Abstract

Abstract A desk lamp, which includes a lamp shade structure comprised of a lamp shade, a sleeve set in the lamp shade, an adjusting rod having a thread portion on its upper end, and a lamp socket; a lamp bracket being to secure the lamp shade structure to a lamp stand and comprised of two parallel rods and upper, intermediate and lower union swivels; and a pendulum having stepped holes therethrough for the setting therein of screw rod, insulator ring and tubes, and lock nuts. Through the control of the sleeve, the lamp shade is allowed to rotate on the lamp bracket. Through the arrangement of the union swivels, the two parallel rods of the lamp bracket form to separate conductive circuits for conducting electricity. Through the lower union swivel, the lamp bracket is permitted to rotate on the lamp stand.

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 291 words
A desk lamp, including: a lamp shade structure comprised of a lamp shade, a sleeve set in said lamp shade, an adjusting rod having a thread portion on its upper end, and a lamp socket, said sleeve comprising a boring bore for receiving said lamp socket, a first circular groove for the setting therein of the top thread portion of said adjusting rod, and a second circular groove having two small holes, said adjusting rod being to control the rotation of said lamp shade on said sleeve; a lamp bracket structure comprised of an upper union swivel, an intermediate union swivel, a lower union swivel, two parallel rods, and an expansion spring, said upper, intermediate and lower union swivels being each comprised of a connector, two conductive rings, two retaining rings, a screw rod, and a pair of lock nuts permitting said two parallel rods to form two independent conductive circuits, said upper union swivel being connected to said lamp shade structure by means of two C-shaped retainers which have one ends fastened in the small holes of the sleeve of said lamp shade structure and the other ends secured to the connector of said upper union swivel, said lower union swivel being connected to a lamp stand by means of a shaft which is inserted in an unitary sleeve upstanding form said lamp stand permitting said lamp bracket to rotate on said lamp stand through an angle of 360°; a pendulum backwardly connected to said intermediate union swivel through two branch rods, and comprised of two circular weights having stepped holes for the fastening therein of two insulator tubes, an insulator ring, a screw rod and two lock nuts, permitting said two circular weights to be insulated from each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 291 words
A desk lamp, including: a lamp shade structure comprised of a lamp shade, a sleeve set in said lamp shade, an adjusting rod having a thread portion on its upper end, and a lamp socket, said sleeve comprising a boring bore for receiving said lamp socket, a first circular groove for the setting therein of the top thread portion of said adjusting rod, and a second circular groove having two small holes, said adjusting rod being to control the rotation of said lamp shade on said sleeve; a lamp bracket structure comprised of an upper union swivel, an intermediate union swivel, a lower union swivel, two parallel rods, and an expansion spring, said upper, intermediate and lower union swivels being each comprised of a connector, two conductive rings, two retaining rings, a screw rod, and a pair of lock nuts permitting said two parallel rods to form two independent conductive circuits, said upper union swivel being connected to said lamp shade structure by means of two C-shaped retainers which have one ends fastened in the small holes of the sleeve of said lamp shade structure and the other ends secured to the connector of said upper union swivel, said lower union swivel being connected to a lamp stand by means of a shaft which is inserted in an unitary sleeve upstanding form said lamp stand permitting said lamp bracket to rotate on said lamp stand through an angle of 360°; a pendulum backwardly connected to said intermediate union swivel through two branch rods, and comprised of two circular weights having stepped holes for the fastening therein of two insulator tubes, an insulator ring, a screw rod and two lock nuts, permitting said two circular weights to be insulated from each other.
