## Title
Lamp apparatus for lighting and heating

## Abstract

The present invention relates to a lamp apparatus, which includes a lamp, a holder, and a connector. The lamp is received in the holder. The characteristic of the present invention is to provide a weight piece being received in the connector. The holder with the lamp is also connected within the connector above the weight piece (4) so the lamp apparatus can be positioned stably at any desire place.

## Background
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a lamp apparatus for lighting and heating, which has a stable structure to be positioned at any desire place.
In some situation, a lamp apparatus for lighting and heating is provided to obtain a certain purpose. For example, a lamp apparatus is placed under a disk containing aromatherapy oil therein. The oil can be vaporized by the heat of the lamp apparatus for perfuming. At the same time, the lighting of the lamp apparatus promotes the decorative effect. But the conventional lamp apparatus can not be positioned stably since the lamp holder and the connector are usually made of plastic. If the conventional lamp apparatus is fallen, dangerous accident, such as a fire, could happen because of the heat of the lamp.
Accordingly, the present invention is to provide a lamp apparatus for lighting and heating, which can prevent from the drawback of the conventional structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring firstly to FIGS. 1 and 2, the present invention relates to an improvement of a lamp apparatus for lighting and heating, which includes a lamp (1), a holder (2), and a connector (3). The lamp (1) is received in the holder (2). The characteristic of the present invention is to provide a weight piece (4) being received in the connector (3). The holder (2) with the lamp (1) is also connected within the connector (3) above the weight piece (4). Because the weight piece (4) is at lower position in the connector (3), the lamp apparatus can be then positioned stably while the center of the gravity has been moved downward. Hence, the lamp apparatus according to the present invention can prevent from being fallen of the prior one.
In use, as shown in FIG. 3, the lamp apparatus of this invention can be placed under a disk (5) containing with aromatherapy oil therein. By the heat of the lamp (1), the oil can be vaporized and it can perfume all around. The lighting of the lamp can also increase the decorative effect. As shown in FIG. 4, it shows another embodiment of the present invention, wherein the lamp apparatus is covered by a decorative cover (6) and the lighting of the lamp can display the special decorative effect through the cover (6). At this moment, the lamp apparatus can be stably positioned always. Accordingly, the present invention obtains utility for use and should be allowed for patent.
