An Improved Suspender or Hanger for Illuminating Lamps.
We. GEORGE HARRY NASH and HARRY BASLEIGH BOND, trading as Nash
Bond & Co., of 58 Upper Tower Street, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick,
Stampers and Piercers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to the manufacture and use of a novel construction of
suspender or hanger for what are known as Fairy" and such like lamps.
"
Hitherto it has been difficult and inconvenient to make use of these lamps in a
suspended position as the tripod baskets had to he hung from brackets, such brackets
requiring backs which have to be plugged in a wall, or the brackets had to be attached
to a panel or the tripods had to be suspended from a ceiling or from a line.
According to our invention these inconveniences are obviated and we provide a
bracket of any suitable shape and which can be conveniently stamped out of sheet.
metal, such bracket being formed with a socket adapted to be passed over a hook
which can be either driven into a plaster wall or made to screw into woodwork.
It will be obvious that the small hook can be driven into a wall as easily as an
ordinary nail and the screw hook can be used in any woodwork, and our novel
suspender or hanger being placed thereon affords a convenient and quick means of
suspension for Fairy lamps for temporary decoration.
