20090196052 | FOLDABLE DECORATION STRUCTURE FOR LAMP ASSEMBLY - A method and apparatus for a foldable decorative structure for an object or lamp with top and bottom cones defines a container or an interior region assembly. The foldable material used includes a top panel and a bottom panel which may be separate from or integral with the top panel. Concentric semicircular scored fold lines in the foldable material are cut about vertex references and extend from one edge to another edge of the panels. A top cone is defined between the top panel vertex reference and the top panel semicircular scored fold line with the first edge abutting the second edge of the top panel, and a bottom cone is defined between the bottom panel vertex reference and the bottom panel semicircular scored fold line. An interior region between the top cone and the bottom cone can receive the lamp. The first edge abutting the second edge of the top panel and the first edge abutting the second edge of the bottom panel closes the structure of the top panel and the opposing bottom panel to surround the lamp. A number of gusset design elements disposed on the foldable material may be provided at the periphery of the top and bottom panels for structural locking further supporting the shape, strength and integrity of the decorative structure. | 08-06-2009 |
20090201684 | Light Diffuser - Disclosed is a light diffuser for reducing a glaring effect of a fluorescent light emitted by a fluorescent light source. The fluorescent light source is housed in a light fixture. The fluorescent light passes through an opening in the light fixture. The light diffuser comprises a plastic cover sheet adapted to cover the opening of the light fixture. The plastic cover sheet comprises a shaded pattern and is configured to be translucent for reducing the glaring effect of the fluorescent light emitted by the fluorescent light source. | 08-13-2009 |
20090303733 | COLLAPSIBLE LAMPSHADE - A collapsible lampshade includes: an upper frame defining an axis, and formed with a plurality of angularly spaced-apart connecting grooves, each of the connecting grooves extending in a radial direction with respect to the axis; a lower frame surrounding the axis; a plurality of support rods each having a first end pivotally connected to the lower frame, and a second end opposite to the first end, the second end being received releasably in and being slidable along a respective one of the connecting grooves; and a foldable cover connected to and extending between the upper frame and the lower frame. | 12-10-2009 |
20120134160 | INFLATABLE LIGHT DIFFUSER - A light diffuser having a holder device and an inflatable, at least partially light-transmissive box that can be attached to the holder device. The holder device includes an adapter ring formed by a light-transmissive disc, in particular a glass disc, for fastening to a spotlight and for connecting the inflatable box in a substantially airtight manner. The end of the inflatable box can be connected to the adapter ring which is surrounded by an airtight fastening ring that can be tensioned against a radially extending sealing surface on the adapter ring by at least three quick-closures, distributed about the circumference. | 05-31-2012 |
20120206925 | Collapsible Lampshade Kit - A lampshade structure is fabricated from a collapsible, semi-flexible sheet material onto which pre-fastened magnetic strips are attached. One or more collapsible spring steel strip hoop(s) is magnetically adhered to the magnetic strips to thereby create a semi-rigid tubular structure. As part of a kit in the collapsed configuration, each spring steel strip hoop is folded upon itself and the flexible sheet material with a pre-fastened magnetic strip is rolled into a small diameter. In the expanded configuration, the spring steel strip hoop(s) is unfolded and expanded, whereupon the sheet material with pre-fastened magnetic strip is wrapped around the circumference of the spring steel strip hoop(s) relying solely on magnetic attraction as a fastening system in creating a semi-rigid hollow structure. This resultant collapsed assembly is 1/9th the volume of the fully expanded structure, thereby saving considerable shipping costs, both in the labor required for packaging materials and actual transportation costs. Furthermore, insofar as the components of the lamps shade are pliable, the risk of deformation of the packaged lampshade is greatly diminished even if the container is damaged in the shipping process. As well a container 1/9 the volume of a full size container has proportionately greater strength and is less apt to suffer shipping damage. | 08-16-2012 |
20120275169 | COLLAPSIBLE LAMP SHADE - A collapsible lamp shade includes a bottom ring and a top ring with frame members connected thereto and extending therebetween. The frame members are connected to the bottom ring and the top ring by respective clips that are part of the bottom and top rings. | 11-01-2012 |
20140036512 | LIGHTING BALLOON - A lighting balloon including a deformable envelope, at least one lighting mechanism mounted inside the envelope, and a supporting and stretching mechanism for the envelope, including a plate carrying the lighting mechanism and with a longitudinally extending distancing element mounted on the plate. The supporting and stretching mechanism co-operates with an apex and a base of the envelope to stretch the envelope in the longitudinal direction. The balloon further includes at least one shape-maintaining mechanism mounted on the envelope and arranged transversely in relation to the distancing element. | 02-06-2014 |
20150029730 | LAMPSHADE - A lampshade, comprises an upper frame, a lower frame and a shade wall, wherein the upper frame is disposed on the lower frame; the upper frame and the lower frame are respectively encircled by at least three borders; positions of various borders in the upper frame and the lower frame correspond to each other respectively; the shade wall is rectangular, and is encircled on the outsides of the upper frame and the lower frame; upper edge portions and lower edge portions of various folded surfaces are respectively and correspondingly encircled on the outsides of various borders in the upper frame and the lower frame, and are respectively provided with extensions; velcro tapes are respectively disposed on inner surfaces of various extensions; magic stickers are disposed on inner side walls of various borders in the upper frame and the lower frame. | 01-29-2015 |
20150109799 | METHOD FOR FOLDING FLAT, NON-RIGID MATERIALS TO CREATE RIGID, THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURES - The present disclosure provides a cover for a light source and a method for making a cover for a light source. | 04-23-2015 |
20160131326 | Foldable Lampshade - A foldable lampshade includes a cover with a first opening at the top and a second opening at the bottom, a first frame contained in the first opening and a second frame contained in the second opening. Plural support rods are extended towards the center of the first frame, and the other end is extended towards the center and coupled to a fixing ring at the center. A sheath member is installed at a joint of each support rod connected to the first frame. The second frame includes plural moving rods corresponsive to the sheath members respectively, so that after each moving rod is swung, the other end of the moving rod is latched into each sheath member for supporting and erecting the cover. Therefore, the volume of the folded lampshade can be reduced to lower the packaging and transportation costs. | 05-12-2016 |
