Description
Background of the Invention
Generally, the conventional lampshade frame is directly installed on the lampshade. Its main problem is that the height of the frame can not be adjusted so as to meet the need for different height of any type of lampshade; on the other hand, partly because the specification of each lamp holder is different from each other, partly because the fixing base of the lampshade frame can not be changed, it can not fit the lamp holder of different specification. As shown in FIG. 1, the frame of a conventional lampshade are secured in the lampshade, therefore, because the lampshade frame can not be folded or piled up, so the finished lamp product will take a larger space, and it will cause a greater cost to store, move and deliver the lamp, and make itself inconvenient to handle.
Summary of the Invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a compound lampshade frame which can meet the need for different height of any type of lampshade, which can fit the lamp holder of different specification, easy to be folded and piled up so as save the cost for storage and delivery and to be convenient to handle.
The structural characteristics of the invention can be described as follows:
Design a lampshade frame to be a compound lampshade frame which consists of a fixing base connected to a lamp holder, two fixing sleeves, a unit of extending harps, and a lampshade, the characteristic of the frame is that the extending harp can be either moved up and down or positioned in the sleeve so that it can fit various types of lampshades, small or large, high or low; and the fixing base can be changed according to the specification of a lampholder, so it is easy to mass produce the present invention, and easy to assemble, fold, store, deliver and manipulate the compound lampshade frame so that its cost can be lowered down.

FIG.2 shows a sectional view of the invention.
FIG.3 shows a sectional view of an embodiment of the invention.
Detailed Description
As shown in FIG. 2,3, a compound lampshades frame consists of a fixing base 1 fastened to a lamp holder and a frame fastened to the fixing base 1, its characteristic is that the fixing base 1, shaped like a ring, has a round opening 11 which fits the lamp holder and has two fixing wings 12 on it two sides, and two sleeves 2 are respectively screw fastened on the fixing wings 12, two extending harps are respectively fitted into the sleeves 2, and a finial 4 is disposed on the top of the extending harps 3, the frame is comprised of the sleeves 2, the extending harps 3, and the finial 4, wherein the sleeve 2 is a hollow pipe which is fastened on the wing 12, the sleeve 2 has screw holes 2a3b, at its both ends, the extending harp 3 has two rods 3a, 3b, which can insert into the hole 2c of the sleeve 2 and can move up and down along the hole 2c; the rods 3a, 3b can be fastened in the sleeves 2 by screw 2d; a lampshade 5 and a finial 4 are mounted on the top of the extending harps 3, the lampshade 5 is fastened on the finial 4 by means of screw 4a and screw cap 4b.
The lampshade frame is fitted between the lamp holder and the lampshade, by means of moving the extending rods 3a, 3b of the harp 3 up and down at the hole 2c, the frame can be adjusted to fit the height of small or large lampshade, and a series of the fixing base with opening in different size can be provided so that lampholder of different size can use the fixing base with opening in different size and that the invention can meet various needs for a lampshade of different height.
To make the compound lampshade frame easy to be folded and piled up, a vertical bracket 12a is provided on the fixing wings 12 of the fixing base 1, the vertical bracket 12a has a screw hole 12b and a screw 12c is provided to fasten the sleeve 2 and the wing 12 easily; they are also easy to take apart when the finished frame is to be folded or piled up, so it will take little space and be easy to store and de liver, and so it can save much cost.
Claims
The invention claimed is:
