PATENT OFFICE.
MICHAEL BRASSILL, OF HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOB TO JOSEPH P. SMITH, OF SAME PLACE.
CANDLE-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Ifatent No. 260,830, dated July,11, 1882.
- Application filed February 23, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
- Be it known that I, MICHAEL BRASSILL, of Hartford, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Candle-Holders, of which the following is a description, refer; ence being had to the accompanying draw ings, where- Figure 1 is a side view of my device. Fig. 2 is a top view of same. Fig. 3 is a view in central vertical cross-section on line w as, showing the device in usein a socket.
My invention relates to that class of candlesticks or candle-holders in which means are provided for adjusting the holder to candles of various diameters; and it consists of elastic spring-fingers for holding the candle, curved to approximate the shape of the candle, and arranged concentrically upon a guard-plate.
It further consists in downward-projecting elastic catches attached to the same plate and so arranged as to spring into and fit various sizes of sockets.
In the accompanying drawings, theletter 0, denotes a disk, preferably of metal, as brass, slightly dished and bearing centrally-located upward projecting elastic fingers 11, also of metal. These fingers are so shaped as to grasp the candle that is thrust between them without damage to the surface of the candle, and
are so arranged as to allow the melted candleto flow between them near their bases and accumulate on the guard-plate a.
40 thrust into the socket (1 their outward pressure keeps the holder securely in place.
One form of my device (the one shown in the drawings) has the disk or guard-plate perforated for the pieces which form abovethe plate the fingers and below the plate the catches, and they are secured to the plate by soldering, brazing, or any ordinary means.
" In order to prevent theabove-described catches from becoming set in case they are forced into a very small socket, I insert between them a rubber or other elastic ball or spring to re-enforce them and insure rebound when the device is removed to be used in a larger socket. These fingers and catches are preferably of metal, as spring brass or steel.
Bymean's of my improvement candles can be used in large chandeliers or in fixed brackguard-plate bearing upon one side elastic spring-fingers whereby a candle is held, and upon the other side elastic spring-catches for attaching the device to a socket, all substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
2. In a candle-holder, the combination of a guard-plate, a, elastic fingers b, elastic catches c, and socket cl, all substantially as described.
MICHAEL BRASSILL.
