the holder.
The preferred means of slidingly connecting the body bars shown in the drawings, as an example, consists in overlapping the inner opposing ends of the body bars and providing the inner end of each bar with a guide loop (1 which receives the adjacent por tion of the other bar.
For the purpose of holding the body bars in their adjusted position, a frictional clamp is provided which is constructed as follows and shown in Figs. 1, 9 and 10:E represents a bow-shaped clamping spring which is arranged in a recess 6 in the inner face of one of the bars and bears at the central part of its convex side against the opposing inner face of the other bar. The clamping spring is confined against lengthwise movement in the recess by engaging its ends with opposite ends of the recess. One end of the clamping spring rests against the bottom of the recess e while its other end rests on theinner end of an adjusting screw F which works in a screw nut f seated in the recess 6. Upon tightening the screw F more or less the tension of the spring E may be varied so as to increase or decrease the frictional contact of the spring with the opposing bar to suit the requirements.
At its upper end the upper bar A is connected with the support B by a universal joint which is preferably constructed as follows: G, G represent the two sections of a hollow coupling head or swiveling block, each section consisting of two flanges, wings or walls g, g arranged at right angles to each other and preferably constructed integrally of sheet metal. Two of these angular sec tions abut or fit against each other at their longitudinal edges and are held against lengthwise displacement relatively to each other by a tongue h on the longitudinal edge of one section interlocking or engaging with the recess h on the corresponding edge of the other section forming a box-shaped coupling head. Each coupling section is provided in one of its walls or wings with an opening i and in its other wall with an opening t said openings being lengthwise out of line and adapted to cooperate with similar openings in the other section of the coupling head or block.
' J represents a base plate or'bracket secured to the support B by screws 7' or otherwise and provided with two depending arms or jaws 1c, 7r which are arranged on opposite sides of the swivel block and are pivotally secured thereto by a horizontal bolt L passing transversely through the companion openings 71 of the swivel block sections and through openings in the bracket arms, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 5.
The upper end of the upper body bar A is provided with two arms or jaws M, M which are arranged on opposite sides of the swiveling block and pivotally connected therewith by a horizontal bolt m passing transversely through the companion lower openings i of the swivel block and through openings in the arms M, M. By turning the body bars on the lower bolt m and the swiveling block on the bolt L which is arranged at right angles to the bolt m the lamp carried by the bars may be moved up and down in any direction relatively to the supporting point of the bars.
The frictional engagement of the arms of the bracket and upper bar with the outer side of the swivel block operates to hold the lamp in place Without the aid of other devices if the bars are not shifted laterally and upward from a vertical pendent position to a position which is at a considerable angle to the vertical position. When however the bars are moved laterally and upwardly at a considerable angle, it requires more friction to hold the bars in position and additional means are therefore provided which cause an increase in the frictional contact between the swivel arms and block of the upper universal joint as the bars are raised into a horizontal position or considerably out of a vertical position. The preferred means for this purpose shown in the drawings are constructed as follows: The outer side of one wall of each pair through which a swivel bolt passes is provided with one or more cam faces or inclines n which cooperate with corresponding inclines or cams 0 on the opposing inner side of the adjacent swivel arm. The companion cams or inclines are firmly pressed together by a spiral spring p which surrounds the respective swivel bolt and bears at one end against a shoulder formed at the outer end of said bolt by its nut or head while its opposite end bears against the outer side-of the swivel arm having the in clines or cams. The relation of the cooperating inclines around the swivel bolts L and m is such that when the body bars are in a vertical pendent position the low part of each cam or incline is arranged opposite the high part of its companion cam or incline, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 8,- whereby the cam swivel arms are permitted to approach most closely to the swivel block and consequently producing only a moderate frictional contact between these parts. Upon raising the bars so that the same approach more or less nearly a horizontal position the cooperating cams move so that the high part of one cam approaches the high part of its companion cam, thereby causing an increase in the friction contact between the same and enabling the bars to be held reliably in this position. When the bars are raised about the bolt m as a pivot only the set of cams or inclines around this bolt come into action and when the bars are raised about the bolt L then only the set of cams or inclines around the latter come in play but when the bars are raised at such an angle that they turn partly about both of these bolts then both sets of cams operate together. The cams n, 0, as shown, are formed by stamping or pressing the same out of the stock of the metal arms and walls which carry the same but if desired the same may be otherwise constructed.
The lamp is connected with the lower end of the lower body bar by a universal joint which is constructed as follows: Q represents a swivel block or coupling head which is constructed in all respects like the swivel block of the upper universal joint and the same description will therefore apply to both. R, R represent a pair of inner swivel arms secured to the lower end of the lower bar and. arranged on opposite sides of the lower swivel block. r is a transverse swivel bolt'whereby the inner swivel arms R are pivotally connected with the upper part of the lower swivel block. S, S represent two outer swivel arms which have their upper ends arranged on opposite sides of the lower swivel block and pivotally secured thereto by a swivel bolt 8 which is arranged at right angles to the bolt 1'. The lower ends of the arms S, S are constructed in the form of clamps or jaws t, t which are drawn against opposite sides of the neck of the lamp C by a transverse bolt a connecting said arms below the lower swivel head. One of the arms R is provided with cams or inclines 4) around its bolt 7 which are pressed by a spring 12 against corresponding cams v on the adjacent wall of the lower swivel head and one of the arms S is provided around its bolt 8 with cams to which are pressed by a spring w against corresponding cams or inclines 10 on the adjacent wall of the lower swivel block. By this means the lamp when turned upwardly so that the weight is more or less nearly horizontally opposite the lower swivel block, the friction in this universal joint will be increased accordingly for holding the lamp reliably in position.
