Dec. 17, 1957 J. 5. M lNNlS CANDLE LAMP cousmuc'rxon Filed July 25, 1956 Mi'lilllllll [HI I mmvroa I JOSEPH .5 McI/ YN/S BY United States Patent CANDLE LAMP CONSTRUCTION Joseph S. McInnis, Chicago, Ill., assignor to McInnis and Company, Incorporated, Chicago, 111., a corporation of Illinois Application July 25, 1956, Serial No. 599,995 2 Claims. (Cl. 240-98) My invention relates to improvements in lamp construction and more particularly to candle lamps of the type which are now extensively used in restaurants and cafes as individual table lamps.
My invention relates more particularly to the construction of the metal holders for the decorative chimneys or shades that are used in connection with this type of lamp, the lamp usually including a base in which there is a socket to support a candle and a holder portion above the base to receive the chimney or shade, the same being usually cylindrical and of a height that is suflicient to rise to a point above the end of the candle.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide a decorative and improved construction of candle lamp which includes a metal holder positioned between the base and the decorative chimney or shade.
A further object of the invention is to provide the metal holder so constructed that sufficient ventilation or draft is assured through the chimney or shade so that the candle will burn properly.
A further object of the invention is to make the metal holder and shade of a sufficient diameter so that heat from the candle will not crack or smoke up the inside of the chimney, the same being usually made of glass or suitable composition material such as fiberglass and other products.
For a more comprehensive understanding of the invention, reference is had to the following description and the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. l is a side elevational view of the complete candle p;
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the holder, the chimney being shown positioned therein in dotted lines;
Fig. 3 is a side elevational view of a modified type of holder;
Fig. 4 is a plan view thereof; and
Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view through the same taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 3.
In the embodiment of the invention which I have chosen to illustrate and describe the same, I have shown the usual base which has a central post portion 12 upon which the chimney holder 14 is positioned, the chimney 16 fitting snugly within the upper portion of the holder 14.
The holder 14 may have the reduced cylindrical portion 18 which fits upon a shoulder of the support 12, a laterally extending circular flange 30 and an open cylindrically shaped upper portion 22 for the reception of the chimney 16. While a certain amount of ventilation is provided through the openings 24 in the base portion 12, I also provide a series of elongated openings 26 in the circular flange or ledge 20 of the holder 14. With this construction there is sufiicient ventilation through the openings 26 so that a clear flame is assured in the candle; also the diameter of the chimney holding portion 22 is enlarged so that the inner wall of the cylindrical chimney is a suflicient distance from the flame and cracking or smoking up of the same is practically eliminated.
In Figs. 3 to 5 I have shown a modified form of holder in which the lower ring portion 30 is adapted to seat on top of the portion 12 of the base. I space the chimney holder portion 32 from the base by means of a plurality of vertically disposed support wires 34 which are welded or otherwise secured at their lower ends to the ring 30, the upper ends 36 of the same being bent outwardly and welded upon the upturned flange 38 of the cylindrically shaped chimney holder portion 32. Suitable decorative openings 40 may be provided in the wall of the chimney holder portion 32 as desired. The chimney or shade is thus positioned in the holder, the bottom edge of the same resting upon the tops 32 of the support members 34 as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 5.
From the above and foregoing description it can be seen that I have provided a holder or support for the chimney spaced from the base of the lamp and so constructed that complete ventilation through the chimney is at all times assured.
While I have illustrated and described a specific embodiment of the invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made in the exact details shown and I do not wish to be limited in any particular; rather what I desire to secure and protect by Letters Patent of the United States is:
1. A chimney holder for the cylindrical chimney of a candle lamp comprising a flat upright cylindrical ring adapted to be fitted over the upper end of a cylindrical post of a candle lamp base, a plurality of support wires extending first upwardly and then radially outwardly therefrom, a cylindrical chimney holder shell fastened to the upper ends of said support wires, said chimney holder being of a larger diameter than the ring member and adapted to support said chimney on the upper edges of said support wires and inside of said cylindrical shell.
2. A candle lamp comprising a cylindrical base having a reduced central upstanding cylindrical post positioned on said central upstanding cylindrical post portion, a chimney holder for a cylindrical chimney, said holder comprising a flat upright cylindrical ring portion, a plurality of support wires connected to the inside of said ring and extending first upwardly and then radially outwardly therefrom, a cylindrical chimney holder shell fastened to the outer ends of said support wires, said chimney holder being of a larger diameter than the ring member and adapted to support a cylindrical chimney on the upper edges of said support wires and inside of said cylindrical shell at a position above said cylindrical ring to effect ventilation through said chimney.
