The object of the invention is-to provide a light shade holder which may be-adjustedto' i 't known that I, CHRISTIANIQOHLHAAS, f acitizen of the United States,- and a 'a'resi- "dent of'Long'Branch, in the-countyfof 'Mo-n- I '.mouth and State offiNe'wJersey, have invented a newandlmproved shadefHolder, of which the followingfis' a full; clear; and exact descriptiton.

This invention relates to improved light hold the shade at any angle to the hght.

Another object is a shade holder which is compact in form and so shaped that it may be easily placed on the lamp .chimney'or light bulb without exposing the fingers to the heat ofthe light.

These and other objects will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description and accompany1ngdrawin 's. e

Figure 3 is a top plan view of the'shade holder;- y y Figure 4: is a cross section along the line 4-4, Figure 3; I I p Figure 5 shows the shade holder mounted on'the cylindrical chimney of a gas lamp. Referring to the above-mentioned figures,

a flexible wire has an arc-shaped portion 10. At the ends 11 and 12701 the arc-shaped portion 10 the wire is bent and brought back approximately parallel to the inside of the arc-shaped portion thus formingan arcshaped loop 27L Loops 13 and '14. are formed in the portions 15 and 16, which proximately parallel to the arc-shaped portionlO. The portions 15 and 1 6 overlap fora short distance and are then bent 'so that they project radially inward, forming members l7 and 18. Each of these members '17 and 18 are bent to form semi circular' parts 20 and 19, which cross near their junction with the members 17 and 18. At the outer ends of I the semi-circular shaped 'memberslQ and 20 the wire is bent to form horns or arcshaped portions 21 and 22 which serve as guides when the shade holder'is being forced onto alamp chimney or electric light bulb.

Springs 24 are fitted into theloops 13 and 14.. These springs are madeof any flexible T QHR I N-KQH Aa ens- Be-mesea-mm..
