Abstract

A lamp having a hollow clear body supported between a base and a cap, a hollow pipe carrying an electrical cord and a light socket dispensed internally of said hollow clear body between said base and said cap and removable through the open upper end of said body to allow the body to become free standing so that a color bearing material can be applied to the internal surface of the clear body.

Claims (10)

1. A color customizable lamp the color being customized according to the request of a customer, said lamp comprising:

a hollow clear body member having an open top and bottom;

a base, said bottom of said body member resting on said base;

a hollow pipe supported within said body, said second end of said pipe extending through said base member;

a light socket connected to said first end of said pipe;

an electrical cord disposed within said hollow pipe and connected to said light socket and extending from said second end of said pipe and terminating in an electrical plug;

a cap member secured to said first end of said pipe and resting on said top of said body member; and

a split washer and a nut removably attachable to said second end of said pipe to secure said hollow pipe between said base and said cap and within said body member and wherein removing said cap allows said hollow pipe, said cord, and said plug to be completely removed through the top of said body member so that said body member is free standing and can have a color bearing material applied internally thereof.

2. A lamp as defined in claim 1 , wherein said base defines an orifice therein, said second end of said pipe extending through said orifice, said orifice being of sufficient size for said electrical plug to pass through it when said pipe carrying said cord and said socket is removed through the top of said body.

3. A lamp as defined in claim 2 , wherein said split washer has a diameter greater than the size of said orifice.
