3. A lamp display as defined in claim 2 wherein said securement member is a bracket that attaches to the shelf and is coupled to the lamp.
-
4. A lamp display as defined in claim 1 wherein the securement member is substantially non visual to a viewer viewing the display.
-
5. A lamp display as defined in claim 1 wherein the securement device is a bracket attached to the lamp and secures the lamp in place on the tilted surface.
-
6. A lamp display as defined in claim 5 wherein the bracket is attached to the lamp and the tilted surface to secure the lamp to the surface.
-
7. A lamp display as defined in claim 3 wherein the lamp includes a body portion having a top and a bottom, a socket provided at the top and a base provided at the bottom, a tube extended from the socket to the base and extended through the base, an opening through the shelf and the tube extended down through the opening in the shelf, an end of the tube being externally threaded and extended through the bottom of the shelf and a nut threadably engaging the threaded end and securing the tube and thereby the lamp at the bottom of the shelf.
-
8. A lamp display as defined in claim 7 wherein an electrical wire is extended from the socket through the tube and out of the tube end at the bottom of the shelf.
-

10. 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. - View Dependent Claims (11)
threadably securing the coupler onto the tube and the tube extension onto the coupler, inserting the tube extension through the opening and threadably applying a nut onto the tube extension under the shelf.
- said method comprising;
-
12. 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. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
