adjusted, or moved into any desired position.
In my invention a reflector of any required shape or form is made preferably in
2 or more sections as shown in the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is an elevation and half section; Fig. 1' is a part plan of Fig. 1 (the part
broken off Fig. 11 is a continuation of the part shewn, thereby forming a complete
circle and hinged in like manner as at 6); Fig. 2 is an elevation shewing the
reflector partly open; Fig. 3 is a front elevation; Fig. 4 is a back view elevation
of Fig. 3 Fig. 4' is a sectional plan of Fig. 4; Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation.

made up of 2 sections A and A', connected together by a suitable hinge or join
as at b, in a convenient manner to permit of their being freely opened or moved a
shewn in Fig. 2; when disconnecting from lamps or appliances. before referred to.
In a convenient manner as at B & B I fit and securely connect the segmen
of a suitable band of metal or suitable material; this segmental band to form a
means of attachment to preferably encircle the stand, brackets or neck of lamps o
appliances that use reflectors (in the drawing Fig. 1, the reflector is shewn attached
to the neck or collar of an electric lamp holder).
or
The segmental band B and B' when closed as shewn in Fig. 1¹ to be held secur
by male and female spring clip or clips C and C' or similar device.
:
Each section of reflector to be strengthened at the edges if required by additiona
thickness of metal or suitable material as at d & d', also if required; by
strengthening rings or wires as at ; over which the metal or material is folded
or otherwise connected; such metal or material to be preferably a continuation o
the metal or material of which the reflector is formed.
A semicircular reflector constructed according to my invention is shewn at Fig.
made up of 2 sections A and A', connected together by a suitable hinge o
joint in a convenient manner to permit of their being freely opened or moved a
shewn at Fig. 4¹ when disconnecting from lamps or appliances before referred to.
At the base of each section A' and A' I fit and securely connect the segment
of a suitable band of metal or suitable material as at B' and B³, this segmenta
band to form a means of attachment to preferably encircle the stand, brack
neck of a lamp or appliances that use reflectors (in the drawing Fig. 3, 4, 5, sin
the reflector attached to the neck or collar of an electric lamp holder).
ΟΙ
The segmental band B' and B³ when closed as an attachment as shewn
Fig. 3 and 4 to be held secure by male and female clip or clips as at C³ or si
device.
Each section of reflector to be strengthened at the edges if required by addi
thickness of metal or material as at d and d' also by strengthening rings or
if required as at d.
Such reflectors constructed according to my invention to be made in
required metal or suitable material.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my sa
invention and in what manner the same is performed, I. declare that what
