APPLICATION FILED 0OT.10, 1912.
Patented Feb.25,1913.
JACOB JACOBSON, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
HOLDER FOR VOTIVE CANDLE-STANDS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 25,1913.
Application led October 10, 1912. Serial No. 724,982.
To all 'whom it may concern:
Be 1t known that l, JACOB JaooissoN, a citizen of the United States of America, re-
siding in New York, in the borough of Manhattan, county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Holders for Votive Candle-Stands, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved holder or socket for the candles of votive Candelabra and candlestands, whereby the end of the wick, together with the liquid wax from the end of the candle, is dropped into a suitable receptacle when the candle is burned down to the lower or butt end of the same.
Votive Candelabra and candle-stands are used in Catholic and other churches in connection with a pan or tank containing water for receiving the liquid wax formed by the ends of the candles when the same are burned down to their lowerinost or butt ends. These pans or tanks are objectionable as, besides the liquid wax and wick dropped into the same, they receive dust, insects and the like, and form an objection to the use of these votive Candelabra and stands, both in a sanitary sense as well as esthetic sense.
The object of this invention is to do away entirely with the water pan or tank of these Candelabra and candle-stands, and introduce in place thereof, for each candle, an individual water-containing vessel, which vessel is adapted to receive the melting wax and wick-rernnant when the candle is burned down to its lowerinost end, and which is closed when not in use so as to exclude dust and other impurities, and present always a clean and attractive candelabrum or stand; and for this purpose the invention consists of a holder for votive candle-stands Vor candelabra comprising a socket attached to the supporting-bar, a water-containing cup seated in said socket, a drip-cup having a central opening and being' seated in said water-cup or receptacle, and a candle-socket having a central opening for the candle seated in the exterior socket; and the invention consists further of certain details of construction which will be fully described hereinafter and finally pointed out in the claims.
' In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a side-elevation of a portion of a votive candelabrum or candle-stand, which isa plan-view of the same, and Figs. 3 and L are detail vertical sections of two individual candle-holders.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the different figures of the drawing.
Referring to the drawing, a represents the supportingring-shaped bar of my improved votive candelabrum or. candle-stand,- which bar is preferably made of brass or other suitable metal and supported on an upright center-post or column b. Below the ringshaped bar a are arranged one or more bars al of larger diameter than the bar a. The bars a and al are arranged vertically 011e above the other. To the bars a and al are attached a plurality of individual candleholders, which are composed each of four parts: a lower socket cl which is attached by means of a fastening screw l1 to the bar a, an intermediate water-containing cup (Z2, a drip-cup Z3 which fits into the water-cup cl2 and is provided with a shoulder d* having a center-opening (Z5, the shoulder serving for supporting the drip-cup cl3 in the water-containing cup, while the opening (Z5 serves for permitting the insertion of the candle-holder d into the same. The candle-holder (ZG is provided with an outer tubular center-portion Z7 and an inner tubular center-portion (Z8 for receiving the lower or butt end of the candle and permitting the liquid wax and wick-remnant to be dropped into the watercontaining cup (Z2 when the candle is burned down to the lower end, the heat of the tubular portion (Z8 liquefying the end of the candle until finally the liquid wax and wick are dropped together into the water of the cup. The upper drip-cup Z3 and candleholder il are preferably soldered together, but they can be made in separate pieces, if desired. 1When candles of larger size are used, a glasscup c with the wickedwaxbody is placed into the drip-cup d, as shown in Fig. 4, in which case, however, it will not be required to fill the water-cup with water as no drip is formed. This enables, however, the candle-holder to be used for the longer-burning candles supplied in glass-cups.
Bv the use of the individual candleholders with individual water-containing cups, the objectionable water pan or tank is dispensed with and a much neater and more attract-ive votive candelabruni or candlestand obtained.
I claim:
l. In a votive candelabrum or Candlestand, a candle-holder comprising a supporting-socket, a Water-containing cup, a dripcup seated in said Water-Cup, and a candlesooket seated in the drip-cup and provided with a tubular center-portion, the candlesoeket and center-portion being open at their lower ends.
2. In a votive candelabrurn or candlestand, the combination, with the supportingbars, of sockets attached to said bars,Water Y containing cups seated in said sockets, de-
tachable'drip-cups seated in said oups, and eandle-sookets seated in said drip-cups.
3. In a votive eandelaloruni or Candlestand, a candle-holder comprising` a supporting-socket, a Water-containing cup seated in the saine, an upper drip-cup provided with a shoulder seated on the rim of the Water-containing cup, and a candle-holding socket provided With an inner tubular p0rtion, the inner tubular portion permitting the droppingof the melted Wax and Wick into the Water-cup when the Candle is burned down to its lower end.
In testimony that I claimv the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name in presence of tivo subscribing Witnesses.
JACOB JACOBSON.
