Abstract: A universal foldable lamp shade cover which includes a uniformly pleated rectangular sheet of thin, somewhat rigid yet bendable material having a plurality of side-by-side slender elongated panels integrally connected one to another in accordion fashion along a fold line between each panel. The side margins of the pleated sheet are connected to form a somewhat tubular member which is sized, when reduced in circumference at its upper end, to be held in place primarily by a locking tie or clip arrangement which is interengageable between an aperture formed through a few evenly spaced selected panels adjacent their upper margins and an upper rigid margin of the lamp shade.

Abstract: A universal foldable lamp shade cover which includes a uniformly pleated rectangular sheet of thin, somewhat rigid yet bendable material having a plurality of side-by-side slender elongated panels integrally connected one to another in accordion fashion along a fold line between each panel. The side margins of the pleated sheet are connected to form a somewhat tubular member which is sized, when reduced in circumference at its upper end, to be held in place primarily by a strip of double-sided adhesive tape adhered on one side around the upper perimeter opening of a lamp shade. The lamp shade cover is then adhered in position over the lamp shade to the exposed surface of the adhesive transfer tape.

Abstract: A universal foldable lamp shade overshade which includes a uniformly pleated rectangular sheet of thin, somewhat rigid yet bandeable material having a plurality of side-by-side slender elongated panels integrally connected one to another in accordion fashion along a fold line between each panel. A hole is formed through each panel adjacent its upper end through which a draw string is positioned in in-and-out fashion through alternate holes. The side margins of the pleated sheet are connected to form a somewhat tubular member which is sized, when reduced in circumference at its upper end by tightening the drawstring, to be held in place primarily by gravity over and substantially covering a lamp shade.

Abstract: A tumbling toy having an end-over-end tumbling action and including a hollow housing having spaced end caps, an outer sleeve and an inner tubular member joined to the end caps and receiving a weighted ball for rolling action therein, the weighted ball having rolling movement between the end caps to produce the tumbling end-over-end action of the housing when an exterior force is applied thereto or when the tumbling toy is placed on a downwardly inclined surface.
