To all whom ztmay concern: 7 v

Be it known that I, ALVIN FOSTER, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Orleans, in the parish of Orleans and State of Louisiana, have'invented new and useful Improvements in Handles, of which the following is a specification.

My present invention pertains to handles, such for instance as are employed in connection with portable electric lamps of the type that are generally used by automobile mechanics and the like, and it contemplates the provision sive. to produce, and is, at the same time indestructible and acts as an insulator for the wires of the lamp.

The invention further contemplates a handle for the purpose set forth, formed of such material that liability of burning the hands of the user is removed and at the permits of perfect' same time the material insulation and moreover, prevents the poss bility of electric shocks from a shortened or lground wire or wires.

, he invention, fully understood from the following description and claim when the same are read in connection with the-drawings, accompanying and forming part of this specification, in which v The figure represents my novel lamp handle partly in section and partly in elevation with the lamp socket arranged therein. R

My novel handle comprises a'section of pipe or metal section tubing 3 that is threaded at one end as indicated by 2 and this provision is made in order that the well. socket 1 may be secured on the tubin As will be noted, the socket 1 is covered with insulating material 6 and the tubing 3 is covered with an insulating material 5 and said material may be either common of a handle that is inexpenhose or a combination of flexible rubber and fabric and in this connection, I would have it understood from the upper end of the lower end of the tubing 5.

As will be noted from the drawing, the lower end of the tubing 3 is beveled as indicated byA and hence injury to electric wiring that tric energy through the tubing and to the, socketis inhibited. i I i It'will be gathered from the foregoing socket 1 to the s1ve.1n. construction and highly eflicient for the purpose for which it is intended.

I would distinctly have it understood that the fabric of which the insulation is formed may be of any qualitycompatible with its purpose, and I would also have it underconnection with various applhances.

atent is p In a device for the combination of an interiorly bored pipe sec tion that is interiorly beveled from a point slightly above one end thereofto said end, interior threads formed at the opposite end of the section, and a covering of suitable material surrounding the section and extending above the upper end of the section to surround a lamp socket when threaded in the pipe section.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in' presence of two subscribing wit I IBSSBS.
