PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Fastenings for Gas Globes or Lamp Shades.
I, PHILIP HENRY JAUNCEY of 51 Lozells Road Birmingham in the County of
Warwick Chandelier Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to improve the fasteners for securing gas globes or
lamp shades on their holders, it is especially although not exclusively applicable to
that kind of globe known as "The Comet.'
The globe or shade rests upon three radial arms two of which arms are made
without any mechanism attached to them but the third arm has an adjustable lever
fastening pivoted to it for securing the globe when placed in position and it is to
this adjustable lever fastening to which this improvement relates.
The lever fastening is made to clasp the inside of the lower edge of the globe or
shade and is operated on either by a screw or spring as hereinafter described and
illustrated by the accompanying drawing.
Figs. 1 and 2 illustrate the lever fastener A as operated on by a spring. Fig. 1
shewing it open to allow of the globe being placed in position and Fig. 2 shewing it
closed and clasping the inside of the globe when in position.
The lever fastener A works on the pin B and is operated on by means of the
spring C the said spring being placed on a connecting rod D, pivoted to the lever
at E and having push piece F for operating it by the thumb or finger.
The spring is arranged to press against the push piece F and an extension of
the arm.
Thus it will be perceived that the lever fastener is kept tightly against the globe
by means of the spring as shewn at Fig. 2 and that for releasing it the push piece
is operated which causes the lever fastener to open for removing the globe as shewn
at Fig. 1.
Fig's 3 and 4 illustrate the lever fastener A operated on by a screw, Fig. 3
shewing it open and Fig. 4 shewing it closed against the inside of the globe when
in position.
The lever fastener A works on the pin B and is operated on by the screw C the
said screw being placed on a connecting rod D pivoted to the lever at E and
working in an extension of the arm F.
Thus it will be perceived that the lever fastener according to this arrangement is
worked backwards and forwards and kept in position by the screw C.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Fastenings for Gas Globes or Lamp Shades.
I, PHILIP HENRY JAUNCEY of 51 Lozells Road, Birmingham in the County of
Warwick Chandelier Manufacturer, 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 improve the fasteners for securing gas globes or
lamp shades on their holders, it is especially although not exclusively applicable to
that kind of globe known as "the Comet."
The globe or shade rests upon three radial arms, two of which arms are made
without any mechanism attached to them but the third arm has an adjustable lever

this adjustable lever fastening to which this improvement relates.
The lever fastening is made to clasp the inside of the lower edge of the globe or
shade and is operated on either by a screw or spring as hereinafter described and
illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
Figs. 1 and 2 illustrate the lever fastener A as operated on by a spring. Fig 1
shewing it open to allow of the globe being placed in position and Fig. 2 shewing
it closed and clasping the inside of the globe when in position.
The lever fastener A works on the pin B and is operated on by means of the
spring C, the said spring being placed on a connecting rod D pivoted to the lever
at E and having push piece F for operating it by the thumb or finger.
The spring C is arranged to press against the push piece F and an extension of
the arm.
Thus it will be perceived that the lever fastener is kept tightly against the globe
by means of the spring as shewn at Fig. 2. and that for releasing it the push piece
is operated, which causes the lever fastener to open for removing the globe as
shewn at Fig. 1.
Fig. 3
Figs. 3 and 4 illustrate the lever fastener A. operated on by a screw,
shewing it open and Fig. 4 shewing it closed against the inside of the globe when
in position.
The lever fastener A works on the pin B and is operated on by the screw C, the
said screw being placed on a connecting rod D, pivoted to the lever at E and
working in an extension of the arm F.
The said screw C being thinned down and turned over to form a kind of necking
at H to keep it in position on the extension of the arm.
Thus it will be perceived that the lever fastener according to this arrangement
is worked backwards and forwards and kept in position by the screw C.
The lever for the purpose of strength may be folded over and returned on the
other side of the radial arm so as to clasp the said radial arm.
The rod may be attached either above the pivot of the lever as shewn at Figs. 1.
2. 3 and 4 or below the pivot, as shewn at Fig.'s and 6.
The rod and nut may be reversed and the rod fitted with a thumb screw, for
screwing into a swivel nut or other suitable attachment to the lever.
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. A lever fastener worked by a rod and spring as substantially set forth in this
Specification and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
2. A lever fastener worked by a rod and nut as substantially set forth in this
Specification and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
3. A lever fastener worked by a rod and nut, the said rod, being jointed, or
pivoted to the said lever and having a screw worm for the nut to operate by, the
said nut working in an extension of the radial arm, and being thinned down, and
turned over to form a kind of necking to keep it in position, as hereinbefore
described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
