ANTHONY W. KRIEG, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
CAKE ORNAMENT.
Application filed June 3, 192?. Serial N0. 196,251.
My invention relates particularly to candle holders intended for ornamenting birthday cakes and the like.
The main object is to provide anattractive inexpensive candle holder which is practically indestructible and will hold candle drip.
Another object is to provide a type of construction which adapted to be en1- bodied in various ornamental designs such as, roses, orange blossoms, lilies, etc.
In carrying out the invention I -term the main body of the holder of sheet metal designed to simulate a flower. Tie interior is provided with a candle socket, the parts being so proportioned and arranged as to accommodate the dripping ot the candle and also so as to prevent the candle wick from setting lire to the cake.
The ornament is provided with an elongated pin or stem adapted to be inserted in the cake.
Fig. 1 is a vertical sectional view showing one type of construction embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view showing another modification.
The body 5 or casing is formed of sheet metal to simulate such ornamental flower or other design is desired. The candle holding socket 6 is preferably somewhat larger at the top than it is at the bottom and resilient. in the form shown in 1. this socket consists of an open helix of spring wire having a stem 7 extending through the bottom oi. the casing. The bottom 8 of the casing is somewhat con tracted to provide a recess which may be undercut to receive the lower turn of the helix so as to resiliently'holdthe helix in place without requiring solder or other mechanical operations. The helix may be sprung into place and heldby its own expansive tendency.
The lower part of the casing may also be provided with a flange-like portion 9 simulating the sepals of a flower. The upper part or mouth 10 of the casing is preferably suiiiciently larger than the candle 11 to permit candle drip to run down into the casing which thus prevents the candle from dripping or falling over on to the cake (not shown).
In the form shown in Fig. 2 the casing 12 is flared outwardly to resemble a different design. The sepals 13 may be formed in one piece separate from the petal portion 12 of the casing. The candle holder 14 may also be formed of sheet metal and is preferably split so as to provide a resilient cup-like receptacle for the lower end of the candle. This form of construction also permits a somewhat larger candle to be inserted and gripped in the tapered portion 15 if desired. The stem 16 may be formed of a separate wire and provided with a head 17, the stem passing through the bot tom of the holder 14, the casing 12 and the sepals 13.
Other modifications may be made within the spirit of my invention as set forth in the following claims.
I claim 1. An ornamental candle holder comprising a sheet metal casing simulating a flower design, a. resilient candle holder secured therein and a supporting wire extending through the bottom of the casing, said casing having a candle-drip receiving recess surrounding said socket.
2. A candle holder comprising an ornamental casing of metal simulating the design of the petals of a flower, metallic sepals around the base of the casing a candle socket within the casing, a wire extending from the bottom of the sepals, said casing having a candle-drip receiving recess surrounding said socket.
3. A. candle holder comprising a metallic casing having a restricted recess in the bottom. a candle socket resiliently expanded in said recess and a wire for mounting said holder in a cake, said casing having a candle-drip receptacle around said socket.
