JOHN PETERSON, OF FARIBAULT, MINNESOTA.

LAMP-SHADE HOLDER.

Application filed March e, 1922. semi No. 541,439.

To all whom it may concern: v

Be it known that I, JOHN PETERSON, a citizen of the United States, resident of Faribault, county of Rice, State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp-Shade Holders, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive means for supporting a lamp shade and a means which can also be utilized as a handle for moving the lamp from place to place.

A further object is to provide a shade supporting means which will allow the convenient removal of the shade at any time when access to the lamp is desired.

A further object is to provide a shade supporting means which can be utilized for supporting various types of shades, but is particularly adapted for wooden lamps and shades.

The invention consists generally in various constructions and combinations, all as hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification,

Figure 1 is aperspective view of a lamp embodying my invention,

Figure 2 is a sectional view through the shade, showing the manner of mounting it on the lamp,

Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Figure 2,

Figure 4 is a detail view, showing the manner of supporting the shade.

In the drawing, 2 represents the base of the lamp 3 an upright standard, preferably of wood, and 4- wooden arms which are mounted on the lower portion of the standard and project upwardly in parallel relation to a point a considerable distance above the top of the standard. Between these arms on the top of the standard I arrange a light bulb 5 connecting it with suitable wiring through the standard and base in the usual way. I 6 represents a shade, shown here as made of wood, having thin panels 7 fitting into sockets in the frame of the shade, being in the form or" thin veneering, suitably finished. The top of the shade is formed by a plate 8 that is also suitably joined to the frame on the sides and ends and this plate has holes 9 therein throu h which the u )ner ends 10 of the arms lare inserted. Below the upper ends of the arms I provide cross pins 11 and when a shade is placed over the lamp, the ends of the arms are thrust through the holes 9 until the top of the shade contacts with the pins 11, when the shade will be supported in a substantial manner-or at any time may be'easily and quickly removed by simply lifting it ofl' the top of the lamp. The pins will be concealed when in use and will not in any way detract from the ornamental appearance of the lamp.

Should it be desired at any time to change the position of the shade or use another style, new holes may be made in the arms and the pins inserted therein. The arms, in addition to their function of supporting the shade, serve as hand grips for conveniently moving the lamp from place to place. I claim as my invention:

ard and forming hand grips and projecting upwardly above the top of said standard.

lamp comprising a standard, arms mounted on the lower portionof said standthe upper ends 01" said arms and said arms having pins inserted transversely therethrough below said fiat top and supporting it and said shade.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 1st day of March, 1922.

JOHN PETERSON.
