PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Galleries or Holders for Carrying Globes for
Gasaliers and the like.
I, EDWARD ARTHUR HARMAN 64, Royal Road Kennington Park London
Brass Finisher do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
My invention consists of an improved gallery for carrying the globes in connection
with gas brackets in which.one arm is moveable for the purpose of securing the
globe upon the gallery. Three arms are arranged to the gallery after the usual
manner, two being fixed, and the third is arranged to slide backwards and forwards
within a groove arranged along the projecting portion of the centre piece. This
portion is grooved at the top and bottom for the whole of its length and a
certain portion of the groove in the centre is pierced through, the length of this
slot determines the distance to which the arm can move.
The arm itself is formed with a downward projecting portion capable of moving
within the said slot and the edges of this downward projecting portion are
traversed with a screw thread upon which is placed a nut to screw on to this
portion the end of which is rivetted loosely beyond the nut to prevent the same
from falling off.
A given portion of the arm slides in the groove beforementioned and so steadies
this moveable arm from any side motion. The fixed arms may be secured in a
somewhat similar manner except that no groove or screw nut is required the down-
ward projecting portion being simply rivetted through the centre arrangement
which screws on to the gas bracket. Each of the arms are provided with a peculiar
shaped projection for securing the globe after the manner already in use in these
galleries.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Galleries or Holders for Carrying Globes for
Gasaliers and the like.
I, EDWARD ARTHUR HARMAN of 64 Royal Road Kennington Park London
Brass Finisher 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 consists of an improved gallery for carrying the globes in connec-
tion with gas brackets, in which one arm is moveable, for the purpose of securing
the globe upon the gallery.
Three arms are arranged to the gallery after the usual inanner, two being
fixed, and the third arranged to slide backwards and forwards within a groove
This portion is
arranged along the projecting portion of the centre piece.
grooved for the whole of its length, and a certain portion of the groove in the
centre is pierced through, forming a slot; the length of this slot determines the
distance which the arm can move.
The arm itself is formed with a downwardly projecting portion, capable of moving
within the said slot, and the edges of this downwardly projecting portion are
traversed with a screw thread, upon which is placed a nut, the end of the projection
being rivetted loosely beyond the nut to prevent the latter falling off.

A given portion of the arm slides in the groove beforementioned which serves to
steady the arm and prevents any side motion. The fixed arms may be secured in a
somewhat similar manner, except that no groove or screw nut is required, the
downwardly projecting portion being simply rivetted through the centre arrange-
ment, which screws on to the gas bracket. Each of the arms is provided with
projections for securing the globe, after the manner already in use in these
galleries.
Referring to the accompanying sheet of drawings,
Fig. 1 is a plan and
Fig. 2 an elevation of my improved gallery.
1,1 are the two fixed arms supported by the central piece 2, and 3 is the movable
arm having the projection 4 extending through the slot 5 in the arm 2 of the
central piece 2. The lower edge of the arm 3 rests in the groove 6, and is provided
with two pins or projections 7, which rest on the top of the piece 2 in order that
the arm may slide to and fro more readily. The end of the projection is rivetted
loosely as shown in Fig. 2, so that the nut 8 on the screwed part of the projection 4
can move vertically a small distance. When the arm is to be shifted, the nut is
given a part turn to the left, loosening it on the arm 2, and allowing the device
to slide in the slot and groove. A part turn in the opposite direction will fix it in
any desired position."
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
In a gallery or holder for globes, the combination of a movable arm 3 sliding
in a groove in the central support, a screwed projection 4 passing through the slot 5,
and a nut on the projection 4, capable of turning for a short distance, substantially
as described and for the purpose specified.
