COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Lamp Globes or the like.
We, SAMUEL BLOWERS, Engineer, 19 Clarendon Road Croydon West, and
CHARLES PAINTER of 65 Brixton Road London in the County of Middlesex
Commercial Traveller 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 :-
The object of this invention is to construct globes for lamps and the like which
shall be suitable for advertising and other purposes, besides merely diffusing the
light or protecting the flame from the draughts.
According to this invention we construct globes for lamps and the like divided
into two or more portions in a vertical plane cach of which is capable of rotation
independently of the other, in the same or opposite directions. The upper and
lower portions of such globes may be made in sections each section being of a
different color from the others when mere effect is desired, or having a different
device or advertisement thereon, so that when the two halves of the globe are
rotated a striking effect is produced or advertisements displayed, and in order that
our said invention may be the better understood we will explain the same with
reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which is represented a lamp
globe constructed according to this invention.
A is the upper half of the globe composed of plain or colored glass on which may
be displayed advertisements.
B is a portion of same or a ring of any suitable material attached thereto to cover
the anti-friction rollers C.
D are arms preferably three or four in number supporting the anti-friction
rollers C. C.
E E. are balls or antifriction rollers supporting the lower portion J of the globe
which may be constructed in a similar manner to the upper portion A.
K is a collar resting on the balls E and attached to or forming part of the tube
or spindle G.
F is the lamp column.
The lower portion J of the globe may be caused to rotate by means of any

page_text: suitable motor preferably by a belt actuating the spindle G by means of bevil
wheels attached to the pulley shaft and the spindle G but any suitable gearing may
be employed.
By allowing the weight of the upper portion A to rest on the lower portion J
the rotation of the latter will cause the portion A to rotate in the opposite
direction.
The portion A may however be driven independently of the portion J either in
the same or opposite direction.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is
Constructing globes for lamps and the like in two or more portions capable of
being rotated in the same or opposite directions substantially as described and
shewn.
