ABSTRACT:
A lamp fixture comprising a first figurine mounted to a base and a second figurine connected relative to the base by means of a flexible member. A first lamp socket and a lamp shade are disposed at the top of a lamp pole. A second lamp socket is disposed within the interior of the first figurine. Movement of the second figurine to a first and a second position actuates an electrical circuit which supplies household current via a power cord to the first and the second lamp sockets, respectively, to light lamp bulbs contained therein. The electrical circuit comprises reed switches which are actuated by a magnet disposed within the second figurine. Each reed switch triggers a thyristor such as a triac or two silicon controlled rectifiers connected in parallel to provide a path for the household current to flow to the respective lamp socket. Movement of the second figurine to a neutral position precludes the household current from flowing to either the first or second lamp socket. The foregoing abstract is merely a resume of one general application, is not a complete discussion of all principles or operation or applications, and is not to be construed as a limitation on the scope of the claimed subject matter.
