ABSTRACT:
A device for supporting a decorative finial on a table lamp having a lampshade of the metal hoop-type. The lampshade is generally releasably secured to the lamp by a pair of opposed spring clips which slip over and grip the light bulb held in the socket of the lamp. The spring clips are connected by a pair of parallel wires to the circular hoop supporting the fabric of the lampshade. The device for the finial clips over the parallel wires of the spring clips and supports a finial on a less expensive hoop-type lampshade. This is in contrast to the more expensive harp and finial support provided on lampshades of higher quality lamps. The finial support comprises a plate member which is releasably secured to the parallel wires connecting between the spring clips and the circular top hoop of the lampshade. A pair of tabs releasably secure the device to the wire spokes of the lampshade. A hole in the center of the plate member is provided for threadably receiving a finial which, itself, is provided with screw threads. The device is preferably made from flexible, resilient material.
