ABSTRACT:
An improved lamp shade having a plurality of glass panels each having a plurality of side edges which are angularly inclined to one another to form corners therebetween, including a panel support structure consisting of a corner collar extending about the corners of each panel and connector means for interconnecting the collars to secure panels with respect to one another. The connector means consists of an elongated body disposed within a narrow passage between adjacent panels. The connector means has hook-shaped portions at either end thereof connected to adjacent corner collars of adjacent panels to connect the panels together. The elongated body of the connector means has abutting surfaces disposed at opposite sides thereof extending longitudinally thereof in a face-to-face abutting relationship with each of the adjacent side edges of the glass panels to maintain the side edges of the panels in a spaced parallel relationship. The abutting surfaces of the elongated body having a sufficient longitudinal extent to distribute loads applied thereto along a substantial length of the side edges of the glass panels thereby to prevent damage to the panels during shipping and handling.
