Abstract: A collapsible shade assembly for a lamp includes a shade structure of generally truncated conical configuration having open small and large eds, and having a plurality of clips permanently secured within each of its ends in circumferentially spaced positions therein. Small and large rigid rings fit within corresponding sets of the clips, and are snap-fastened there, for supporting the rings from the shade structure and also causing the rings to hold the shade structure in its normal expanded shape. For purpose of storage or shipment, the rigid rings are removed, and the shade structure with clips appended thereto is rolled into a much smaller volume.
