LAMP-SHADE Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 8, 1907.
Application filed January 10,1907. Serial No. 351,618.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM J. BOESEN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Orange, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Lamp-Shade, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to lamp shades, my more particular object being to produce an ornamental and serviceable shade made partly of glass sectors, so arranged as to exhibit cloth figures pasted inside of the glass, and so connected as to attain certain advantages in durability, convenience and strength.
Figure 1 is a perspective of a shade embodying one form of my invention; Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary section showing how any adjacent sectors are connected together and adapted to fold; Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary section through two gores of cloth having a general conformity analogous to that of the sectors; Fig. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary elevation showing particularly the manner of connecting the glass sectors and their accompanying parts; Fig. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary section of another form of my invention in which the shade terminates at its bottom edge in depending leaves 17. disconnected from each other; and Fig. 6 is a vertical section showing how each leaf is suspended froma corresponding sector as in Fig. 5.
A number of glass sectors 7 are connected together by means of gores 8 of cloth, each having substantially the same form as the sectors. These gores 8 are stitched together by means of a thread 9 so as to leave the edges 10 of sufficient length to be folded backwardly and lapped upon adjoining edges of the glass sectors 7. The gores 8 are provided with fanciful designs as shown, and these being seen through the glass sectors 7 from the outside thereof give the shade a highly ornamental appearance. The edges 10 having been turned backward and pasted or otherwise secured upon the sectors 7, a separate strip 11 is placed upon the edges 10 in the position indicated in Fig. 2, and secured thereto by means of stitches 12; a gilt border 13 is now pasted upon the edges 10 as will be understood from Fig. 1. Fig. 4 shows the same arrangement, with the exception that the gilt border 13 is omitted altogether, and an upper border 14 is provided and a lower arcuate border 15, for the purpose of giving a peculiar scalloped shape to the shade.
In the form shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the sectors 16 arev of glass, the lower edges of the same being straight. The swinging leaves 17 are of the shape indicated in Fig. 5. Each sector 16 is provided inwardly with a backing 18 of ornamental cloth, which'overlaps the sector at 19, and similarly each leaf 17 is provided with a backing 20 of cloth, which overlaps the leaf at 21, the two backings being stitched together at 23 and being reinforced by a strip 22 whereby their union is greatly strengthened. The leaves 17 may hang vertically, as indicated in Figs. 5 and 6, and for this purpose the adjacent edges 24 of each leaf are substantially parallel with each other.
My invention is used as follows: When the forms shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 are employed, the parts are assembled as above indicated. The shade may now be folded perfectly fiat and in this form may be shipped at a nominal cost and with a comparatively small risk of breakage. When the form shown in Figs. 5 and 6 is employed, the shade is folded as above described and the entire construction, including the leaves, possesses an amount of flexibility, whereby the danger of breakage is reduced to a minimum.
While 1 preferably employ glass backed by cloth, 1 do not limit myself to these particular materials; neither do 1 limit myself to the exact shape or construction of any part or parts shown.
Having thus described my invention 1 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
1. A lamp shade comprising a plurality of sectors, a cloth member mounted upon each sector and bent backward upon itself so as to straddle the sector, and a strip connecting adjacent pairs of said cloth members together, said cloth members being stitched together and also stitched to said strip.
2. A lamp shade comprising a pair of sectors, a pair of gores of flexible material stitched together and provided with edges, said edges and said gores being secured upon said sectors, and a strip sewed upon said gores.
3. A lamp shade comprising a plurality of sectors, each provided with an arcuate edge integral therewith, cloth members bent back upon themselves and secured upon said sectors, said cloth members being stitched together, and
a strip stitched to said cloth members for the purpose of reinforcing the same.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
WILLIAM J. BOESEN.
