ANDREW J. SMITH, OF UKIAH CITY, CALIFORNIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN CANDL ESTICKS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 220,879, dated October '21, 1879; application filed March 27, 1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ANDREW JACKSON SMITH, of Ukiah Gity,,in the county of Mendocino and State of California, have invented a new and Improved Candlestick, of which the following is a specification.
The invention consists in providing a candlestick with a slitted match-box rising up in the candle-holder from the bottom of base, as hereinafter described.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a vertical section of my improved candlestick. Fig.2 is a horizontal section of the same, and Figs. 3 and 4 are .similar views of a modification of the improvement.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Referring to the drawings, A represents the bottom of the candlestick, from the center whereof rises a cylindrical box, B, the upper end or top whereof is reduced in diameter, and from this top vertical slits a extend part way down the said box, thus forming a spring at this point.
B represents the spring socket-piece, with a horizontal partition, I), dividing it into two parts, 0 d, theformer being provided with vertical' slits c, forming thus fingers f, which are bent to ward each other, so as to form a springsocket for the candle. The lower part, d, fits closely over the box B, which constitutes the match-box, the spring in the upper part whereof, bearing against the inside of the part d, holds it securely and firmly in connection with the box.
0 represents the lifter, composed of a disk fitting in the part c, and with handles 9 projecting out through the slits, whereby thesaid lifter is raised up and down.
The device is used as follows: The box B being filled with matches, the cylindrical part d is slipped down over it, shielding the matchbox from the tallow, and also preventing the matches from falling out.
A modification of the invention is shown in Figs. 3 and 4. Here the match-box B is slitted and reduced at the top, like the one previously described.
I am aware that it is not new to make the candle-holder serve as a drip-cup and cover; but
That I claim is In a candlestick, the match-box B, provided with slits and rising in the tube B from the bottom or base A, as shown and described.
