ELEo'rRIo-LIGI-rr ince I 7 Application filed Mar uez, 19 29. se iai 13493351 This invention pertains'to an electric light fixture, and moreparticularly to that type commonly known as an indirect light, wherein the rays of light from the incandescentbulb are reflected against the ceiling or other reflecting surface. t
t The present invention, which is applicable to any type offixture, such as a pedestal lamp, or a Wall or ceiling bracket, hasprimarily for its Object the provision of a simple, inexpensive, and efiicient fixture assembly which eliminates securing means, such as rivets,
bolts,and the like, and which insures proper centering of the focal point of the light with"- reiation tov the parabola of the reflector.
incidental to the foregoing, a further ob ject resides in the provision of a. fixture in which-the reflector constitutes the shade and held in assembled position on the bracket 7 ed in any color desired: Thus, it'will be" seen or standard by means of the lightbulb.)

.From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the drawing,it will be readthat an exceedingly simple, inexpensive, and efficient structure has been pro-i sembled without the use of rivets, screws, or
other securing means, and which can be read bulbs 13. This" permits th wa'ukee, in the county of 1xrawaunts: and
the parts are readily asily disassembled for shipping purposes; e i While the adaptor G is shown as separate 1 and distinct from the refle ctor bowl 5, it will be appreciated that the samemay beiormed integral there'withwithout departing fromc -invention; How-f the spirit of thepresen ever, the present structure is considered preferable at this time for various manutacturing reasons.
