Application filed February 11, 1919. Serial No. 276,331.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PHILIP CHAPPELL Bnownn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Portland, in the county of Multnomah and State of Oregon, have 1nvented a new and Improved Combined Lamp and Heater, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to lamps and heaters, my more particular purpose being to provide a device of this general character and having means whereby it may be used either as a lamp for purposes of illumination or as a heater, and in each of these two respective capacities may be employed 1n a variety of different relations.

Reference is made to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in which like characters indicate like parts in all the views.

Figure l is a side elevation of my device;

Fig. 2 is a substantially central vertical section through the same;

Fig. 3 shows the device when used as a heater, certain parts being removed;

Fig. 4 is a section on the line 44 of Flg. 2 looking in the direction of the arrows; and

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary section of a part of the casing.

A base 5 is provided with a neck 6 and with an annular flange 7 extending slightly inward from this neck. The base carries a spider 8. Secured to the base and extending upwardly therefrom is a frame 9 having the general form indicated in Fig. 2. A casing made in two halves 10 is so fashioned as to fit against the frame 9. The two halves of the casing are each provided with a semiring 11 so formed that when the halves are together these semi-rings form a neck, as may be understood from Figs. 1 and 2. A

'loose ring 12 may be fitted upon this neck in order to hold the halves together, the ring being movable vertically upward in order to disengage them. A cap 13 is provided with a reduced neck portion 13 which fits upon the upper end of the neck made of the semirings 11 and as may. be understood from Fig. 2.

Carried by the cap 13 is a socket 14 in which are detachably fitted a pair of incandescent bulbs 15. Mounted rigidly upon the cap 13 and extending obliquely forward therefrom, while diverging from each other, are a pair of arms 16 which support a shade 17. Another pair of arms 18 are carried by the socket 14 but are mounted to swing upon screws 18 serving as trunnions or bearings. These arms 18 carry a reflector 19, which may be circular or parabolic as desired. By swinging the arms 18 downwardly, the reflector may be tilted to diiferent angles and may be brought down into the extreme position indicated in Fig. 3.

Extending through the frame 9 is a shaft 20, and mounted upon one end of this shaft is a button 21 whereby the shaft and parts carried by it may be turned relatively to the frame. ,Mounted rigidly upon the shaft 20 are a pair of arms 22. Disposed between these arms and movable angularly in relation thereto is a heating element 23 having a cross-section of the general form shown in Fig. 4. This heating element is for the purpose of toasting or similarly heating articles. The heating element 23 carries a heating coil 24 and also a pendant rod 25. This rod is used as indicated in Fig. 3 for supporting the outer-edge portion of the heat ing element when the arms 22 are swung into horizontal position. For this purpose the lower end of the rod 25 rests upon the floor or table supporting the base 5. The heating element 23 carries a number of stiff wires 23 serving as a grid. By means of screws 26 the heating element 23 may be tilted to different angles relatively to the arms 22 and secured in different angular positions. At 27 are a pair of wire racks, suitable for supporting a slice of bread or the like to be toasted.

The base 5 is provided with an eye 28, and extending through this eye is a lamp cord 29 divided into two portions 30, 31. The portion 30 passes upwardly through the spider 8 and divides into tWo wires 32, 33, which are connected to the arms 22, these arms, in turn being connected to the terminals of the heating coil 24. The portion 31 of the lamp cord leads up to the socket 14 and supplies the incandescent lamp bulbs 15 with current.

A pair of adjusting screws 18*enable the operator to adjust the arms 18 in different angular positions. Another pair of adjusting screws 19 enable the reflector 19 to be adjusted and held in different angular positions as desired.

With the parts arranged as indicated in Fig. 1, my device is suitable for use as an ordinary lamp. If the two halves 10 of the casin be removed, as indicated in Fig. 3, the evice is adaptedzfo'r' use as a heater. By turning the re ector 19 and shiftm the angular ositions of the arms 18 the can be re ected and thus concentrated at any one of a number of a desired number of points, or may be projected to a dlstance, if desired.

By swinging down the arm 22 so that the rod 25 rests upon the table, as-indicated in outlines in Fi 3, the device may be used as a toaster. or this purpose the heat received from the heating lamp 23 may be intensified, if desired, by aid of the reflector 19, which, of course,.is shifted into an angular position suitable for the purpose. One or more pieces of bread may be rested upon the rack 27, and thus positioned may be toasted by the heat from the heating element. For this purpose the arms 22 should be vertical, as indicated by full lines in Fig. 3. If desired, however, these arms may be brought to horizontal position, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 3, and a piece of bread to be toasted, or a pan of water or the like to be heated, may be rested directly upon the heating element.

I do not limit myself to the precise arrangement shown, as variations may be made therefrom without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Let-"- ters Patent:

1. In a device of the character described,

the combination of a supporting frame, a

lamp and a heating element mounted there eat upon, means for turning said heat" "element into different positions relativey to said supporting frame, and a reflector 1on1- naled upon said supporting frame and mov-- able into different positions relatively to said lamp and to said heating element, saidreflector being movable into one position for reflecting light from said lamp and into another position for reflecting heat from said heating element.

2. In a device of the the combination of a supporting frame, an electric lamp mounted thereupon, an electrically operated heating element mounted upon said frame, a pair of arms journaled upon said frame, a reflector carried by said arms and movable into two positions, one for reflecting light from said lamp and the other for reflecting heat from said heating element, and means for holding said reflector in different positions of adjustmentrelatively to said arms.

3. A device of' the character described comprising a supporting frame, a swinging member mounted thereupon, a heating element carried bysaid swinging member and movable bodily into different positions rela tively to said supporting frame, a lamp mounted upon said supporting frame, a reflector common to said lamp and to said heating element, and mechanism connected with said reflector for holding the same in a position to enable it to reflect the light of said lamp or in a position to reflect the heat of said heating element.
