IL307662A - menorah for tea light - Google Patents

Description

4 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A simple menorah is made of two layers of thin metal or tin plates, with the space between them about the height of a small tea lamp.

In the upper layer of the plate, there will be eight holes of the appropriate size for a small tea light. Inside those holes, you can insert a small tea lamp that will sit on the lower plate.

It is also possible to make two brace strips that pass under the upper brace on both sides of the length of the upper brace, the width of each brace being slightly below the holes, and the candles that will be inserted into the upper holes sitting on these two braces.

In addition to the eight holes, there will be room for a "Shamash" candle at the height of the top plate, so the "Shamash" candle will remain higher than the other candles. For the sake of the stability of the "Shamash" candle, a relief will be made inside the plate of the size suitable for a heating candle. It is also possible to make a frame the size of a heating candle, with a "Shamash" candle placed inside the frame.

The innovations in the invention This invention is innovative because it provides a convenient, safe, and simple solution for lighting a tea light during the Hanukkah holiday.

Also, the use of a tea light does not require building a lamp with cups, and it is possible to make a lamp with holes without any receptacle, just a smooth surface from the bottom, and the bottom surface does not have to be the entire width of the hole either.

Heating candles are far superior to regular candles because they are stable, flat, and safe; they are placed in the menorah without the need for glue; they do not leak; there is no fear of heating from candle to candle and bending during burning; the candles stand evenly; there are no wax residues on the menorah; and there is no dirt in the finish of the burning. ד"סב םומיח תורנל הייכונח Menorah for tea light דירפ יכדרמ 2 ד"סב םומיח תורנל הייכונח Menorah for tea light FIELD tOF tTHE tINVENTION The present invention generally relates to lighting candles on the Jewish Hanukkah holiday .

Background tto tthe tInvention On Hanukkah, which the Jews celebrate every year for eight days, candles are lit on top of a menorah. The menorah is built with 8 cups to place eight candles, and in addition, there is one cup to place another candle which is called "Shamash". The purpose of a "Shamash" candle is that since it is forbidden to enjoy the light of a candle lit for a mitzvah, one more candle that is not a mitzvah candle is added, and thus there is also light from a "Shamash" candle. The "Shamash" candle should stand higher than the other candles to distinguish it from the other candles.

The custom is to light one candle and one "Shamash"candle on the first day. On the second day, light two candles and one "Shamash" candle. On the third day, light three candles and one "Shamash" candle.

This is repeated daily until the eighth day, a total of candles are lit; 8 candles and one "Shamash" candle.

According to tradition, the minimum candle lighting time is half an hour, and many people, particularly 3 children, use menorahs designed for small candles that are lit for about half an hour to an hour; these are small and inexpensive candles. The menorahs intended for these candles are usually very simple and cheap.

In recent years, nerons, known as "tea lights" or heating candles, have been invented, which are very convenient to use and much safer than ordinary stick candles. These heating candles are typically produced for a two‐and‐a‐ half‐hour burn time, but they can also be obtained in a one‐hour burn time, which is an ideal size for replacing simple stick candles.

The advantage of these candles is that they are stable, flat, and safe; they can be placed in the menorah without being glued to it; they do not drip; and there is no risk of heating from candle to candle. There is no risk of bending while burning, no wax residue on the menorah, no dirt at the end of the burning, and the candles stand uniformly.

To date, no menorah has been invented that would fit a tea light. There are various facilities on the market for placing a tea light, but a solution has not yet been found to implement a simple menorah designed for a tea light.

This invention arose from the need to create a simple and inexpensive menorah that could be lit with a tea light.

Searching the patent databases, we did not find any patent that could solve the above problem.
