'My present inventionrelatesto the nut through Avhich the screwa passes. This nut I construct in twoparts. The part b consists of anut, which is of .distance upon the outside.

suliicient lengt-h to extend through the metal, porce- Iain, or other material of which the candles'tick is made-,at either side of the socket, and project a short The end of the part b whioh cornes inside the socket is provided with a Af1ange,'e, whichbears against the metal or porcelain, whilethc nut itself passes through -a hole in the stem B of the Candlestick,

Thsnut isprovided with screw-threads inside, through which the screw a passes, and the portion which projects outside of 4the stern is also provided with threads on its outside, upon which acollar or nut, t', is screwed until it binds against the stein and draws the ange e firmly against the inside ofthe stem, thus ixing the nut in its place.
