Abstract:
A table lamp, comprising:a base having an upper surface, and an axle hole formed in the upper surface; an upright bolt inserted into the axle hole and extending out from the upper surface; a holdfast seat having a screw hole disposed at a bottom thereof, an upper end of said bolt being inserted into the screw hole and locked in place so that said holdfast seat is fixed on said bolt, said holdfast seat further having a horizontal axle hole; a cross shaft inserted into the horizontal axle hole, and having two ends extending out from opposite sides of the horizontal axle hole; a first transfer seat having a screw hole on a side thereof, one of the two ends of said cross shaft being inserted into and locked to the screw hole of the first transfer seat, said first transfer seat further having a jack formed in an upper surface thereof, said first transfer seat also having a lockhole formed in a side face thereof that receives a first lock screw; a second transfer seat that receives another one of the two ends of said cross shaft therein, said second transfer seat further having a jack formed in an upper surface thereof, said second transfer seat also having a lockhole formed in a side face thereof that receives a second lock screw, said first and second transfer seats being rotatable about an axis of said cross shaft; a screw hole cap that is engaged with said second transfer seat and locked to the another one of the two ends of said cross shaft; a first supporting tube having a lower end received within the jack of said first transfer seat, and being fixed within said first transfer seat using the first lock screw; a second supporting tube having a lower end received within the jack of said second transfer seat, and being fixed within said second transfer seat using the second lock screw, said first and second supporting tubes being spaced apart from each other, and collectively forming a slideway therebetween; an outer casing body having a slotted hole formed therein; an inner casing body disposed within said outer casing body, and being fixed to said outer casing body to form a unit that is fixed to, and spans between, upper ends of said first and second supporting tubes, said inner casing body having a slotted hole formed therein, and which is in alignment with the slotted hole of said outer casing body, so that the unit has a slotted hole therein, said inner casing body further having first and second grooves disposed on opposite sides of the slotted hole, each of the grooves being defined by a respective wall that is adjacent to the slotted hole, each wall having a hole formed therein that communicates each respective groove with the slotted hole; a first electric wire that extends from said base, through said upright bolt, through said holdfast seat, through said first transfer seat, and through said first supporting tube, respectively, to extend from the upper end of said first supporting tube; a second electric wire that extends from said base, through said upright bolt, through said holdfast seat, through said second transfer seat, and through said second supporting tube, respectively, to extend from the upper end of said second supporting tube; a first conduction head electrically coupled to said first electric wire at the upper end of said first supporting tube, and being disposed within the first groove, and having a portion that passes through the respective hole in the respective wall, to project into the slotted hole; a second conduction head electrically coupled to said second electric wire at the upper end of said second supporting tube, and being disposed within the second groove, and having a portion that passes through the respective hole in the respective wall, to project into the slotted hole; first and second springs disposed within the respective grooves, that respectively urge the first and second conduction heads in a direction toward the slotted hole; first and second insulating members disposed in the respective first and second grooves, the first and second electric wires respectively passing through the first and second insulating members prior to coupling to said respective first and second conduction heads; a light fixture; and an extension tube slidably disposed within the slotted hole, and being fixable to the unit of said inner casing body and said outer casing body using a screw, said extension tube having a left railway and a right railway, which respectively engage with said first and second supporting tubes to allow said extension tube to slide in the slideway, said light fixture being disposed on an upper end of said extension tube, and each railway having an electric wire disposed therein that extends to the light fixture, said electric wires within said railways being slidably electrically engagable with the respective conduction heads, to allow power to be transmitted to said lamp shade.
