LAM P-BRACKET.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 661.324, dated November 6, 1900.

Application filed June 3, 1899. Serial No. 719,202. (No models To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, EDWIN M. ROSEN- BLUTH and ALBERT S. CARTER, of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp-Brackets, whereof the followingis a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

Our invention is particularly adapted for use upon the steering-head of a bicycle or similar vehicle-frame, one of the objects of our invention being to provide a bracket capable of supporting a lamp upon that portion of the frame in such manner as to permit of the lateral oscillation of a brake-rod extending from the front-wheel fork in front of said head.

Generally stated, our invention comprises a pair of opposed adjustable jaws adapted to be clamped upon a vehicle-frame and extend laterally therefrom, in combination with an eccentric member comprising at one extremity a threaded shank by which said opposed jaws are connected and at the other extremity a bearing for a lamp.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan View of a convenient embodiment of our invention clamped upon the steeringhead of a vehicle and showing the relative position of the brake-rod. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the form of our invention shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an end view of the adjustable arm. Fig. i is an inner face view of one of said jaws.

The jaws A and A are conveniently maintained in proper relation by the transverse engagement of the T-headed lug a upon A in the longitudinal slot at in A. Said jaws are clamped upon the vehicle head X by means of the member'B, which is flanged at b to engage the jaw A and provided upon its threaded shank B with the wing-nut O to engage the jaw A. Said shank is entered through the apertures a a in the respective jaws, the former being fitted to the squared shoulder Z) of the shank, so as to prevent the rotation of the latter when in clamped position. In the form of our invention illustrated the member B extends forward of the jaws A A and terminates in a lamp-bearing B so shaped that it may be disposed at right angles to the steei'inghead, directly in front thereof, but in such relation therewith as to permit of the lateral oscillation of the brake-rod a) in correspondence with the movement of the fork-head X, to which it is secured. However, the provision of the squared shoulder 19 upon the member 13, which may be detachable, permits of the connection of the parts with said lamp-bearing in either of four positions. For instance, said hearing may extend as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1.

We do not desire to limit ourselves to the precise form of our invention which We have shown and illustrated, as it is obvious that various modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit of our invention.

We claim 1. In a lamp-bracket, the combination with a clamping-jaw provided with an aperture for a lamp-bearing member, and a longitudinal slot, of a second clamping-jaw provided with anaperturc for a lamp-bearing member, and a T- headed lug for engagement with the slot of the first jaw aforesaid, a lamp-bearing member secured against rotation in the aperture of one of said jaws, and provided with a threaded shank entered through the aperture in the other of said jaws, and a nut fitted to said shank to eifect the relative adjustment of said jaws, substantially as set forth.

2. In a lamp-bracket, the combination with opposed clamping-jaws, of a member comprising at one extremity an adjustable connection for said jaws, and a lamp-bearing at the opposite extremity of said member, the axis of said lamp-bearing being non-coincident with the axis of said adjustable connection, substantially as set forth.

3. In a lamp-bracket, the combination with opposed clamping-jaws, of a member comprising at one extremity an adjustable connection for said jaws, a lamp-bearing at the opposite extremity of said member, the axis of said lamp-bearing being non-coincident with the axis of said adj ustahle connection, and means to vary the position of said lampbearing, with respect to said jaws, and to secure the same in predetermined relation, substantially as set forth.

4. In a lamp-bracket, the combination with two opposed jaws of rigid construction, of a hinge connection between said jaws, a lampbearing member having a threaded shank entered through said jaws, a flange upon said 1 member opposed to one of said jaws, a nut predetermine the position of said member with respect to one of said jaws, substantially as set forth.

6. In a 1amp-bracket,the combination with a member provided at one extremity with a bearing for the lamp, of a flange intermediate of the length of said member, a shoulder adjoining said flange, a jaw removably fitted to said member in relation predetermined by the said shoulder, a second jaw opposed to the first jaw in hinged connection therewith, a screw-threaded shank upon said lamp-bearing member extending through said jaws, and

a nut upon said shank, arranged to adjust saidjaws independently of said lamp-bearing, substantially as set forth.
