JAMES BURN 120 Albert Road Handsworth Staffordshire and 22 Regent Row
Birmingham Press Tool Maker Stamper & Piercer do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
The centre of the Globe Holder is a short tube with a thread screwed on it
a squashed ball is fixed to each end.
A washer screwed inside works on the out-side of the tube between the squashed
balls at the ends.
Three Scroll worked arms that hold the Globe are secured by a joint on the washer
that works on the thread of the tube between the squashed balls and which may be
regulated as desired, so as to secure Globes of various sizes.

page_text: I JAMES BURN of 120 Albert Road Handsworth in the county of Staffordshire
Press Tool Maker &c. 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 :-
This invention has for its object improvements in globe Holders for carrying
Chandelier Globes which are better adapted to meet varying requirements than those
now in use & thus a less number of sizes kept in stock would meet all the needs of
ordinary trade, because one of my new Holders would be equal to say three sizes
of the old pattern, it is stronger far more durable as no soldering is required &
besides this would answer the purpose of each size better than the seperate sizes when
made to the old pattern. In order that my invention may be clearly understood &
more easily carried into practice I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon
which is shown one example thereof, which will make the principle sufficiently clear
to enable other designs to be carried out with facility & ease as the Holders may be
made of almost any shape or design & still meet the special requirements of great
adjustability which is the main object thereof.
Fig. 1 is a complete elevation of the Holder & shows the plate or washer midway
upon the screwed part of the nozzle.
Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation through A. B. as in Fig. 3.
Now it will be seen that the arms are connected to the plate C as in Fig. 1. by
joints forined out or upon the plate C by being turned over upon the rivet D which
passes through a hole in the arm F as shown in Fig. 2 & that when so attached to
work freely in each joint the plate C being turned to the right hand will rise towards
the flange or hollow cup E by which means the arms expand & so tighten upon any
size globe, by the inner fork or prong T coming in contact with the interior of the
Globe, or by turning to the left hand the arms bearing against the shoulders of the
nozzle H contracts small enough to admit of the smallest size Globe for this class of
Globe or Comet Holder.
Fig. 4 is a smaller Holder constructed precisely upon the same principles as Fig. 1.
& varying only in the design of the arms, which is so shaped at its extremity that
when the plate to which the arms are connected as shown in Fig. 2 shall be moved
towards the left, the extreme points of the three arms G. Fig. 4 will close towards
the centre, thereby tightening upon the outer diameter of the Narrow Necked Globe.

page_text: It will be obvious that the plate C in Fig. 4 as in the other figures may be made in
various ways & that many plans may be adapted for securing arms or suitable clips to
the plate for the purpose of carrying or holding Globes & Glasses for Oil Lamps
which will occur to practical minds to suit the varying requirements.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said invention
& in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is:
The improvements in Chandelier Globe Holders for carrying Chandelier Globes &
Lamp Globes or Glasses by the great adjustability obtained through the arms or clips
being secured to the horozontal plate C. Fig. 3 & traversing upon the central screw
or nozzle H substantially as & for the purpose herein set forth.
