Improvements in Lamp Brackets.
1, JEAN MORIN of 158 Common Street, New Orleans in the State of Louisiana,.
United States of America, Gentleman, 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:-
My invention relates to improvements in lamp brackets, designed especially for
use with lamps for sewing machines, tables, and in similar situations; and my
invention consists in the peculiar construction and combination of devices that will
be more fully set forth hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings—
Figure is a side elevation of a lamp bracket embodying my improvements.
Figure 2 is a detail sectional view of same.
Figure 3 is a sectional view of the clamping sleeve to receive the arm in-
position on the standard.
The standard A, which is of suitable height, is provided at its lower end with a
U-shaped yoke H, which is arranged in a horizontal position and is adapted to fit
around the edge of a table, sewing machine stand or similar object, designated by
B, as will be readily understood. A clamp screw C is arranged in the lower-
arm of the yoke and is adapted for clamping the yoke to the table top in such
manner as to firmly secure the standard thereon. D represents a swinging arm,.
which has at its outer end a frame or ring E which receives the bowl of the
lamp as shown. At the inner end of the arm is a knuckle F, provided with a
vertical opening or bore to receive the standard and to permit the arm to be
vertically adjusted on the standard and thereby cause the lamp to be supported
ai any desired height. G represents a set screw, which enables the knuckle F to.
be adjusted to the standard at any desired elevation.
The operation of my invention is as follows-
By raising the knuckle, the arm carrying the lamp moves upwards, and when
the lamp is in such a position as is desired, I simply adjust the set screw G, and
the inner end of same impinges against the standard A and holds the knuckle at
any desired elevation upon the standard; by simply releasing the set screw,
knuckle is caused to descend and the arm may be turned to the right or left, and.
any adjustment desired is obtained.
the
I do not desire to limit myself to the precise construction and form of the yoke.
shown in Figure 1, as a modified form of the yoke may be in some instances.
employed with benefit in its stead, as shown in Figure 3.
A lamp bracket thus constructed is very cheap and simple, is strong and durable,.
adapts the lamp to be secured firmly to a table or other similar object without the
danger of falling off or becoming overturned, enables the lamp to be adjusted to.
any desired position, and will hence be found of great convenience and utility.
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
claim is―
In a lamp bracket, the combination, with the standard A, of the arm D, having
the knuckle F vertically adjustable, and adapted to swing on the standard, and.
the set screw G for adjusting the knuckle at any desired elevation, as set forth.
