Abstract
Abstract The signal lamp is for use in cafes, night club tables, restaurant tables, cocktail lounges and other locations for the purpose of signalling a waiter when service is desired. The lamp includes a grill-type sleeve frictionally slidable upon an illuminated holder and movable to an upper or a lower position on said holder. The sleeve has an opaque band which stops illumination and indicates when the sleeve is raised that service is desired.
