PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Holders for Globes and Shades of Gas, Electric,
and other Lamps.
I, GEORGE FREDERICK SANDERS, of the Hockley Street Works, Hockley Street,
City of Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Manufacturer, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
This invention relates to the improvements hereinafter described in holders
for globes and shades of gas, electric and other lamps and has for its object
certain improvements on Letters Patent No. 8343, dated April 27th 1894 granted
to me, whereby such globes or shades may be suspended or held to the gallery
or other fittings, and attached or detached instantaneously thereto and there-
from.
In carrying my invention into practice I attach to the gallery two projecting
tongues which protrude therethrough so as to clip or hold the internal flange
of the globe or shade the said tongues being placed at a suitable distance apart.
I likewise provide a third tongue having a sliding or circular movement inwards
so arranged as to permit the globe or shade being attached or detached. The
said sliding or circular moving tongue I arrange as follows:-I provide a slide
made from a blank of sheet metal having an arc shaped slot which engages with
a projecting stud on the tongue. At one end of the slide I form a horizontal
slot which engages with a headed stud projecting from the gallery, the object
being to keep the slide in place. The opposite end of the slide terminates into
a tail piece around which coils a spring: the end of the tail piece slides in a
raising or portion of the metal of the gallery. In some cases this spring may
be dispensed with. To the side of the slide is formed a thumb piece capable of
sliding in a slot cut in the side of the gallery. It will be obvious that by
putting the said thumb piece in one direction or the other the sliding tongue
will be drawn in or out of its place. The pressure of the springs keeps it always
n its extended position on the flange of the globe or shade securing the same
to the gallery or other fitting. My invention is applicable to any form of gas,
electric or like lamp fitting.

page_text: 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 relates to the improvements hereinafter described in holders
for globes and shades of gas, électric, and other lamps and has for its object
certain improvements on a former Letters Patent granted to me and bearing.
date the 27th of April A.D. 1894 No. 8343, whereby such globes or shades may
be suspended or held to the gallery or other fittings and attached or detached
instantaneously thereto or therefrom.
In carrying my invention into practice I attach to the gallery two projecting
tongues which protrude therefrom so as to clip or hold the internal flange of
the globe or shade, the said tongues being placed at suitable distances apart
I likewise provide a third tongue, having a sliding or circular movement inwards
so arranged as to permit the globe or shade being attached or detached.
The said sliding or circular moving tongue I arrange as follows:-
I provide a slide made from a blank of sheet metal, having an arc-shaped
slot which engages with a projecting stud on the tongue.
At one end of the slide I form a horizontal slot which engages with a headed
stud projecting from the gallery, the object being to keep the slide in place.
The opposite end of the slide terminates into a tail-piece around which coils a
spring, the end of the tail piece slides in a raised portion of the metal of the
gallery. In some cases this spring may be dispensed with.
To the side of the slide is formed a thumb-piece capable of sliding in a slot,
cut in the side of the gallery. It will be obvious that by pushing the said
thumb-piece in one direction or the other the sliding tongue will be drawn in
or out of its place. The pressure of the spring keeps it always in its extended
position on the flange of the globe or shade, securing the same to the gallery
or other fitting.
In order that my invention may be more clearly understood, I will describe
it by reference to the accompanying drawings, the same letters of reference
indicating similar parts throughout.
Figures 1 and 2 show a front elevation and plan respectively of my improved
globe or shade holder.
Figure 3 is a section through one of the tongues. Figure 4 and 5 show also
a front elevation and plan respectively of a modification.
A represents a gallery arranged to encircle the neck of a globe or shade.
B, B, are two projecting tongues which clip the neck aforesaid as shown at
Figure 3. D is a sliding tongue piece held in its extended position by the
slide C and the spring J. The slot E which embraces the stud F keeps the
slide C in its place on the gallery.,
The tongue 1 is provided with a projecting stud G which engages in the arc-
shaped slot H. By moving the thumb-piece I in the direction of the arrow,
the sliding tongue D is withdrawn from its grip of the globe. The spring J
coils around the tail piece K which takes bearing in the raised part of the
gallery L. The action of the spring keeps the slide D clipped on the globe or
shade.
In the arrangement shown at Figures 4 and 5 the tongue piece G is caused
to gyrate on the pivot M the movement being effected in the same manner as
described in Figures 1 and 2.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. The improved holder for globes and shades of gas, electric, and other
lamps consisting of two fixed tongue-pieces and one movable tongue-piece operating
substantially as in the manner described.

page_text: 2. The combination with a globe or shade holder of the gallery A the
tongues B and B and the movable tongue D arranged to operate substantially
as described and illustrated, and for the purpose set forth.
