Abstract: A lamp includes a support for a socket and a generally parabolic diffuser surrounding the socket and extending upwardly therefrom. An arm extends upwardly from the support for supporting a generally frusto-conical shade at its upper end. A screen covers the upper opening in the shade, and a wire cage guard extends downwardly from the screen to the upper end of the diffuser.

Abstract: A medical examining lamp includes a first tubular standard mounted on a base and extending upwardly therefrom and a second tubular standard telescopingly received within the first standard and having a lamp socket mounted at its upper end. A spring assembly is mounted on the lower end of the second standard and includes first and second leaf springs mounted in and diverging outwardly from one end of the second standard. The leaf springs are retained in position by deforming the end of the second standard inwardly into engagement therewith. An arcuate tip is formed on the outer end of each leaf spring for resilienly engaging the inner surface of the first standard.
