GLOBE-HOLDER FOR AR GAND LAMPS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 266,470, dated October 24, 1882.

Application filed July 17, 188:2. (No model.)

T all whom it may concern:

I Be it known that I, HIRAM \V. HAYDEN, of Waterbury, in the county of New Haven and State of Conuecticut have invented an Improvement in Globe-Holders for Lamps, of

which the following is a specification.

Glass globes for lamps are made with an opening at the bottom, and rest upon a flange of metal around the burner. These openings vary [0 considerablyin size,and to supportsuch globes it is necessary that the metal flange be sufficiently wide to accommodate the variations in the globes. 'lhese flanges become unsightly and cumbersome in appearance and obstruct :5 the light. To avoid these difflculties make the globe-holder of a zone shape, having a radius corresponding, or nearly so, to the radius of the external surface of the globe, so as to form a correct support for such globe whether the opening is small or large; and I make ornamental openings in the said holder for the twofold purpose of improving the ap; earance and preventing the heavy shadow that otherwise would be cast by such globe-holder, and

2 1 notch the edges of the metal of the globeholder in order that the said globe-holder may cast less shadow without the diameter being lessened.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan of the 0 globe-holder separately; and Fig. 2 is asection of the globe-holder, showing its mode of use with a lamp burner and globe.

The burner a is of usual character, having a chimney-holder and a flange or head around it, upon which rests theiui proved globe'holder (l, which is made dishing in the form of a zone, there being an upward flange, 2, surrounding the central opening for the lamp-burner. At 3 3 the sheet metal is perforated with ornamental figures for lessening the shadow cast 0 by the globe-holder by allowing the light to shine through such perforations. The edge of the globe-holder is notched or scalloped, as at 4 4, to form an ornamental border and to lessen the shadow east by the globe- 5 holder, and at the same time maintain the required size of globe-holder. The radius from which the cuivature of the dishing zone is described is to correspond, or nearly so. with the radius of the glass globe. Hence such globe will be supported reliably by the globe-holder whether the opening in the globe is either large or small.

. I claim as my invention Thesheet-metalglobe-holderhavingacentral opening and flange for the Argand burner, and of a zone shape corresponding to the glass globe, and numerous perforations in the sheet metal, and a notched or scalloped edge, substantially as set forth.

Signed by me this 10th day of July, A. D. 1882.
