screens or shades being adapted for holding and supporting flower sprays or other
ornamental objects.
For the purpose of my invention, and as represented in annexed drawings
Figures 1, 2, and 3, front, plan, and section respectively, I employ talc, glass, silk,
or other material A for my screens or shades, and attach it or connect it by metal

The screen or shade, or its frame is provided with one or more pockets or
troughs F, and with swivel or other clips G for holding and spreading sprays of
flowers, or other ornamental objects which can be artistically displayed for
decorative purposes. The troughs F are specially adapted for holding water when
natural flowers are used, and by adding a little scent to the water, a pleasant
perfume can become distributed over the room in which the lamp (candle or other)
is fitted, or arranged.
The screen or shield may be separable from the trough and if the article be used
for holding a menu, or other card such could be slipped behind the tongue H.
The screen or shield may, as before stated, be of any material or fabric for
giving a transparent effect, and be in any colour to harmonise with or be in contrast
with the articles arranged under the clips.
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 :-

trough F, clips G, G, as a device for attachment to candles or lamps by a spring
clip, as set forth.
