WILLIAM H. STREEVER, OF PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA.
LAM]? ATTACHMENT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 22, 1918.
Application filed November 21, 1917. Serial No. 203,134.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. STREEVER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Portsmouth, Norfolk county, and State of Virginia, have invented and discovered certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp Attachments, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates tosupportin devices or holders for electric flashlig its, and consists in the combinations and arrangement of elements hereinafter described and particularly set forth in the accompanying claims.
The invention has for its purpose to provide a device of this character which may be readily applied" to or removed from an electric flashlight of the usual construction, and which is adapted to hold the flashlight from rolling ofi of a supporting surface, or to support the same at difierent angular positions. p
A further purpose of the invention resides in roviding an attachment with means for holding the lamp in different positions on the body in such a way that the arms and hands are left entirely free; and said holding device may be further utilized as a means to suspend the light from a position overhead.
In addition to the foregoing uses, the lamp attachment is adapted to be employed for various other purposes which will readilly suggest themselves to one using the artic e.
The invention is disclosed by way of illustration in the accompanying drawings wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating the application of the device to an electric flashlight,
Fig. 2 is a similar view showing one use of the article, and
Fig. 3 is a detailed view of the suspending part of the device.
Referring to the construction in further detail and wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts, the article consists of a spring clip 4 constructed of resilient sheet metal designed to have tight frictional engagement with the cylindrical body of the usual flashlight in the manner herein shown. k
The clip member 4 is provided with a pan of arcuate slots 5 providing securing and adjusting means for the two arms G'that are pivotally and slidably attached to the clips by means of the rivets 7 which pass through said arms 6 and the slots 5 in the manner shown. The two end members of the clip are formed with upturned portions 8 which provide suitable means for spreading the clip 4 to adjust the same lengthwise on the body of the holder, or to remove the clip from position as maybe understood.
The function of the arms 6 is to engage with the supporting surface of the flashlight and prevent the lamp from rolling off of the support in either direction. Thus, the arm 6 which engages with the supporting surface will prevent the flashlight from rolling in one direction, and the other arm 6, extended in the opposite direction, will prevent the lamp from rolling in the other direction as shown; The two arms may be disposed in opposite directions or in the same direction according to the conditions under which the light is used; and the sliding adjustment of the pivotal members 6 allow the lamp tobe supported in different positions of elevation as illustrated in Fig. 2.
The suspended member of thedevice consists of a clip member 9 constructed similar to the clip 4 and fits on the rear end, of the lamp holder as shown, and said clip is provided with a suspending member 10 formed with a hook 11 adapted to engage with any suitable supporting part. This hook mayengage with the buttonhole of the coat of the person and the clip 9 adjusted lengthwise of the holder to obtain the desired position of the light rays. The suspending member 10 has pivotal engagement with the raised part 12 of the clip 9, and said member is adapted to be moved into the dotted line position shown in Fig. 3 when not in use.
It is obvious that those skilled in the art may vary the details of construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of'my invention. and therefore-I do not wish to be limited to such features except as may be required by the claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. .An attachment for an electric flash lamp comprising a member adapted to have frictional engagement with the lamp, and
a supporting member pivotally and slidably connected to said member, set forth.
2. An attachment for an electric flash lamp comprising a slotted member adapted to have frictional engagement with the lamp, and an arm pivotally and slidably'engaging Within the slot of said member, substantially as set forth.
3. An attachment for an electric flash lamp comprising a slotted member adapted to have frictional engagement with the lamp, and a pair of arms pivotally and slidably adjustable in the slots of said member, substantially asset forth.
4. An attachment for an electric flash lamp comprising a member adapted to have frictional engagement with the lamp, and
substantially as a pair of arms pivotally and slidably adjustable on said member, substantially as set forth. I
5. An attachment for an electric flash lamp comprising a spring clip adapted to grip around the body of the flash lamp, a. pair of arms pivotally and slidably adjustable on said spring clip, substantially as set forth.
In Witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal at Washington, District of Columbia, this seventeenth day of November, A. D. nineteen hundred and seventeen.
