HUGH R. BERRY, 0E GREENVILLE, MISSISSIPPI.

ELECTRIC-LIGHT HANGER.

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HUGH R. BERRY, a citizen of theUnited States, and a resident of Greenville, in the county of Washington and State of Mississippi, have invented a new and Improved Electric-Light Hanger, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to means intended for hanging incandescent lights. R

The object had in view is to construct'a hanger of that general character whichin ad: dition to being adjustable, extensible, and made to effectively support the light as adjusted by improved means is inexpensive to manufacture and as an article heat in appearance.

The invention consists, of the special con struction, arrangement, and combination of parts shown by the accompanying drawings and hereinafter fully described, the novel features being pointedout in the claims.

" In the drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal ed to receive any common form of incandescent light, and the upper end of the tube B is fashioned into spherical form,-as at C, with the latter having anopening D on its upper side. I!

The spherical end 0 of the tube'B isarranged in a suitable seat E of a short tubular section F and with both ends thereof forming a common ball-and-socket joint, as well section F, I securely'arrange oneend of a tube G, whose other or upper end is-provided with a'hollow'cap I-I, made. adapted to be secured to any base or support and to inclose any of the usual electric-wire rosesor ceiling-blocks, as will be understood. In the tubular section F, I arrange a coil or other spring I, with the same exerting pressure againstthe spherical head or ball 0. A tubular weight J is arranged inthe tube G, and I' rotatably sup:

port therein near its upper end asuita blygrooved pulley K. It will be understood that the weight J is intended to have free movement in the tube G. 1

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 20, 1905. Serial No. 270,575.

Patented Dec. 5, 1905.

In further carrying out my invention I employ a grooved pulley L in the cap H androtatably support the same by any approved means.

With the parts constructed and arranged as shown and described in the use ofmy hanger the light or electric Wires are extended down under the pulley K, upwardly over the pulley be noticed upon reference to Fig. 1 of my drawings that when the tube A is shoved to telescoping position into'the tube B the weight J will be lowered down the tube G and that further, that it is designed to have the tubular weight counterweight the light globe and the .movable tubes, and thereby hold them to an extended'adjustment of the hanger.

It is apparent when the telescoping tubes A B areswung out of alinement with the longitudinal-plane of the tube G that by force of the spring I against the spherical end or ball 0 on the tube G the ball is pressed into its socket and through resulting frictional contact the telescoping tubes. may not only be freely adjusted laterally, butheld as adjusted. It will be noticed that insulation is not used .in the make-up of my hanger-and that by reason of its special or peculiar construction the light may beefieo'tively supported in a raised or lowered position and at any angle within the scope of the movement permitted by the ball-and-socket joint, connecting the upper and the lower or telescoping tubes.

Having thusdescribed my invention, What is claimed as new, and desired to be secured by Letters Pa'tent,'is I 1. An electric-light hanger'consisting of, an upper tube, having a securing-cap at one end and a tubular section arranged on its other. e'nd,a socket in the tubular section, a tube having one end made spherical adapted to seat in saidsocket, a tube telescoping in the latter tube, a spring holding said spherical tube so i end yieldingly seated in its socket, an elec-- tric-light-globe socket at the outer end of the telescoping tube, a tubular weight in the upper tube, a' pulley on the weight, a similar- IIO pulley at the securing end of the upper tube, circuit-wires. extending from a fixed connection down through the tubular weight and all the latter tube, a Weight arranged in the upsald tubes, to the globe-socket, the circuitper tube, having free movement therein, and I0 Wires being arranged around the pulleys, submeans connecting the Weight and lowermost stantially as described. tube, substantially as described. 5 2.
