APPLICATION FILED 00'1.31, 1907.
Patented Dec. 1, 1908.
A TTORNEYS- citizen of the United States,
county of Laclede and State partially or com letely held in the frame,
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LOUIS VERCOUTERE, a and a resident of Lebanon, in the of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Shades, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
e urpose of the invention is to provide a porta lz-le shade adapted for use in connection with lam s or lights of all kinds, and to so construct tl ie device that the curtains carried thereby are removable from their supports and can be quickly and. conveniently folded or partially or entirely sprea out upon said supports.
It is a further pur ose of the invention to so construct the sha e that the curtain supports have independent swinging and verti cal adjustment in the frame of the device, and maybe reversed when occasion may demand, so as to adapt the curtain as a screen to lights high or low and so as to deflect or interrupt the direct rays of light relatively to any material, object or work to be illuminated, to a greater or lesser extent.
It is another purpose of the invention to provide a construction-of frame wherein the curtain supports are not only adjustably but areretained in adjusted position without the aid of set screws or other devices adapted to be manually set.
The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of the'several parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth and pointed outin the claims.
Reference is to'be had to the accompanying drawings forminga part of this specification, which similar characters of reference indicate correspondingparts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is arperspective view of the improved shade showing one curtain stretched outto its full extent and the other curtain folded; Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional side elevation of the bracket portion of the frame of the device, illustrating the manner in which the curtain "supports are held .in adjusted position in the scale,.of one of the retaining mediums emframe; Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view drawn upon an enlarged ployed for the curtain supports; Fig. 4 is afront elevation of the ports being shown in a diflerent position than 1n Fig. 1; and Fig. 5
is a plan view of the shade, the curtain sup- Specification of Letters Patent. I Application filed October 31, 1907.
the corresponding apertures Patented Dec. 1, 1998. Serial No. 400,029.
device drawn upon a smaller scale and illus, tratin'ga slight departure in the shape of the curtain supports. represents a standard provided with a suitable base 10, and on said standard A a bracket is secured in any suitable or approved manner, and usually-this bracket is constructed as is illustrated, comprising an upper plate 11 and a lower parallel plate 12, each of which plates is provided between the standard and its ends with an aperture 13, in the two plates beingin vertical registry. In addition to the standard A and the bracket above referrred to, I employ one or more arms B supported bythe standard A, which arms B in their turn are adapted as supports for curtains C that may bem'ade from any desired material. 3 'The arms B are by preference angular in general formation, comprising a horizontal member 14, and a vertical member 15. The vertical members 15 of the arms are passed down through the apertu'res 13 in the plates 11. and 12 forming the bracket, and where the two members of an arm connect the. horizontal member 14 is somewhat arched at 16, so as not to have much bearing upon the outer edge is shown in Fig. 1, members 15 extend ownward through the said bracket and the members 14 of the arms out from the upper end portion thereof. Furthermore the outer ends 17 of the horizontal members 14 of the arms B, are more may be hinged upon the horizontal members 14 of their supportin arms B, in any suitable manner that W1 permit them to slide on the arms, although t e curtains if desired may be secured permanently in an open posit on on said arms. When the curtains are mounted to slide they.
are provided at their upper ends with hems 20, rings or the like.
It will be observed that the curtain supporting arms B may be swung forward or rearward and may be adjusted vertically, and one or both of the arms may be inverted, as is shown in Fig. 4. I employ no set screws ormanually operated retaming deof the upper plate 11,, as
articularly Whenthe with the which the light may the bracket plates 11 and 12, an
cessed end portions engage with the standard A, their outer or convexed portions engaging vertical members 15 of the aforesaid arms B, and when the members 15 of the arms B are inserted in the bracket, they place the retaining plates 18 under tension and serve in a most efiective manner to automatically hold the said arms B 1n any position to which they are capable of adjustment.
This device is exceedingly simple, and is well adapted for the purpose intended. It is obvious that the curtain supports B, in addition to being raised and lowered and reversed, may be swung forward or rearward at the convenience of the user, as has been stated, to obtain the proper shade relative to the studies or work in connection with be employed, and by reason of the said adjustment of the device it can be used in connection with lamps placed high or low, or can be used in connection with candles. The device is portable and independent of the lamp or other source of light, and therefore can be conveniently shifted as desired or carried from place to ace.
I desire it to be understoodthat I do not confine myself to any 1particular formation of the curtain supports as for example their upper members 14 may be curved as is .shown in Fig. 5 instead of being substantially straight as is illustrated in Figs. 1 and 4. Having thus described my invention, 1 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent,
1. A lampshade comprising a standard provided near its top wlth transverse parallel plates, provided in their ends with openings,
arms comprising a vertical member slidable through the openings,
and a horlzontal member for supporting the shade, and tension devices for retaining the arms in adjusted position, said devices comprising oppositely curved spring plates havin recesses in their ends for receiving the stan ard, and engaging the plates, the curved part of the spring engagin the arms.
2. A lamp s ade comprising a standard provided near its tophwith transverse parallel plates provided in t eir ends with openings, arms comprising a vertical member slidable through the openings, and a horizontal member for supporting the shade, and tension devices for retaining position, said devices comprising oppositely curved spring plates having recesses in the1r ends for receiving the standard, and engaging the plates, the curved part of the spring enga ing the arms, said arms having anupward y curved portion at the junction of the horizontal and vertical portions for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I have -signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
