3 Claims. (Cl. 67-23) This invention relates to new and useful improvements and structural refinements in candle lamps, and the principal object of the invention is to provide a highly ornamental candle lamp, which may be readily and economically constructed by assembling together a number of conventional elements, including components of outmoded gas or electric lamps, and the like.
Some of the advantages of the invention reside in its simplicity of construction, and its highly pleasing appearance, and in its adaptability for expeditious assembly from readily available parts, as well as disassembly if the components at any time are desired to be used in their original environment.
These together with other objects and advantages which will become subsequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the invention;
Figure 2 is a group perspective view thereof, certain portions being broken away for purposes of illustration;
Figure 3 is a fragmentary sectional view illustrating the assembly;
Figure 4 is a transverse sectional detail, taken substantially in the plane of the line 44 in Figure 3; and
Figure 5 is a perspective view of the anchoring element used in the invention.
Referring now to the accompanying drawings in detail, the candle lamp is designated generally by the reference character and embodies in its construction a suitable standard 12 which is provided in the upper end portion thereof with a socket 14.
A slightly convexo-concave supporting annulus 16 rests upon the upper end of the standard 12 concentrically with the socket 14 and is formed with a plurality of aper tures 18 to receive fastening elements 20 whereby a plurality of suitable pendants 22 may be suspended from the marginal edge portion of the annulus, as shown.
An adapter 24 is positioned on the annulus 16 and has an upstanding marginal flange 26, whereby to receive and supportably engage an inverted lamp shade 28 of a conventional type. The adapter 24 is also provided with a depending base portion 30 which extends downwardly through the annulus 16 into the socket 14 of the standard 12, this base portion 30 being adapted to receive therein the lower end portion of a conventional candle 32.
Means are provided for sustaining the entire assembly together, these means consisting of a cotter-pin-shaped anchoring element 34 which extends downwardly through Patented Apr. 10, 1956 an aperture 36 formed in the bottom of the base portion 30 and is equipped with a pair of outturned prongs 34a. These prongs are securely embedded in a filler of plastic 38, such as wax, or the like, which is provided in the bracket 14.
When the apparatus is assembled, the adapter 24 is simply applied to the annulus 16 and liquid wax, or the like, is poured into the socket 14, so that when the anchoring element 34 is embedded in the wax and the wax solidified, the adapter 24 as well as the annulus 16 will be firmly attached to the standard 12.
Thereupon the lamp shade 28 may be applied to the adapter 26 and a candle (32) inserted in the base portion 30 of the adapter 24, thus completing the assembly in readiness for use.
From the foregoing, the construction and operation of the device will be readily understood and further explanation is believed to be unnecessary. However, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction shown and described, and accordingly all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the appended claims.
What is claimed as new is as follows:
1. A candle lamp comprising a standard provided in the upper end thereof with a socket, a candle receiving adapter having a base portion disposed in said socket, and means in said socket for anchoring the base portion of said adapter therein, said means including a plastic filler provided in said socket, and an anchoring element provided on said base portion and embedded in said filler.
2. A candle lamp comprising a standard provided in the upper end thereof with a socket, an annulus positioned on the upper end of said standard in register with said socket, an adapter having a bottom resting on said annulus, an upstanding marginal flange and a depending base portion adapted to receive a candle therein, said base portion being disposed in said socket through the annulus, means for anchoring said base portion in the socket, and an inverted shade supported Within the marginal flange of said adapter.
3. A candle lamp comprising a standard provided in the upper end thereof with a socket, an annulus positioned on the upper end of said standard in register with said socket, an adapter having a bottom resting on said annulus, an upstanding marginal flange and a depending base portion adapted to receive a candle therein, said base portion being disposed in said socket, means for anchoring said base portion in the socket, and an inverted shade supported within the marginal flange of said adapter, said means including a plastic filler provided in said socket, and an anchoring element depending from said base portion and including outturned prongs embedded in said filler.
