Improvements in Roses for Supporting Electric Lamps.
We, CHARLES WILLIAM FARQUHAR, in the employ Messrs. Doulton & Co.
Lambeth London, Commercial Traveller, and HENRY LEWIS DOULTON, Potter, of
Lambeth do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
According to this Invention we make roses for supporting electric lamps in three
pieces which for distinctness we will call A B and C. The piece A is cemented,
screwed or otherwise fixed to the ceiling or wall from which the lamp is to be
supported. At the centre it is provided with a projection of a disc like form with a
screw thread around its edge. This disc is perforated for the leads to be passed
through. The piece B rests against A; it is also perforated to receive the conductors
attached to the lamp. The junctions between these and the leads are made between
the pieces A and B and are thus concealed. The pieco C consists of a screw cap
which screws on to the piece A and holds the piece B in position.
The rose is preferably made in earthenware so as to insulate the conductors.

Improvements in Roses for Supporting Electric Lamps.
We, CHARLES WILLIAM FARQUHAR, in the employ of Messrs. Doulton & Co.,
Lambeth, London, Commercial Traveller, and HENRY LEWIS DOULTON, Potter, of
Lambeth, 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 :-
According to this invention we make roses for supporting electric lamps in three
pieces which for distinctness we will call A B and C shown separately in
Figures 1, 2 and 3. The piece A is cemented, screwed or otherwise fixed to the
ceiling or wall from which the lamp is to be supported. At the centre it is provided
with a projection A¹ of a disc like form with a screw thread around its edge. This
disc is perforated with holes A" A" for the leads to be passed through. The piece B
rests against A (or there may be a small space between them) it is also perforated
to receive the conductors attached to the lamp. The junctions between these and the
leads are made between the pieces A and B and are thus concealed. In the drawing
three junctions a b c are shown each having two screws. One screw of a and one
screw of are connected by a fused whilst their other screws receive one a lead and
the other a conductor. The screws of c receive a lead and a conductor respectively.
The piece C consists of a screw cap which screws on to the piece A and holds the
piece B in position.
The rose is preferably made in earthenware so as to insulate the conductors.
Figures 4 and 5 show a vertical section and underside view of the completed rose
without the wires.

page_text: 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
