20 all whom it may concern:

Be lit known that I, ARTHUR EDWARD SMITHDA'LE, engineer, residing at Ade, Norfolk, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shade or Globe Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The method of securing shades or globes to inverted gas burners at present in use and of the type wherein upper flanged extremity of the shade or globe enters a cupshaped or hemispherical body wherein it is retained by set screws, is open to the grave disadvantage that when the shade or globe expands by heat and also the set screws (in the reverse direction or against the shade or globe) the latter is frequently cracked and rendered useless.

Now the object of the resent invention is to provide simple and e cient means whereby a shade or globe may be quickly and easily attached or detached and of such a nature as to allow for or counteract the expansion of the said shade or globe.

In order that this invention may be fully understood, it, will now be described with.

reference to the accompanying drawings in which I Figure 1 is e side elevation of p'art ot a burner having this invention applied time to, and Fig. 2 is a sectional plan taken on line a" w (Fig.1).

In carrying this invention into practical effect, and as shown, within the cup shaped or hemispherical body a a divided beam or ban-1 b of suitable flexible material is riveted or suitably secured as at 0 at a point approximately opposite its divided extremities which are bent outward at d at orabout right angles to the band Z) and passed through a slot or slots 0 formed in the side of the said body a. A series of apertures e is provided around the periphery of the cup a, at its" lower part, for the escape of the roducts of combustion, and the lugs (2 proect through two of these apertures. To these extremities (Z arms or,r ods are suitably secured, the arm or rod from one extremity. passing through a hole or perforation in the other extremity andvice versa so that by pressing these two arms f toget-her by gripping them between the thumb and finger, the ends of the band or rim 6 are forced apart, so expanding the said band or rim to admit of the globe or shade g (Fig. 1), which when the said arms are released, is gripped and held in position by the said band or rim 1). It is obvious that the means employed for expanding the said band or rim for releasing the globe or shade may be varied considerably without departing from the spirit of thisinfven-tion. v

l-Iaving now described my invention,what I claini'as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

in a shade'holder, the combination, with a supporting cup having lateral holes, of a spring loop secured to one side of the cupv
