Abstract
A universal foldable lamp shade overshade which includes a uniformly pleated rectangular sheet of thin, somewhat rigid yet bandeable material having a plurality of side-by-side slender elongated panels integrally connected one to another in accordion fashion along a fold line between each panel. A hole is formed through each panel adjacent its upper end through which a draw string is positioned in in-and-out fashion through alternate holes. The side margins of the pleated sheet are connected to form a somewhat tubular member which is sized, when reduced in circumference at its upper end by tightening the drawstring, to be held in place primarily by gravity over and substantially covering a lamp shade.
