Improvements relating to Candle Shades, Shade Holders, Reflectors,
and Supports.
1, CHARLES EDWARD GREEN, of the Firm Green Brothers, of 49 Hatton
Garden, Holborn, London, China and Porcelain Merchant, do hereby declare the
Dature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to combining shades, shade holders, reflectors, and their
supports as a single article or so make them that two or more of such shall be in
combination as a single article and the remainder be applied to a book or music
sheet, while the eyes of the operator or reader are shielded by the shade itself, this
being of any material (ornamented or plain). The shade frames are preferably
made of wire with two upper rings of different diameters to fit over a conical
shaped band, and with a lower three quarter circle or shaped wire at or near the
base with angled wires at intervals connecting the upper and lower parts rigilly,
the shade being secured to said wire frame in any desired manner to constitute
a single article affixable to a candle shade support preferably used on a candle
lamp.
The invention is specially adapted for use with candle lamps, for sconces of
pianos, chamber organs and like instruments but may be applied to reading and
like candle lamps with equal facility.
For the purpose cf my invention, I make the shade of about three parts of a
circle, or three sides of a square, four sides of a hexagon, or a quintuple, or the
like, whereby a gap is left through which the full power of the flame or light
can be directed, on and not loose to be placed over the frame as at present.
The band on which the combined wire frame and shade can rest is secured to a
back strip rising from the nozzle socket or clip band and this has a metal or other
reflector attached for concentrating or directing the rays of light by turning the
nozzle socket or clip band as desired.
These three parts i.e. nozzle socket or clip band, the reflector and the shade
supporting band are preferably combined as a single article for placing over and
on a candle or candle lamp, the shade and its frame as a distinct combined article
being then dropped on the upper band for the purposes explained.

I, CHARLES EDWARD GREEN, of the Firm Green Brothers, of 49 Hatton.
Garden, Holborn, London, China and Porcelain Merchant, 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 combining shades, shade holders, reflectors, and their
supports as a single article or so make the n that two or more of such shall be in
combination as a single article, the object being to apply them in such manner that
the eyes of the operator or reader are shielded by the shade itself, this being of any
material (ornamented or plain).
An example of my invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in
which
Figure 1 represents a side elevation of candle ring, reflector, and skeleton frame
all in position; Figure 2 being a front view of the same.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of a complete circular shade covered with fluted
silk or other material.
The shade frames are preferably made of wire with two upper rings A, B, of
different diameters to fit over a conical shaped band C of the support, and with a
lower three quarter circle or shaped wire E at or near the base with angled
wires F, F, at intervals for connecting the upper and lower parts rigidly, the silk
or other shade G can be secured to said wire frame in any desired manner to
constitute a single article, as at Figure 3, which is affixable to a candle shade
support preferably used on a candle lamp.
The invention is specially adapted for use with candle lamps, for sconces of
pianos, chamber organs, and like instruments but may be applied to reading and
like candle lamps with equal facility.
For the purpose of illustrating my invention, I have shown the lower conical
portion of the shade as made in a shape corresponding to three parts of a circle,
but it may be, say, three sides of a square, four sides of a hexagon, or a quintuple,
or the like, whereby a gap is left through which the full power of the flame or
light can be directed on to the desired object, and the material composing the shade
is secured to the framework and not loose to be placed over the wire frame as at
present.
The band C on which the combined wire frame and shade can rest is secured to
a back strip H rising from the nozzle socket or clip band I and this has a metal or
other reflector J attached for concentrating or directing the rays of light by turning
the nozzle socket or clip band as desired.
These three parts i.e. nuzzle socket or clip band I, the reflector J, and the shade
supporting band C are preferably combined as a single article for placing over and
ou a candle or candle lamp, the shade G and its frame A, B, E, F, as a distinct
combined article being then dropped on the upper band C for the purposes
explained.
I prefer that the reflector J be suspended from above to be shiftable from the
bottom into a vertical position shown by dotted lines Figure 1 and so alter the
angle at which the light is reflected to suit the convenience of the person using
the article.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven--
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The improvements relating to candle lamp shades, shade holders, reflectors,.
and supports, as hereinbefore described and as shown in the annexed drawings.
2. The combination of a candle or lamp socket rising stem and support band and
shiftable reflector with a shade formed of a covered three quarter circle three sides
of a square or mutilated pentagon or hexagon wire frame, made endless at its top.
end for resting on the support band of the shade holder, arranged substantially as
described and as shown by the example in the annexed drawings.
3. Combining the fluted silk or other suitable material with a wire frame having
an opening for the passage and reflection of the rays of light, as described and.
substantially as shown.
