Lighting apparatus

Abstract

A lighting apparatus includes a support member, a lighting unit mounted on one end of the support member, and a lamp shade mounted on the lighting unit. The lighting unit includes a containment member having a mounting portion mounted on the support member, a flared wall portion extending from a periphery of the mounting portion in a first direction away from the support member, and a partition plate disposed inside the flared wall portion in a second direction transverse to the first direction so as to define a closed accommodating space and an open accommodating space on two sides of the partition plate. The partition plate is formed with a cord hole. A socket member is disposed in the open accommodating space for mounting a light bulb thereon. An insulated conductive cord member has a first end portion connected electrically to the socket member, and a second end portion that extends into the closed accommodating space via the cord hole in the partition plate. A power cord member has a first connecting end to be connected electrically with a power supply, and a second connecting end that extends into the closed accommodating space and that is connected electrically to the second end portion of the insulated conductive cord member.

 a mounting bracket disposed in said open accommodating space and including an elongated middle portion mounted on said center portion of said partition plate, and first and second end portions disposed at opposite side of said middle portion and bent respectively relative to said middle portion so as to form first and second anchoring surfaces, respectively;  
 a pair of socket members retained respectively on said first and second anchoring surfaces and adapted for mounting a respective light bulb thereon;  
 a pair of insulating conductive cord members, each having a first end portion connected electrically to a respective one of said socket members, and a second end portion extending into said closed accommodating space via a respective one of said cord holes; and  
 a power cord member having a first connecting end adapted to be connected electrically to a power source, and a second connecting end extending into said closed accommodating space and connected electrically to said second end portions of said insulated conductive cord members.  
 
     
     
       2. The lighting apparatus as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said mounting portion of said containment member is formed with a mounting post that projects into said closed accommodating space and that has said center portion of said partition plate and said middle portion of said mounting bracket mounted thereon. 
     
     
       3. The lighting apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said lamp shade has one end extending into said open accommodating space and mounted on said partition plate. 
     
     
       4. The lighting apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said partition plate has a screw post unit that extends into said open accommodating space, and said lamp shade has a skirt portion with a mounting side that extends into said open accommodating space, and that is formed with a fastening lug unit for mounting on said screw post unit of said partition plate, said skirt portion diverging in a direction away from said partition plate. 
     
     
       5. The lighting apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said support member includes a lamp base and an upright lamp post having a lower end mounted on said lamp base and an upper end with said mounting portion of said containment member mounted thereon, said lamp post being formed with an axially extending cord passage for extension of said first connecting end of said power cord member therethrough. 
     
     
       6. A light fitting for an incandescent lighting arrangement having a pair of incandescent bulbs, comprising:
   a containment member, comprising:      an upper body having a bottom wall provided with a center portion at a first center thereof, and formed with a communicating hole; and        a wall portion extending from a periphery confining said bottom wall;          a power cord member led through said communicating hole and into said wall portion to form a first contact terminal;        a mounting bracket including an elongated middle portion that defines a mounting area for securement to said center portion and that has a bottom wide surface and a top wide surface, and first and second end portions disposed at opposite sides of said middle portion; said first and second end portions being bent, respectively, to an acute angle relative to and towards said bottom wide surface of said middle portion along two parallel lines which incline at a predetermined angle relative to a perpendicular line crossing a longitudinal direction of said middle portion so as to form first and second anchoring surfaces, respectively;        a pair of socket members adapted to receive the incandescent bulbs;        a pair of insulated conductive cord members, each having one end portion connected conductively to a respective one of said socket members, and another end portion led to form a second contact terminal coupled to said first contact terminal; and        a lampshade having an upper wall with a second center, a skirt portion, and a through opening to permit said mounting bracket to extend downwardly and outwardly of said upper wall and into said wall portion, and to permit alignment of said mounting area of said mounting bracket with said second center when said upper wall of said lampshade body is mounted to the light fitting.     
     
     
       7. The lighting fitting as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said acute angle ranges between  38  to  52  degrees. 
     
     
       8. The lighting fixture of  claim 1 , wherein said predetermined angle ranges between  26  and  36  degrees. 
     
     
       9. The lighting fitting as defined in  claim 6 , wherein said acute angle ranges between  38  to  52  degrees. 
     
     
       10. The lighting fixture of  claim 6 , wherein said predetermined angle ranges between  26  and  36  degrees. 
     
     
       11. A lighting fixture for an incandescent lighting arrangement having a pair of incandescent bulbs spaced from an open- accommodating space, comprising:      a containment member having a communicating hole;        a power cord extending through said communicating hole;        a mounting bracket supported by the containment member and including an elongated middle portion, and first and second end portions disposed at opposite sides of said middle portion, said first and second end portions being respectively bent to an acute angle relative to and towards said middle portion along two parallel lines which incline at a predetermined angle relative to a perpendicular line crossing a longitudinal direction of said middle portion so as to form first and second anchoring surfaces at said first and second end portions, respectively;        a pair of socket members respectively mounted on said first and second anchoring surfaces, adapted to receive the incandescent bulbs, and electrically connected to said power cord; and        a lampshade supported by the containment member, said lampshade having an opening,        wherein said mounting bracket is disposed in the open - accommodating space.
