WILLIAM W. ABBOTT, OF INGRAM, PENNSYLVANIA.-

GLOBE, SHADE, AND CHIMNEY HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 4, 1910.

Application filed April 6, 1910. Serial No. 553,752.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, WILLIAM W. ABBOTT, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Ingram, in the county of Allegheny' and State of Pennsylvania, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Globe, Shade, and Chimney Holders,-of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing. i

This invention relates to globe, shade and chimney holders, and, more particularly to that type of holder used in connection with electric lamps.

The object of my invention is to provide simple and effective means for attachinga globe or shade to a lamp socket-whereby the globe orshade can be easily and quickly removed. Y

I attain the above object by providing a holder that is applicable to various types of lamp sockets, the holder being simple in construction, durable, inexpensive to manufacture, free from injury by ordinary use, and provided with means to compensate for the expansion and contraction of a'shade or globe mounted in the holder. v I

'My invention will be hereinafter specifically described and then claimed, and reference will now be had to the drawing forming a part of this specificatiomwherein there are illustrated the preferred embodiments of the inventiombut it is to be understood'that the structural elements thereof can be varied or changed, as to the size, shape, and manner of assemblage without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

- In the drawing :--Figure 1 is a side eleva tion or a shade holder in accordance with my .invention, Fig. 2'is a horizontal sectional View "taken on' the line XX of Fig. 1,

showing the clasp of the holder in an open position, Fig. 3 is a'similar view showing the clasp in a closed position, Fig. 4 is'a perspective View of a portion of the. holder, showing the clasp in an open position, Fig. 5 is a similar view showing the clasp in a closed position, Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a ortion of the holder showing a modified orm of clasp in an open position, Fig. 7 is a perspective View of the clasp detache Fig. 8 is a perspective view of.a detached clasp, showing a modification of the same, Fig. 9 is' a side elevation of a modified form of holder, partly broken away and partly in section, Fig. 10 is a horizontal sectional ence numeral 1 denotes an electric light" socket having the lower end thereof pro vided with an annular bead or rim 2 and adapted to engage the upper edge of said bead or rim are inwardly projecting tits 3 carried by the upper cylindrical end 4 of'a dome shaped holder 5. The tits 3 are adapted to rest upon the bead or rimand are fur ther held in engagement therewith by a set screw 6 or other fastening means carried by the cylindrical end 4 of the holder.

The side walls of the dome shaped holder 5 are provided with circumferentially arranged openings 7 and the lower end of the holder is flared and terminates in a sleeve 8 having the lower edge thereof reamedor bent outwardly, as at 9. The sleeve 8 is cut and punched, as at 10 toprov-ide in gage the upper edges of the shade, globe or chimney 12. The sleeve 8 is further provided with an oblong opening 13 and with wardly projecting lugs 11 adapted to en asegmentshaped slot 14 in proximity to said opening. The material bordering upon the end of the opening 13 farthest away from the slot 14 is off-set, as .at- 15 to rovide clearance for theend 16 of a resillent clasp 17- adapted to project through the opening 13. The opposite end'of the clasp .17 is provided with a transverse head 18 having the lower end thereof engaging under the reamed or bent edgeof the sleeve 8, while the opposite end is off-set, as at 19 to extend through the segmentsshaped slot 14 and normally hold the head of theclasp in engagement with the sleeve 8. Inorder that the clasp can be easily moved, the head 18. is provided with a handle or hook- 20.

It is preferable to space the lugs 11 an equal distance apart and the opening 13 an eqlpal distance between two of said lugs, w ereby .a plurality of supporting points will be located within the sleeve 8 for the up or end of the shade, globe or chimney 12.

11 Figs. 6 and 7 of the drawing I have shown a slight modification of the invention,

wherein the end of the head 18 is bent downwardly, as at 21 to engage'the inner side of the. sleeve 8, while in F 1g. 8 the end 16 of the clasp 17 is bent upon tself, as at 22.

Another modificatlon of the invention is shown in Figs. 9 and 10 of the drawing,

wherein a band 23 is movably mounted upon the sleeve 8 and the band is cut and sheared,

as at 24 to provide a resilient clasp 25 adapted to extend through the openings 13 of the sleeve 8.-

The segment-shaped slot 14 is adapted to limit the movement of the resilient clasp,

and it is through the medium of, this clasp that a shade, globe or chimney can be easily, quickly and safely connected to the holder and supportedv in roximity to a lamp 26 mounted in thesoc et 1.

The'holder in its entirety is made of light and durable metal and parts thereof can be spun from brass or pressed from sheet metal. i I

Havingnow described my invention what i i I claim as new, 1s:-

1. A holder of thety e described comprising a, sleeve, inwar y-extending integral lugs carried bythe sleeve, and a shift-- able resilient clasp movably mounted against the outer face of the sleeve and havprising a sleeve provi ing a portion thereof extending-through and into the sleeve for clam ingthe article to be held to thelugs when the clasp is shifted in one direction. I

A holder of the t pe described comd ed with inwardlyextending lugs, and a shiftable resilient clasp mounted against'the outer face of the,

sleeve and inclu'din a head, said clasp having one end thereof extending through-and intothe' sleeve for clamping the article to be held to the lugs'when the-clasp is shifted in one direction and said head of the clasp having one end extending through the-sleeve.

3. A holder of the t'pe described comprising a sleeve ,provi ed with inwardlyextending In S, and a shiftable resilient clasp mounte against the .outer face of, the sleeve and includin a head, said clasp having one end thereof extending through and prising a sleeve provided with an opening and a slot, said sleeve further having inwardly projecting lugs, and a resilient clasp slidably. mounted upon the outer face of the sleeve andha'ving one end thereof projecting throu h saidv openings for clam ing the article to e held to the lugs when the clas is shifted in one direction, said clasp inclu ing a head having one end extending through said slot and its other end engaging in the sleeve.
