Abstract
A method for making a lampshade (1, 30) of the type which comprises at least one support ring (3, 4) and a side wall (5) secured to the support ring (3, 4) by a ligature (7), wherein the support ring (3, 4) comprises a plurality of ligature receiving means (16, 40, 44) at spaced apart locations along the support ring (3, 4), and a plurality of spaced apart apertures (15) are formed in the side wall (5) adjacent the support ring method comprising the steps of inserting respective portions of the ligature (7) sequentially into the wall apertures (15), and securing the respective portions of the ligature (7) to the ligature receiving means (16, 40, 44) on the support ring (3, 4).
Claims24
A method for making a lampshade of the type which comprises at least one support ring having a plurality of ligature receiving means at spaced apart locations along the support ring, and a side wall secured to the at least one support ring by a ligature, the side wall having a plurality of spaced apart apertures formed therethrough for receiving the ligature, the method comprising the steps of:
- inserting respective portions of the ligature sequentially into the wall apertures, and
- securing the respective portions of the ligature to the ligature receiving means on the corresponding support ring.
A lampshade comprising:
- a side wall having a top and a bottom edge and a plurality of ligature receiving apertures formed in the side wall at spaced apart intervals adjacent at least one of the top and bottom edges,
- at least one support ring located adjacent at least one of the top and bottom edges of the side wall, and
- a ligature securing the side wall to the at least one support ring,
- wherein
- a plurality of spaced apart ligature receiving means are provided on the at least one support ring aligned with the respective corresponding ligature receiving wall apertures, and
- a plurality of portions of the ligature extend through the respective wall apertures and are engaged on the respective ligature receiving means on the support ring for securing the side wall to the at least one support ring.
A lampshade comprising at least one support ring and a side wall secured to the support ring by a ligature wherein the support ring comprises a plurality of spaced apart ligature receiving means, and a plurality of spaced apart apertures are formed in the side wall adjacent the supporting for receiving the ligature, the ligature extending sequentially through the apertures and being secured to the respective ligature receiving means, the ligature being passed over at least one ligature receiving means at least every second time the ligature is passed through one of the apertures without the need for winding the ligature in helical form around the support ring.
