PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Clip for Shades for Electric Lamps, Candles or other
Illuminating Devices.
I, ERNEST DUNAND, of 78, Newman Street, London, Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows;-
-
This invention relates to an improved clip by which the fancy shades of paper
and the like are attached to electric lamps or other illuminating devices and has
for its object to so construct the clip that the portion to which the paper or other
material forming the shade is attached (usually by gum or other suitable adhesive
matter, and which when the lamp socket or other part of the illuminating device
carrying the clip becomes heated, is liable through the softening of the adhesive
matter to become detached from the said clip and further the shade is liable
where the heat is excessive to become ignited) shall not become overheated.
In carrying the invention into effect I construct a clip of thin sheet metal
similar in form and arrangement to the usual clips employed for this purpose
but having in addition to the single perforated band a second band situated out-
side the first so as to leave a space between them, and supported thereby in any
convenient manner and it is to this latter band that the material forming the
shade is attached. The second band may be formed integral with the first or it
may be as above stated secured thereto and if desired some non-conducting heat
material inserted between the metal at the junction.
Dated this 10th day of April 1899.

An Improved Clip for Shades for Electric Lamps, Candles or other
Illuminating Devices.
I, ERNEST DUNAND, of 78, Newman Street, London, Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
This invention relates to an improved clip by which the fancy shades of silk,
cotton, paper or the like are attached to electric lamps or other illuminating
devices and has for its object to so construct the clip that the portion to which the
paper or other material is attached will not become overheated and thereby cause
the gum or other adhesive matter or cotton usually employed to become softened

to cause the shade to ignite.
In order that the invention may be the better understood drawings are appended
in which:
Fig. 1 being a partly sectional view, the line of the section being upon A B
Fig. 2 the latter figure being a plan of the clip.
e
In carrying the invention into effect I preferably construct the clip in two
parts the clip proper a being of ordinary construction and one of its members
formed at one end of the pieces b c which are bent as shown to form two semi-
circular concentric rings the outer b supporting the inner c by means of the piece
which is preferably perforated as shown in Fig. 1. Both the inner and outer rings
are perforated as shown at d. I may instead of constructing the clip as illus-
trated form the inner ring c integral with the members of the clip and attach
the outer ring b thereto in any suitable manner and by any suitable non-conducting
material if found desirable.. The shade would be attached to this outer ring b.
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:-
The improved clip substantially as herein described and illustrated by the
appended drawings.
