Abstract: A table lamp suitable for displaying a base-mounted finial has an adapter plate for supporting both a finial assembly and a pipe and wiring assembly using a single hole in the base. The adapter plate enables the pipe to be mounted outside the base perimeter while the hole is used for a finial assembly. The visual benefits of finials may thereby be extended to table lamp bases without defacing or modifying the visible surface of the base.

Abstract: A finial-adaptive pull chain has a bead chain disposed between an adaptor and a spring assembly. The adaptor retains the terminal bead of the bead chain, has external threads on the lower portion for receiving a finial and has a gripping surface on the upper portion to facilitate hand-manipulation during attachment. The upper portion has a diameter no greater than the lower portion so that the adaptor is substantially hidden from view when a finial is fully attached and does not unduly interfering with the decorative requirements of any end-user. The spring assembly has a spring for absorbing dynamic tensile forces applied during activation and deactivation to reduce the risk that the end-user will damage the electrical components of the associated device.

Abstract: A night light adaptor has threads for interchangeably receiving decorative finials and a plate mount for shielding a night light bulb from view and interchangeably receiving different artistic displays. The adaptor extends the aesthetic benefits of finials and surface-mountable materials into a night light environment.

Abstract: Adaptors and devices for displaying decorative finials. The adaptors and devices of the invention include devices for engaging various table lamps and utilitarian objects, including table lamps having clip-on lamp shades and European standard table lamps, to extend the visual benefits of decorative finials beyond the application of a single finial atop an American standard table lamp.
