Abstract
A table lamp display system secures a lamp on a tilted shelf or block for display purposes. A coupler is attached to the stub end of a center tube of the lamp. A hollow tube extension of suitable length is inserted through a slot of the shelf or block and is secured to the coupling to secure the lamp to the shelf or block. In another arrangement the lamp is secured to a configured hook that is attached to the shelf.
Claims14
An elevated lamp display comprising:
- a tilted surface provided at an elevated position in a retail outlet display area;
- a lamp including a socket connected to a body portion having a base, the base supported on said tilted surface;
- and
- a securement member securing said lamp to the tilted surface to prevent tipping of the lamp off the surface.
A method of displaying table lamps in a retail outlet wherein the table lamp has a body portion with opposed ends, a socket portion at one end, and a base portion at the other end and a tube extended from the socket portion through the body portion and terminating at a threaded end in the base portion, said base portion having a hollow interior and the tube extended into the interior with a nut threaded onto the threaded end, and an electrical wire extended from the socket portion through the tube and out of the base portion whereat an end of the electrical wire is fitted with a plug and said table lamp as situated on a residential table in a residential room defining a viewing angle for a person in the room:
- said method comprising:
- exposing the interior of the base portion;
- removing the plug from the end of the electrical wire;
- inserting the electrical wire through a threaded coupling and threadably attaching the coupling to the tube portion protruded past the nut,
- providing an overhead shelf substantially greater in height than the residential table whereby objects on the shelf are viewed at an upwardly directed angle, tilting the shelf downwardly to compensate for the difference in said viewing angle for a person in the room and the upwardly directed angle of the overhead shelf, providing an opening through the shelf sized to receive said coupling, and
- inserting the coupling through the opening and securing the coupling to the bottom of the shelf and thereby the table lamp to the shelf to thereby simulate the viewing angle for a person viewing the lamp in a residential room without visual notice of the manner of securing the lamp to the shelf.
An elevated lamp display comprising:
- a table lamp designed to be supported on a horizontal surface of a table which in turn is supported on a floor of a residential room and as supported on such a table defining an angle of visual appearance to a person standing in said residential room;
- a lamp display surface provided at an elevated position above a floor in a retail outlet display area which elevated position is substantially greater in height than the table height above said floor of said residential room thereby requiring a shopper to view the table lamp at an upwardly directed viewing angle;
- said surface tilted toward the shopper to compensate for the upwardly directed viewing angle and thereby to simulate said visual appearance;
- and
- a securement device securing said lamp to said tilted surface to prevent tipping of the lamp off the tilted surface.
