Abstract: An insert device for receiving an artistic medium thereon for use with a lampshade. The device may include an insert configured to be used in association with a lampshade. The insert may include a first side and a second side. A design may be located on the first side of the insert, where the insert with the design is configured to be drawn on using an artistic implement. The insert may be made from a translucent material that is capable of receiving and retaining an artistic medium thereon. The artistic medium can be erased or otherwise removed from the translucent material. The design on the insert may be used in association with a lampshade such that it is exposed for viewing in association with the lampshade when the insert is in a three-dimensional shape.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an interchangeable lampshade system. A lampshade system includes an outer shade having a first frame disposed about a first perimeter of the outer shade and a second frame disposed about a second perimeter of the outer shade. The outer shade further comprises a structural side comprising a first side attached to the first frame and a second side attached to the second frame. The lampshade system includes an inner shade configured to be disposed about an interior surface of the structural side of the outer shade. The lampshade system includes a socket component configured to attach the outer shade to a lamp socket, wherein the socket component is attached to one or more of the first frame of the outer shade or the second frame of the outer shade.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a lamp fitting apparatus system. A system includes a polygonal socket connector comprising a first tapered fitting, wherein the polygonal socket connector is configured to connect with a lamp socket. The system includes a polygonal bracket comprising a second tapered fitting, wherein the polygonal bracket is configured to attach to a lampshade. The system is such that the second tapered fitting of the polygonal bracket corresponds with the first tapered fitting of the polygonal socket connector, such that the polygonal bracket and the polygonal socket connector form a compressing fitting configured to connect the lampshade to the lamp socket.

Abstract: A lampshade system includes a lampshade cover and a support member. The lampshade cover includes a sheet of plastic material comprising a first end and a second end. The lampshade cover includes a design printed on the plastic material. The lampshade cover also includes a fastener configured to selectively fasten a first end of the sheet to a second end of the sheet to hold the lampshade cover in a three-dimensional lampshade shape. The design is exposed for viewing when the lampshade cover is in the lampshade shape. The support member is configured to selectively receive and support the lampshade cover relative to a lamp body, the support member comprising one or more arms extending from the lamp body.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a lamp shade cover includes feeding a planar sheet of plastic material to a printer. The method may include printing a design for one or more lampshade covers on the planar sheet of plastic material using the printer and die cutting the planar sheet to create one or more cut-out portions shaped to be bent, folded, or rolled into a three-dimensional lamp shade cover shape. The cut-out portions may include a portion of the design printed using the printer. The method may also include attaching a fastener to a first end and a second end for selectively fastening the first end to the second end to hold the cut-out portions in the three-dimensional lamp shade cover shape.
