Complete Specification Left, 17th Mar., 1897-Accepted, 24th Apr., 1897
I, SALOMON FALK, of the Firm of Falk, Stadelmann & Co. Limited, of 83, 85
and 87 Farringdon Road, in the County of London, Lamp Manufacturers, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in combination shades chiefly applicable
for use with pendent incandescent gas lights.
In carrying out my invention I employ a glass reflecting shade with a neck or
flange by which it is suspended to the pendant by means of screws, clips or the like
so that it may be easily detached when required.
Over this reflecting shade I adapt a frame made of covered wire the central ring
of which fits over the neck or flange of the reflector. To the outer ring of the
frame I apply an ornamental extension of silk or other suitable fabric.
By this arrangement if it be required to remove, for cleaning or otherwise, the
ornamental extension, it is merely necessary to disconnect the reflector from the
pendant when the frame with the ornamental extension can be lifted off.

I, SALOMON FALK, of the Firm of Falk, Stadelmann & Co., Limited, of 83, 85
and 87 Farringdon Road, in the County of London, Lamp Manufacturers, 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 improvements in combination shades chiefly applicable
for use with pendent incandescent gas lights.
In carrying out my invention employ a glass reflecting shade with a neck or
flange by which it is suspended to the pendant by means of screws, clips or the like
so that it may be easily detached when required.
Over this reflecting shade I adapt a frame made of covered wire and having
applied to it an ornamental extension of silk or other suitable fabric. The wire
frame may be held upon the glass reflecting shade by a central wire ring connected
to the said frame and which fits over the neck or flange of the reflector. Or the
frame may be provided with wire clips which clip the glass reflecting shade.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe it by reference to
the accompanying drawings, in which :-
Figure 1 is a plan of a lamp shade made according to my invention and wherein
the covered wire frame is held upon the glass reflecting shade by a central ring:

page_text: Figure 2 is a section on the line 2-2 Figure 1:
Figure 3 is a plan of my lamp shade, wherein the wire frame is held upon the
glass reflecting shade by clips:
Figure 4 is a section on the line 4-4 Figure 3: and
Figure 5 is a section on the line 5-5 Figure 3 drawn to a larger scale.
a is the glass reflecting shade and 6 the neck or flange by which it is suspended
to the pendant by means of screws, clips or the like so constructed that the said
shade may be easily detached when desired.
c is the frame made of covered wire and d the ornamental extension of silk or
other suitable fabric attached to the frame in any suitable manner. e, Figures 1
and 2, is the central ring connected to the frame by radial wire connections f, fand
. fitted over the flange or neck b of the glass reflector a so as to hold the wire
frame c and its extension d upon the glass reflector a.
9, g, h Figures 3, 4 and 5, are the wire clips by means of which the frame c and
its extension a are secured upon the glass reflecting shade a in the modification
shewn in these figures. The said clips g, g, h are secured to the wire covered
frame as shewn clearly in Figures 4, and 5 and the clip is bent back at its upper
end as shewn at i so as to form a hook which can be grasped by the fingers and
pulled downwards when it is desired to move the wire frame c and its extension d
from the glass reflecting shade a.
With my improved lamp shades if it be required to move, for cleaning or for
any other purpose, the ornamental extension d it is merely necessary to disconnect
the reflector a from the pendant when the frame c with its ornamental extension d
can be lifted off or removed from the said reflector a.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In a lamp shade the combination of a glass reflecting shade with a covered
wire frame carrying an ornamental extension substantially as described and
illustrated.
2. The manufacture and use of the improved combination lamp shades
herein before described and illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, and 3, 4 and 5
respectively of the accompanying drawings.
