Reading lamp assembly removably and adjustably attachable to a torchiere-type lamp

A reading lamp assembly for selective attachment to a vertical pole of a torchiere-type lamp, said assembly comprising:

• an arm;
• a reading lamp mounted at one end of said arm;
• a resilient clip having a pole encircling annular portion and, a pair of parallel tabs projecting outwardly and extending from said annular portion, said annular portion being interrupted between said tabs to allow said clip to be expanded for applying to the pole from one side of said pole, said tabs having respective apertures aligned on a horizontal axis;
• and
• a fitting mounted at another end of said arm which fits between said tabs supporting said arm and lamp, said fitting including laterally projecting pins which fit within said apertures to allow limited pivotal movement of said arm around said horizontal axis, said fitting including a portion projecting inwardly with respect to said annular portion below said axis, the weight of said lamp causing said projecting portion to engage said pole and restrain said assembly from sliding down said pole.
