CANDELABRUM.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filedJuly 21, 1914. Serial No. 852.228.

To alt whom it may concern:

Be it known that T, JOHN MARKOWSKY, a subject of the Czar of Russia, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Candelabra, of which the following is a specification.

The general object of this invention is to improve the construction of the candelabrum for which Letters Patent No. 593,111 were granted me November 2, 1897, so as to render the device more compact, neat, and less expensive to manufacture, and also to accommodate candles and vigil lamps, or either of these. And to these ends the invention consists in arranging the rods that hold the arms in their various adjusted po sitions, near the pivotal connection between the arms and standard, providing an attractive casing for each of the candle holders; and further providing socket members adapted to take either a candle or a vigillamp, and arranging these sockets on the candle holders so as to fasten the casingsagainst displacement. I

Other objects will appear and be better understood from that embodiment of my invention of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, in which Figure 1, is a side elevation of the candelabrum. Fig. 2, is a vertical section through one of the candle holders showing the combined vigil lamp and candle socket attached thereto. Fig. 3, is a horizontal section of the candle holder taken on'the line 3-3 of Fig. 2. Fig. i, is a perspective view of the combined vigil lamp and candle socket,

showing the same detached from the candle holder. Fig. 5 is a perspectiveview of the clamping member for the outer cylindrical member of the candle holder. Fig. 6, is a perspective view of the outer cylindrical member showing the same detached from the candle holder. Fig. 7, is a perspective view of the sleeve which embraces the standard of the candelabrum, showing the sam detached from the standard. Referring to the drawings in detail numeral 1, designates the base of the candelabrum. Numeral 2 a hollow standard having its lower end secured to the base and its upper end open for the reception of a rod 3 which is adapted for vertical adjustment within the standard and is held in its various adjusted positions by means of a set screw 4;. The rod 3 is provided adjacent its upper end with a transverse slot within which are pivoted for vertical adjustment, a pair of arms a each of which comprises as shown, a pair of parallel bars 66 which are arranged in spaced relation, one above the other, the inner ends of the bars of one arm being pivoted to the adjacent ends of the bars forming the other arm by means of pivot pins 77, which enter the opposing walls formed by the slot in the r0 3.

Embracing the rod 3 at a point intermediate its ends and below the arms 5, is a sleeve 8 which is secured to the rod by means Patented Feb. S3, 1215.

of a set, screw 9. The sleeve 8 has integrally formed thereon and at diametric opposite points a pair of laterally projecting lugs 10, each of which receives a rod 15, and a set screw 16 is provided for holding the rod in different adjusted positions. The rods 15 have their upper ends connected to the arms 5 by means of the link members 13, (so as to effect the simultaneous adjustment of the arms 6, when the rods 15 are manipulated). Mounted upon the arms 5 and arranged at chosen intervals are a plurality of candle holders 17, each of which consists of a rectangular member 18 which is provided with a slot 19 for the reception of the bars 6 of one of the arms a, a hollow cylindrical outer member 20 which encircles the said inner member and is spaced therefrom and provided with a pair of oppositely disposed slots 21, for one of the arms a. The cylindrical member is held in its applied position by means of a clamping member 22, which is located at the upper end of the cylindrical member and is provided with a concentrically disposed offset portion 23, which is received by the upper end of the cylindrical member and has-its outer surface frictionally engaged by the inner surface of the walls of the outer member. end of the cylindrical member is removably received by a cap 24 which is provided concentrically with a screw 25, which has threaded engagement with the inner member 18 of the holder. 1

The various candle holders are pivoted to the respective arms of the candelabrum by means of pivot pins 26, which pass through the bars 6 of the arms a. This pivotal mounting of the candle holders, permits the holders to assume vertical positions in any The lower phase of adjustment of the arms a, as illustrated by Fig. 1, in the drawings. Each of the holders has mounted upon its upper end a combined candle and vigil lamp socket 27, consisting of a pair of concentrically disposed socketmembers integrally formed with each other and arranged in superimposed relation. The lower of these as shown at 28 has its walls tapered whereby to form a socket for the candle and has its lower end bearing on the offset portion 23 of the clampingmember. A screw 30 extends through the bottom of the lower socket and through the offset portion of the clamping member and enters the upper end of the inner member of the holder, whereby the candle and vigil lamp socket is held in position and operates to fasten the clamping member against displacement. The uppermost socket 31 is of a larger diameter than the lower 27 and is adapted to receive a vigil lamp 32, as shown in Fig. 1, when it is desired to display on the candelabrum a vigil lamp insteadof a candle or both-of these.

What I claim as new is 2-- 1. In a candelabrum the combination with a standard, and arms pivotally connected to the standard of a sleeve embracing the standard and provided with a pair of lugs having passages therethrough, members adjustably mounted within the passages of the lugs, means connecting the members to the arms, a means for securing'the members in their adjusted positions.

Copies; of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Washington, D. 0.

2. In a candelabrum, the combination with an arm; of a candle holder including an inner member connected to the arm, an outer member encircling the inner member and spaced therefrom, and a means connecting the said members together at one end and adapted for holding the said members in uniform spaced relation.

3. In a candelabrum, the combination with a standard and an arm pivotally connected to the standard; of a candle holder including an inner member pivotally connected to the arm, an outer member encircling the inner member and recessed to receive the arm, and means connecting the said outer and inner members together at one end and adapted to hold the said members in uniform spaced relation.

4. In a candelabrum, the combination with an arm; of a candle holder including an inner member connected to the arm, an outer member encircling the inner member and spaced therefrom, means supporting the said outer member and connected to one end of the inner member, andmeans connected to the opposite end of the inner member for holding the said outer and inner members in uniform spaced relation.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
