  • Publication number: 20130322097
    Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment, a torchiere style lamp having a knock down profile includes a base; a pole attached at a bottom end to the base; and a socket assembly attached to a top end of the pole. The lamp also includes a torchiere style shade formed of a flexible material and including a slit that defines separate first and second shade edges. Wherein in a knock down condition, the shade has a rolled up construction and the shade assumes a fully assembled condition when the first and second edges are joined to one another along the first and second shade edges to form a shade that is open along its top and bottom. The shade is coupled to the socket assembly being disposed between a center hub and a main socket part of the socket assembly that surrounds and extends radially outward from the center electrical socket member.

  • Publication number: 20060077672
    Abstract: A lighting apparatus includes a gooseneck support arm covered with a resilient colored decorative sleeve. The sleeve is made from woven elements oriented with respect to each other so as to define an outer wall and an inner wall, where the inner wall snugly fits circumferentially about at least a portion of the gooseneck. The weave and material of the sleeve is such that after the removal of a re-orientating, axially-deforming force exerted on the sleeve by a radial bending motion of the gooseneck, the sleeve returns to an original size and shape. The lighting apparatus can include multiple gooseneck arms each covered by a jelly sleeve, and be configured as a desk lamp, a floor lamp, a wall lamp, or a clampable lamp.

  • Publication number: 20060072327
    Abstract: A lighting apparatus includes a gooseneck support arm covered with a resilient, elastomer colored decorative jelly sleeve. The decorative jelly sleeve is made from a resilient elastomeric material and circumferentially surrounds the gooseneck. The jelly sleeve imparts a compressive force on the gooseneck creating, in combination with a coefficient of static friction, a frictional force that is greater than an axially deforming force exerted on the sleeve by a radial bending motion of the gooseneck. The jelly sleeve is capable of returning to an original shape and size after removal of the axially deforming force. The lighting apparatus can include multiple gooseneck arms each covered by a jelly sleeve, and be configured as a desk lamp, a floor lamp, a wall lamp, or a clampable lamp.

  • Patent number: 6866403
    Abstract: A lamp for use on a table or a floor comprises a base, an intermediate spacer coupled to the base and rotatable with respect thereto, a light source, and a shade disposed over and about the light source. The shade has a surface shaped to insinuate a lipstick and additionally has a partially translucent portion acting to diffuse light emanating from the lamp. The lamp operates such that rotation of the intermediate spacer causes the lamp shade to move along a linear axis. A method for adjusting the light pattern emanating from such a lamp further comprises energizing the light source, rotating the intermediate spacer, and moving the shade along the linear axis while maintaining the light source energized.

  • Publication number: 20040221501
    Abstract: A picture frame system comprises a base, a telescoping support coupled to and extending from the base, a mount and a trim panel supported at an end of the support away from the base. The support is comprised of at least first and second coaxially joined tubes. The second tube being axially moveable relative to the first tube. *The first and second tubes can be joined by one or more intermediate coaxially joined tubes. The support has sufficient rigidity to support a load defined by the mount, trim panel, and a picture. Optionally, a plurality of telescoping supports can be coupled to and extend from the base, and each can have a different axial length. Also optionally, the mount and trim plate can be configured so that the trim panel is magnetically seatable on the mount for retaining the picture between the mount and the trim panel.

  • Patent number: RE39810
    Abstract: A lighting apparatus includes a support member, a lighting unit mounted on one end of the support member, and a lamp shade mounted on the lighting unit. The lighting unit includes a containment member having a mounting portion mounted on the support member, a flared wall portion extending from a periphery of the mounting portion in a first direction away from the support member, and a partition plate disposed inside the flared wall portion in a second direction transverse to the first direction so as to define a closed accommodating space and an open accommodating space on two sides of the partition plate. The partition plate is formed with a cord hole. A socket member is disposed in the open accommodating space for mounting a light bulb thereon. An insulated conductive cord member has a first end portion connected electrically to the socket member, and a second end portion that extends into the closed accommodating space via the cord hole in the partition plate.
