Holder for detachably mounting a glass bowl of an electric lamp fixture

摘要

A holder for detachably mounting a glass, electric lamp bowl includes a cylindrical wall means on which an opening in the glass bowl is adapted to be received. A plurality of tilting levers each having a clamping arm and an actuating arm are pivotally mounted on the cylindrical wall means and arranged to be actuated by the glass bowl during installation of the latter to clamp the glass bowl in place on the holder. The tilting levers are actuated by the rim of the glass bowl only after the glass bowl has been substantially centered on the cylindrical wall means, thereby insuring that all of the tilting levers are actuated upon installation of the bowl.
