DESIGN FOR A LAMP SHADE R REFLECTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No.v 32,685, dated May 22, 1900.

Ap'pllcatlon filed March 31, 1900. Serial No. 11,027. 'l'crm of patent 7 years.

To all whom, t may concern:

Be it known that I, OTIs A. MYGATT, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Design for a Lamp Shade or Reflector, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompany ing drawings.

My design consists in a new and original shape or configuration of an article ofnianufacture known as a reflector or shade for an artificial light and in a new and original ornament or form of ornamentation of such a manufacture.

This design is illustrated in Figure l by a side elevation, in Fig. 2 by a plan, and in Fig. 3 by a cross-section, of the shade online a; a; in Fig. 2. These figures fairly show the design so far as I am able to illustrate by a line drawing of the character required by the rules of the Patent Office.

As shown in the drawings, the shape or couiguration of my design is in general that of a frustum of a cone A, with a central opening, above which is a circular collar or tube B, with an opening therein. The lower or inside face of the reflector or shade is smooth.. The upper surface has prismatic ribs, as inl dicated at O, such ribs constituting surface ornamentation of the shade and extending from near the outer edge toward the center.

The material of which this shade is connposed is translucent, such as glass, and the same may be tinted. The tint in the glass adds to the irideseent or spectral effect of a light shining through the translucent material on the prismatic ribs.

The shade or reflector is intended to be suspended slightly above an artificial light or lamp, and the light-rays rising from the light pass through the transparent material and are reflected or retracted by the prismatic ribs on the upper surface thereof, producing an ornamental and useful distribution of the light-rays 'which pass through and also of the rays which are reflected from the shade or reflector.

Having described my invention, what` I claim as new isn I The design for a lampshade or reflector, as herein shown and described.

In testimony whereof I ailix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

OIIS A. MYGATT.
