Abstract

An artistic formative lampshade assembly comprises a longitudinal support body, a fabric cover, and a transverse support body, wherein the longitudinal support is a flat body or a rod and the transverse support body formed into a circular or rectangular shape by a butt joint structure. Further, the fabric cover is made of a transparent, flexible, soft fabric. The transverse body set into the fabric cover hitches the buckles on the fabric cover and the hooks on the both ends of the longitudinal support so that the longitudinal support body is encircled by the transverse support body to form a cubical space. Therefore, the light bulb in the center of the fabric cover can keep a safety distance from the upper covering body and lower covering body. The present invention is easy to pack and transport, and enables the light illuminates evenly for both practical use and ornamental art.

Claims

1. An artistic formative lampshade assembly, comprising:

a longitudinal support body including a set of symmetrical arch-shaped bracket having an upper connector and a lower connector on both upper and lower ends thereof, multiple hooks arranged on the outer side of the upper connector and the lower connector, a bulb mounted base connected to the center of the longitudinal support body;

a fabric cover made of a transparent, flexible, soft fabric, a largest external periphery thereof forming a circular or rectangular enlarged part, along the periphery of the enlarged part, the fabric cover is divided into an upper covering body and a lower covering body respectively having at least two cutting seams from the center of the fabric cover to the enlarged part in order to form at least two pieces of liftable cover surfaces, multiple buckles on the inner side of the cover surfaces provided for buckling up the hooks; and

a transverse support body set to be a circular or rectangular frame body according to the shape of the enlarged part, the frame body composed of two symmetrical frame strips having a butt joint structure on both ends for connecting to each other, the transverse support body mounted on the inner margin of the enlarged part to prop up the enlarged part and generate a tension force by hooking up the buckles of the upper and lower cover surfaces and the hooks of the upper and lower connectors so that the transverse support body encircled the longitudinal support body to form a cubical space, and at least a light bulb installed in the bulb mounted base in the center of the fabric cover for keeping a safety distance from the upper and lower covering bodies.

2. The artistic formative lampshade assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the two arch-shaped brackets form a symmetrical frame body with the narrow ends and a wide body, and a longitudinal through-hole is provided for a power cord of the bulb mounted base.

3. The artistic formative lampshade assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transverse support body is a circular frame body composed of two symmetrical semi-circular frame strips, and one end of the butt joint structure is a sleeve and another end thereof is an inserted column for butting and jointing each other.

4. The artistic formative lampshade assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transverse support body is a rectangular frame body composed of two symmetrical U-shaped frame strips, and one end of the butt joint structure is a sleeve and another end thereof is an inserted column for butting and jointing each other.

5. An artistic formative lampshade assembly, comprising:

a longitudinal support body including a vertical rod having an upper connector and a lower connector on both upper and lower ends thereof, multiple hooks arranged on the outer side of the upper connector and the lower connector, a bulb mounted base connected to the center of the longitudinal support body;

a fabric cover made of a transparent, flexible, soft fabric, a largest external periphery thereof forming a circular or rectangular enlarged part, along the periphery of the enlarged part, the fabric cover is divided into an upper covering body and a lower covering body respectively having at least two cutting seams from the center of the fabric cover to the enlarged part in order to form at least two pieces of liftable cover surfaces, multiple buckles on the inner side of the cover surfaces provided for buckling up the hooks; and

a transverse support body set to be a circular or rectangular frame body according to the shape of the enlarged part, the frame body composed of two symmetrical frame strips having a butt joint structure on both ends for connecting to each other, the transverse support body mounted on the inner margin of the enlarged part to prop up the enlarged part and generate a tension force by hooking up the buckles of the upper and lower cover surfaces and the hooks of the upper and lower connectors so that the transverse support body encircled the longitudinal support body to form a cubical space, and at least a light bulb installed in the bulb mounted base in the center of the fabric cover for keeping a safety distance from the upper and lower covering bodies.

6. The artistic formative lampshade assembly as claimed in claim 5, wherein the vertical rod has a longitudinal through-hole provided for a power cord of the bulb mounted base.

7. The artistic formative lampshade assembly as claimed in claim 5, wherein the transverse support body is a circular frame body composed of two symmetrical semi-circular frame strips, and one end of the butt joint structure is a sleeve and another end thereof is an inserted column for butting and jointing each other.

8. The artistic formative lampshade assembly as claimed in claim 5, wherein the transverse support body is a rectangular frame body composed of two symmetrical U-shaped frame strips, and one end of the butt joint structure is a sleeve and another end thereof is an inserted column for butting and jointing each other.
