Volume 1 / Part 7 — Shade-Holder Bracket for a Gas Jet

The Bracket for Holding the Shade is Made from an Old Umbrella Rib

An old umbrella rib makes a very effective shade-holder bracket for a gas jet. The ends of the rib are bent to fit around the pendant upright and the support end is shaped into a hook. It can be quickly applied or removed. The outer end is bent into a hook to hold the shade. The rib can be cut to fit a pendant arm of any length.
