This inventionrelates generally to a tem or a means for illuminating booths such as are provided in hair fdressing parlors for the use of patrons, the invention having particular reference to the provision of lights on the partitions separating the booths, which lights serve'to illuminate the two adjacent booths. y A p i The invention has for an objectV to provide a novel lighting system of this'v sort which includes lights for illuminating adjacent booths capable' f properA control by switches located in the respective booths.
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and acc'ornpz'inyingdrawings, and to the appended claims inwhi'ch the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth. n Y
F l of the drawings 4is `a pe'iispective View showing a number of booths having the improved lighting system applied thereto.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical sectional Viewr of the light compartment on the top of one of the separating partitions of the booths, this view being take-n on the line 2-2 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view thereof, taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 1 is adetail transverse sectional view taken on the line 1 4 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 5 is a diagram of the wiring circuits.
Referring now to the drawings, the reference numeral 1() indicates a number of booths such as are provided in hair dress ing parlors for individual use of the patrons, t-hese booths being providedwith doors 11 and being separated by partitions 12 which latter, however', do not extend up to the ceiling of the room or apart-ment which contains the booths.
Extending along the tops of the partitions 12 are light compartments 15 whose side walls preferably diverge upwardly away from one another as shown. In these side walls are openings closed by glass panes 16 through which the light passes to the teeth-s faam electric ,incandescent lamps' mounted on the floors 15 of these top 'cornpartments;l There may be a row of these lamps in each compartment, and as will be obvious each lamp normally throws Vlight into the 'two booths that are separated by the partition on which the said lamp is Habilit'ed-U1 s r i The'` connections tothe lamps areysoarlrangeci that the personentering any given booth to occupy the same may, closing a suitable switch, illuminate the row of` lamps on each side of the booth. If, however, the adjacent booth ris occupied and the lamps on the separating partition are `lighted theV closing of the switchy will have no effect on this'rowy of lamps but kwill illuminate the row on the other partition ofwthepbooth. Likewise when the person leaves the booth and opens the switch, the opening of the switch will have no effect in closing the row of lamps illuminating the adjacent booth if the switch of the latter is still closed.
`Referring now to F ig. 5 the reference numerals 13 and 19 indica-te the two main SOV leads. From the wire 18 branches 2O conconnection is made, to the l.return wires' 24E` from thevlamp's. .Oneyof these switches, as will be understood,A is located in each of the booths 10. As will be apparent, when any switch is closed the lamps on both sides of the corresponding booth will be lighted, while the opening of anyone of these switches will have no eifect on the illumination of the adjoining booth as long as the switch in the latter remains closed.
Reflectors may also be provided for the rows of lamps and I have here shown a novel arrangement whereby the reflectors may be adjusted to throw the light mainly into a single compartment when desired.
is here shown the reflectors are in the formy ets83 depending from the latter. On the removed sides of the plates 27 are fixed longitudinally extending pins 34 which engage in curved grooves 35 in the end walls of the compartment l5.
Each bar 29 is formed with alongitudinal? slot 35 on one wall of which rack teeth 36 are formed, these teeth meshing with a gear pinion 37 fixed on a shafty 38 extending through the hollow shaft 32 and suitably supported at its ends in the ends of the latter. The shafts 32 and 38 extend forwardly through the'front wall of the partition and have handwheels 32 and 38 respectively fixed to their projecting ends.
Under normal conditions the two reflector plates 27 occupy the position shown in Fig. 3 to reflect light equallyl into both booths. l/Vhen it is desired to reflect the light mainly into one of the lbooths the Y handwheel 38 is turned to move the bars 29 upward and so cause the two plates to 'extend transversely in a substantially ccntinuous curve. After this the handwheel 32 is turned slightly to the desired direction to rock the shaft 82 and so swing the com- Y plete reflector to the side desired, the pins '34 traveling in the grooves 35 during this movement. Since the various parts connected with the reflector may be of light construction no positive'loclring iiieansis needed to holdthe parts in theirV adjusted positions, the parts being fitted together booths, a lamp on' saidpartition, and a re- Hector adapted to be adjusted to either refleet the light equally into both booths or mainly into one booth, said reflector comprising a pair of members hinged together at one side, and engaging guide elements at their opposed sides.
v2. In av device vof Vthe classV described, a pair of booths, a partition separating said booths, alamp on said partition, and a yreflector adapted to be adjusted to either re- `llect the light equally into both booths or mainly into oneA bcotli, said reflector co1iiprising a pair of plates, vertical bars to which said plates are hinged at adjacent sides, pins on the opposed sides of said plates engaging in guide grooves, and means for adjusting said bars vertically and for swinging them in planes parallel with the planes o f thesaid grooves.
y 3. In a 'device of the class described, a pair of booths, a partition separating said booths, a lamp on said partition, and a refiector adapted to be adjusted to either re fleet the light equally into both booths or mainly intotone booth, said reflector compiising ay pair of plates, vertical bars to Awhich said plates are hinged atvadjaceiit sides, pins on the opposed sides of said plates engaging in guide grooves, and means for adjusting said bars vertically and for swinging them in planes parallel with the planes of the said grooves, said iiieaiis'including ahollow shaft having guide elements to receive the said bars, a second shaft withinthe'hollow shaft, gears on said shaft, and rack teeth on said bars engaged by the said gears.
In testimonyy whereof I have affixed my signature.
