GLOBEFHOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 634,221, dated October 3, 1899.
Application filed November 26, 1898. Serial No. 697,326. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, ALBERT G. SNOW, a citizen of the United States, residing at Scranton, in the county of Lackawanna and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Globe- Holders, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to globe-holders such as are used in connection with gas or other lighting fixtures; and the objects of the invention are to simplify the construction of such holders, to avoid broad surfaces which catch the dust or cast broad shadows, and to permit of expansion of the globe used with out breaking same or necessitating an adj ustment to prevent such breaking.
In the drawings, Figure 1 shows a wire bent so as to enter into the construction of one of my devices. Fig. 2 shows the same Wire after the second process of bending, making loops thereof radiating from a common center. Fig. 3 is a view of the same, showing a method of attachment of the said radiating portions to a central plate. Fig. 4 shows a top View of 'one of my holders complete. Fig. 5 is a detail view of the central plate used in the construction of my device. Fig. 6 is a view showing one of my devices in use.
Similar figures of reference refer to similar parts in the several views.
In the views, 1 designates a continuous wire bent into a plurality of loops, which after being bent, as shown in Fig. 1, is curved arounda small circle, so that the inner turns 11 of the same fall in the circumference of a circle somewhat larger than the gas-jet to which the fixture is to be applied. The ends 12 12 of the wire 1 are curved so as to complete a loop similar to 11, and the said ends may be soldered if necessary to strengthen the framework of the device. The circular piece or disk, 2, of plate metal having T-shaped portions 13 13 cut out at equal distances at a number of points in its circumference corresponding to the number of turns 11 in the wire to be used, forms the central portion of the device. This method of cutting the disk forms flaps 9, which are adapted to be bent over the radial parts 3 of the loops for the purpose of holding them solid to the plate or central piece 2. The said plate is provided with a bead or embossment 10 to stiffen and strengthen it. After being thus joined to the central piece the loops have their outer por-' tions 4 bent inward and curved outward, so as to lie in the circumference of a circle described by the narrow portion of the neck of globes as they are usually made. The radi ating portions 3 of the said loops are also curved in an upward direction, there being abrupt curves in them in an upward direc tion near the outer portions 4. of the wire. These curves will accommodate the flange 5 of a globe 6 when in use.
The operation of the device is readily comprehended. The holder when complete is slid onto a gas-jet 7 on a fixture 8, and when it is desired to attach a globe 6 the rim 5 of said globe is inserted into several of the loops and then pressed against them, while the others are drawn outward and downward by the hand until the rim 5 will pass down clearing the curved portions 4 of the loops, which then springing back to their normal position clasp the globe by being compressed by the flexibility of the wire into the neck of the globe.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is As a new article of manufacture, a globeholder having a central plate and central opening in said plate, adapting it to be slid onto a jet-tube, radial loops extending from regular intervals on the periphery of said plate, and the said loops curving upward so that their outer ends lie in a common plane parallel to that of the central plate, the outer portions of said loops being curved inward so as to conform to the circle described by the neck of the globe to be held substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
ALBERT G. SNOW.
