PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and connected with Fittings for Electric and other
Lamps.
1, HENRY SHERLEY PRICE, of 52 Queen Victoria Street, in the City of London,
Electrical Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of the said invention to be as
follows -
This invention relates to improvements in, and connected with, the shades or
reflectors employed with electric and other lamps, and consists in combining with the
shade or reflector, which is usually of the form of a truncated cone or of an inverted
saucer or basin, a ring or frame of any suitable shape suspended by chains, rods or
other devices from the outer rim or edge of the shade or reflector, and adapted to
support a glass or other vessel or holder, suitable to contain flowers or other ornamental
articles. The incandescence or other electric lamp placed as usual below, or within
the shade or reflector and casts its light upon the flowers or other ornamental articles
placed in the glass or other vessel or holder beneath, producing a highly ornamental
and novel effect.
The chains, rods, or other devices for suspending the ring or frame, may
connected to the shade or reflector by any suitable means; but I prefer to make the
shade or reflector, with a turned up rim round its lower edge, and to hang the chains,
rods or other suspending devices to the said rim by means of hooks, whereby the
suspending devices may be placed at any parts of the circumference of the shade or
reflector, that may be suitable to produce the best appearance.

Improvements in and connected with Fittings for Electric and other
Lamps.
I, HENRY SHERLEY PRICE, of 52 Queen Victoria Street, in the City of London,
Electrical Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of the said invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement, reference being had to the accompanying drawing,
and to the letters and figures marked thereon, that is to say :-
This invention relates to improvements in, and connected with, the shades or
reflectors employed with electric and other lamps, and consists in combining with
the shade or reflector A (see the drawing) which is usually of the form of a truncated
cone, as shown, or of an inverted saucer or basin, a ring or frame B of any suitable
shape, suspended by chains or rods C, or other devices, from the outer rim or edge A¹
of the shade or reflector A, and adapted to support a glass, or other vessel or holder D,
suitable to contain flowers or other ornamental articles. The incandescence or other
electric lamp E is placed, as usual, below, or within, the shade or reflector A, and
casts its light upon the flowers or other ornamental articles placed in the glass or
other vessel or holder D beneath, producing a highly ornamental and novel effect.
The chains, rods, or other devices, for suspending the ring or frame B, may be
connected to the shade or reflector A by any suitable means, but I prefer to make the
said shade or reflector with a turned-up rim A¹ round its lower edge, and to hang
the chains, rods, or other suspending devices C, to the said rim by means of hooks CT,

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manuer the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
The combination, with the shade or reflector of an electric or other lamp, of a ring
or frame suspended from such shade or reflector, and adapted to support a vessel or
holder for containing flowers or other ornamental articles, substantially as hereinbefore
