Improvements in Joints for Electric Light Fittings.
I, ERNEST ALEXANDER CLAREMONT, of Electron, Cavendish Road, Chorlton-
cum-Hardy, near Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Electrician, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the joints of electric light fittings: the object of this
invention is to construct the said joints so that the parts may be turned at various
angles to one another, without injuriously affecting the wire or wires employed in
connection with electric work, that are intended to be laid in them: I effect this
object by the means hereinafter described, and as illustrated in the accompanying
sheet of drawings, in which a side view, partly in section, of a joint constructed
according to this invention, is represented.
•
I form a joint such as A, by means of separate parts a, b, and c:
The part bis
formed with apertures and e that are closed by means of the screwed pins d'
and e: I form interior flanges f and 9, within the part b, one of said flanges f
being opposite one end of the pin , and the flange opposite to the end of the
pin e¹.
The apertures d and e are constructed of a sufficient size to permit either of the
plugs to be passed through them when the pins d' and e' are unscrewed and taken
out; these plugs which are both of the same pattern and size, are formed with a
flange j, that will rest on the aforesaid inner flanges and y, and secure the parts a
and c respectively to the part b, by means of the nut m on the screwed end n.
these means the parts a and c are free to be moved round without becoming detached
from the part b.
By
The wire or wires 9 pass into, and through the joint as shown. In order that
the parts a and c may be limited in movement, I form a groover with a stop therein,
which will thereby prevent the parts a and c being moved round to an extent that
will injuriously affect the wire or wires laid in them.
Dated this 27th day of October 1893.

Improvements in Joints for Electric Light Fittings.
I, ERNEST ALEXANDER CLAREMONT, of Electron, Cavendish Road, Chorlton-
cum-Hardy, near Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Electrician, 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 relates to the joints of electric light fittings: the object of this
invention is to construct the said joints so that the parts may be turned at various
angles to one another without injuriously affecting the wire or wires employed in
connection with electric work, that are intended to be laid in them. I effect this

page_text: object by the means hereinafter described, and as illustrated in the accompanying
sheet of drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is a side view of two parts of a bracket connected by means of a joint
constructed according to my invention; Fig. 2 is a section of the same joint;
Figs. 3 and 4 represent the joint as shown in Fig. 1, with parts of the bracket
placed in different positions.
.
1 form a joint such as A by means of separate parts, a, b and c.
The part is formed with apertures d'and e, that are closed by means of the
screwed pins and e'; I form interior flanges and g within the part b, one of
said flanges being opposite one end of the pin d', and the flange g opposite to the
end of the pin e'.
The apertures d and e are constructed of a sufficient size to permit either of the
plugs to be passed through them when the pins d' and e¹ are unscrewed and
taken out; these plugs, which are hollow and both of the same pattern and size,
are each formed with a flange j that will rest on the aforesaid inner flanges f and 9.
and secure the parts a and a respectively to the part by means of a nut as m on
the screwed end n of the plug j.
b
The tubes a and u forming parts of the bracket are connected to the aforesaid
parts a and c by being screwed thereto, or in any ordinary manner: When the
position of the bracket is altered, uniforin novement of the plug and the part a
or c is ensured by means of the set screw t, and the parts a and c are free to be
moved round without becoming detached from the part b.
The wire or wires y pass into and through the joint as shown.
In order that the parts a and c may be limited in movement, I form a groover
with a stop therein which will thereby prevent the parts a and c being moved
round to an extent that will injuriously affect the wire or wires laid in them.
By these means the several parts of the bracket are free to be moved round to
any position without injuriously affecting the wires.
In Figs. 3 and 4 the part of the bracket is represented in the same position as
shown in Fig. 1, but the joint A is turned so that the part of the said bracket is
placed in each of these views in different positions, and in like manner the
relative positions of the several parts of the bracket may be altered to suit various
requirements.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
In electric light fittings, the use of a joint as A represented on the accompanying
drawings, in or through which to lay or pass a wire or wires employed in con-
nection with electric work, and constructed in the manner and for the purpose
substantially as hereinbefore described.
