1'3 OVELTY-LAMP.

To all whom it may concern:

'Be it known that I, ALEXANDER E. Ran- 1.1011,.a citizen of the. United States, residing at Chicago, in the county-of Cook and State of Illinois,- have invented a new and useful Novelt-yLamp, ofwhich the following is a specification. r

This invention is a novelty lamp, and has for its primary object to embody therein a receptacle forming a standard therefor, and

a" candle holder mounted on and a shade bracket supported from the upper end thereof.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a closure, for the receptacleineluding a candle holder and a shade bracket supplorted by the closure, whereby the candie older and shade bracket are removable to open the closure and permit the contents 01 the receptacle to be emptied therefrom.

'of parts elicited in the following description and pointed out in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, wherei n the invention is illustrated in its preferred embodiment, and'wherein Figure 1 is a perspective View of the dcvic'e. Fig. 2 is a vertical central section thereof, parts broken away. Fig. 3 is a fragmental perspective of a detail.

Referring in detail to the drawings, the

standard comprises a tubular member 5,

preferably of glass or other pellucid mate rial having its lower end closed, enlarged and externally screw threaded to form a receptacle, the lower enlarged end of the tubular member 5 being designated by the numeral 6 and the screw threads thereon by the numeral 7, and the upper end of the tubular member or receptacle is enlarged as designated by the numeral 10 and has the ex- 5 ternal screw threads 11. A base or support 8, referably of sheet metal, has a threaded soc- 'et 9 rising therefrom which receives the lower threaded end of the receptacle 5 to' support thereceptacle in an upright positron.

5 socket depending from its lower end and which receives the upper enlarged and Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed 1519:1129, 1912. Serial No. 693,950.

threaded end of the receptacle 5 to detach ablysecure the head 12 over the open end of the receptacle. An annular stopper or cork 19 fits in the spout 14; of the head 12. a.nd a

candle holder 16 is seated on the upper end of the stopper or cork 19 and has a depending reduced portion 18 fitting into the said with a socket 17 in its upper end a apted to receive a candle 33. A metallic ferrule 31 of, a diameter equal to thediameter of the spout 14 fits over the candle holder and extends to the stopper 19 and has an upper inturned flange 32 seating or restin on the upper edge of the candle holder. he head 12-, the stopper l9 and the candle holder 16 form a secondary or outer closure for the receptacle, which incloses the stopper or in-' ner closure 15.

The shade bracket is constructed from a length of wire bent intermediate its ends into a U-shaped portion 20 fitting below the stopper 19 within the spout 14, and the two portions of the wire then being out-turned asdesignated by the numeral 21 to seat on the spout 14 and then being bent into 'up=' wardly diverging arms 22 which support theshade, designated generally by the nu meral 30. The free ends of the arms 22 are inturned or deflected inwardly to form seats 23 for the shade and are then hooked as designated bythe numeral 24 to engage stopper, the candle holder 16 being rovided with openings 27 therein and transparent or semi-transparent panels 26 secured over.

their inner faces to cover the openings 27, the edges of the sides 25 being attached together by corner strips 28 clenched to the edges of the sides. This shade 30 is adapted to be supported by the shade bragret the seats 23 of the shade bracket resti in 0' posite corners of the shade at the upper on s thereof and the books 24 engaging over the upper edges of the shade. The arms 22 are resilient, whereby upon the arms being pressed together, the hooks 24 may be disen-. gaged from the upper edges of the shad and the shade may then-be. removed, and in an opposite manner the shade or another shade maybe secuped to the shade bracket. In use, when the parts are all assembled,

.the candle 33 which is inserted into-*the socket 17 of the candle holder-maybe lighted h m y d ice may serve' ir-inch,

of the receptacle to be emptied therefrom by removing the candle holder 16 and the stopper 19 from the spout 12, thereby opening the outer closure to permit the contents of the receptacle to be poured or emptiedtherefrom. The shade bracket having the U-shaped portion 20 fitting in the spout 14 and below the stopper 19 serves as a means whereby the stopper and candle holder may be removed from the head 12, the candle holder and stopper being raised with the shade bracket as the shade bracket is raised. The funnel shaped head 12 serves as a means for conveniently pouring the contents of the receptacle therefrom by providing a constricted spout opening. The candle holder and shade bracket may then be replaced to again close the receptacle 5. The candle holder 16 and the stopper 19 may also be removed from the head 12 independent of the shade bracket when desired or necessary. In this manner, a novel closure is provided for the receptacle forming the standard of the lamp, which closure embodies a candle holder and shade bracket which are removable to open the closure and permit the con tents of the receptacle to be poured or emptied therefrom. The head 12 and base 8 may be also detached from the receptacle, whereby the stopper 15 may be inserted into the open end of the receptacle to permit the receptacle to be used as a bottle which may be sent to a distant point to be refilled, and when being again received, the stopper 15 may be removed and the head 12 again secured or attached over the open end.

The candle holder 16 is preferably constructed of Wood or other similar material, and the ferrule 31, head 12 and the base 8 are preferably constructed of or stamped from sheet metal, preferably nickeled or otherwise finished to present a neat and attractive appearance, the receptacle 5 being preferably of glass or pellucid material whereby the contents thereof can be seen therethrough, although it is understood that the receptacle 5 may be constructed of paper or other material. The shade 30 may also be of any desired construction, the shade as described embodying a transparent or semi transparent panel 26 being preferable for the reason that the flame of the candle can be seen therethrough or isvisible therethrough, which adds to the attractiveness of the lamp.

This novelty lamp is simple in construction and is capableof inexpensive manufacture, and in its use is convenient and eflia per fitting in the open end thereof,

cient, the lamp as a whole providing an attractive and desirable article of this character." It is also understood that various materials may be employed for the various parts and that this device is otherwise susceptible of alterations or deviations in its details within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of the invention. It is further understood, that the member 16 may not only be used as a candle holder, but may be employed as a socket for an electric bulb, or for holding any other means of illumination.
