page_text: Improvements in Lamp Shade Holders.
I, ROBERT PATTISON, of 17, Oswald Street, in the County of the City of Glasgow,
Curtain Band Maker, do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as
follows:-
This invention has reference to and comprises improvements in lamp shade
holders by which lamp shades of the usual ornamental character and such
like' will be more securely suspended over the lamps than as hitherto:
In carrying into practice the improvements of this invention the lamp shade
holder is formed of two metal rings, one to rest on the lamp gallery and one
to sustain the shade, connected together by standards preferably three in number.
These standards formed of metal wire or the like are secured to the lower ring,
bent downwards and then upwards preferably outside of the ring in a manner
to produce a spring clipping action on the rim of lamp gallery. They are then
carried upwards within the upper ring to a point slightly above it and bent down-
wards and outwards and secured to the ring. This provides a spring clipping
action when the ring of the lamp shade, made of a size to correspond, is placed
over the vertically projecting spring part of the standards and so holds the
shade in a secure manner.

I, ROBERT PATTISON, of 17, Oswald Street, in the County of the City of Glasgow,
Curtain Band Maker, do hereby declare the nature of my invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement in writing, reference being made to the accom-
panying drawings, that is to say:
This invention has reference to and comprises improvements in lamp shade
holders by which lamp shades of the usual ornamental character and such
like will be more securely suspended over the lamps than as hitherto.
In carrying into practice the improvements of this invention as illustrated
by Figure 1 of the drawings the lamp shade holder is formed of two metal rings,
one B to rest on the lamp gallery and one A to sustain the shade connected
together by standards C preferably three in number. These standards formed of
FD 077

page_text: metal wire or the like, are secured to the lower ring B bent downwards and
then upwards preferably outside of the ring in a manner to produce a spring
clipping action on the rim of lamp gallery. They are then carried upwards within
the upper ring A to a point slightly above it and bent downwards and outwards
and secured to the ring. This provides a spring clipping action when the ring
of the lamp shade, made of a size to correspond, is placed over the vertically
projecting spring part of the standards and so holds the shade in a secure
manner.
The lamp shade holder may however be constructed as illustrated by Figure 2
of the drawings hereunto appended in which the two. rings A and B are shown
connected by the standards C. These standards are attached to the lower ring B,
bent downwards and upwards within the ring, and formed with a spring clipping
part C to clip on to the gallery 1 of the burner. At their upper part the
standards C are bent inwards and formed with a spring clipping part C² by which
the supporting ring of lamp shade is held securely. The spring formation of the
standards enables them to be sprung into place on the gallery and the ring of
lamp shade to be slipped into position as indicated in dotted lines at E.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is-
First. Lamp shade holders constructed all substantially as herein set forth.
Second. The supporting of lamp shades on lamps all substantially in the manner
and by the means as herein set forth.
