Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a candle holder for receiving disc-shaped candles, in particular tealights, with a receiving body and an enveloping body formed independently of the receiving body, which is designed as an annular sleeve having a substantially L-shaped or U-shaped cross-section with a peripheral surface of the receiving body covering shell, a covering the top of the receiving body, annular sheathing and an inner edge of a receiving opening of the enveloping hemming Hüllsaum, wherein the receiving body is provided on its underside with an outstanding from an annular stacking bottom of the receiving body Zentrierfortsatz whose outer Zentrier devisr with an inner centering of the Hüllsaums corresponds, and wherein the envelope of the envelope body has a cross-sectional profile corresponding to a cross-sectional profile of the stack bottom.

  • FIG. 11 shows a stack assembly 72 formed from a plurality of candle holders 20 or 52 located on a footprint 76. Due to the fact that, as can be seen from FIGS. 3 and 8, a peripheral edge 73 of the stack bottom 27 projects beyond the lower edge 48 or 67 of the jacket 40 or 68, in the case of the stack arrangement 72 shown in FIG - See two adjacent candle holders 20 and 52 formed. In this case, a protrusion formed by the protruding part of the stack bottom 27 is selected so that it corresponds to the projection z formed by the centering extension 28 relative to the stack bottom 27, with the result that between the contact surface 76 in FIG. 11 and the lowest in the Stack arrangement 72 arranged candle holders 20 and 52 and the adjacent candle holders 20 and 52 shadow gaps 74 are formed, which give the stack assembly an aesthetically-effective structuring.
