LIGHTING-FIXTURE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Ma 16, 1911.
Application filed January 17, 1911:. Serial No,603,140.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LOUIS E. FITZSIMONS, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Waterbury, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lighting-Fixtures, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements 1n lighting fixtures and particularly to holders for shades and globes for inverted incandescent gas mantle lights. It is customary to -provide globes in such constructions for shielding the mantle and a shade for reflecting or difiusing the light. These shades and globes accumulate more or less dirt and have to be cleaned and are often broken and have to be replaced.
It is my object to so simplify and arrange the parts that they may be assembled and purpose of cleaning and replacement. a
I utilize a shade having a neck with sloping surfaces and adapted to be secured to a suitable type of shade holder by means for instance of set screws. The globe is pro vided with a flange and a holdersecured to the globe which is adapted to be readily intive'view of the globe holder. Fig, 3, is a fragmentary vertical section and side elevation showing'the globe and its holder about to be assembled or separated from the shade.
The burner tube 1 is provided with a suitable burner (not shown herein) and a mantle such as 2.
A suitable form of shade holder, such as 3, is provided, secured to the burner tube and having a series of cla-mping devices such as the set screws 4, 4. The shade 5 is secured to the shade holder 3 and the globe 6 is supported inside the shade. The shadehas an outwardly flaring neck 7 adapted to be engaged by the set screws 4, 4; for holding the shade in place.
The lobe 6 has a flange at its upper end of smafi consisting of -a ring 9 and a series of spring fingers. The ends of the strip forming the ring may be secured together in any suitable manner for instance by means of a link 10. Each finger has an outwardly flaring portion 11 and an inwardly flaring portion 12 forming recesses in their rear corresponding to the-flange 8 of the globe 6., The fingers maybe. snapped into place over the flange 8. Each finger is formed at its tip so that the globe and its holder may be readily inserted into the shade or withdrawn therefrom. an inclined surface 13 on which the outer upper tip let of each finger slides in assembling theparts. Each finger also has a downwardly facing shoulder 15 adapted to slide on the surface 16 of the neck in taking out the globe and holder. The shoulders 12, 12 securely hold the holder on the globe. The spring fingers yieldingly hold the globe in the shade. The parts are so yieldingly held however that the globe and its holder may be readily withdrawn when desired and the holder may be removed from the globe. Theglobe and its holder may be readilyattac ed or d tached without disturbing the she. e or ts older. v
hat T a mm is I 1. In a construction of the character described, the combination with a shade open at the bottom and having a flaring flange at the top, of a globe closed at the bottom and having a flange at the top and a holder having a ring portion encircling the globe be-' neath its flange and having outwardly and upwardly extending spring fingers supported by the flaring flange at the top of the For this purpose the shade has shadebut adapted to be disengaged by a said flange and having their upper outer' ends'adapted to engage in the neck of a I shade.
3. In a construction of the character described, a globe having a flaring flange and a holder consistingof a ring surrounding the globe beneath the flange and having spring fingerswith recesses for the flange and hav- 'ing their u per outer ends adapted. to enwardly facing bearing shoulders 15, 15 subgage in the neck of a shade. stantially as described and forthe purpose 4;.
