Improvements in the Manufacture of Baskets or Frames for
Suspending Lamp Vessels and the like.
I, BRUCE EDMONDS, of 31 Greenfield Road, Harborne, in the County of Stafford,
Secretary, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention refers to the manufacture of baskets or frames for carrying Lamp
reservoirs, Flower vases, and the like suspended articles, and consists in fixing or
securing the supporting bars to the ring preferably by rivets and fixing the lower
part of the bars to the portion carrying the screw in the following manner:-
The bars are continuous from side to side and so cranked as to fit over one
another inside the box carrying the screw, the lid or securing piece of which is
slotted and wings or flanges on this lid or securing piece are turned down and
closed over and thus all the parts are securely held together.
Dated this 12th day of February 1897.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Baskets or Frames for
Suspending Lamp Vessels and the like.
I, BRUCE EDMONDS, of 31 Greenfield Road, Harborne, in the County of Stafford,
Secretary, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
This invention refers to improvements in the manufacture of frames or Baskets
for carving Lamp Reservoirs, Flower Vases and such like articles and consists of
an improved method of securing together several bars or supporting arms crossing
each other and forming the frame or supporting arms of any such article capable
of being so put together.
I will now refer to the accompanying drawings to assist in the description of my
invention.
Fig. 1 shews complete elevation of my invention made up with Four plain bars
or supporting arms for the purpose of carrying the vessel or container of Floor
Table or other Lamps with screw fitting as at (d) but may be used in various other
combinations, as to number of bars used and modes of fitting the frames or baskets
other than by the screw (d). The bars (c) are preferably riveted to the ring r.

page_text: Fig. 2 shews in section a box (with screw fitting d) carrying the bars or support-
ing arms c (shewn cranked in this instance.)
Fig. 3 is a view of the convex under side of the cupped piece or lid shewing the
slotted portions a and wings b which are to be turned down and closed over.
Fig. 4 is a sectional view of same piece.
Figs. 5 and 6 shew the bars or supporting arms when applied as in Fig. 1.
The bars or arms c are continued from side to side crossing each other at any
required angle and may be cranked as Figs. 5 and 6 or otherwise disposed in side
the box Fig. 2, the lid or securing piece Figs, 3 and 4, which is cupped at c for the
purpose of receiving any over flow or drip from the vessel or container carried is
slotted at a to fit the bars or supporting arms c and the wings or flanges b on this
lid or securing piece are turned down and closed over so securing the parts firmly
together.
Although I have shewn the cupped piece Fig. 3 circular in outline I can if
desired make it octagonal or of any other convenient form.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
(1) In the construction of baskets or frames for suspending lamps and for such
like purposes, the method of fastening together and making secure any number
of bars or supporting arms required by means of throwing back or turning over
the wings of the slotted piece Fig. 3 as herein described and illustrated.
2. The use of the slotted piece so as to keep the bars or supporting arms in
their require position.
3. The use of a cupped piece Figs. 3 and 4 as a recepticle for any liquid which
may overflow or drop from vessel or container carried in the frame or basket.
