CANDLE-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters, Patent No. 649,986, dated May 22, 1900.
' Application filed August 24, 1899. Serial No. 728,321. on model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ALFRED W. HOFFMANN, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of New York, in the borough of Bronx and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Candle and Shade Holders, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved candle and shade holder of simple and effective construction which can be used with any suitable stand and in which the shade can be conveniently lowered as the candle is gradually consumed without being in danger of ignition, as with the well-known candle-holders used heretofore on dinner-tables; and the invention consists of a candle=holder which is composed of a base-plate having downwardly-bent spring-prongs and upwardly-extending sleeves and upwardly-extending heli cally-bent wires supported by said sleeves, said wires being provided with helically-bent portions forming a socket for the candle and with upwardly and outwardly bent springarms forming a support for the shade, as will be more fully described hereinafter and finally pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings,Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my improved candle and shade holder shown as supported by a stand. Fig. 2 is a side view of the candleholder shown detached from the supportingstand. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the base-plate with its spring-prongs and sleeve, and Fig. 4 is a top view of the blank from which the candle supporting base plate is made.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
ing-plate D is provided at its corners with outwardly extending shoulders 01 and with upwardly extending sleeves d, which are closed around the lower ends of wires E, which are bent above the sleeves, so as to form helical portions E, that form an elastic socket for the lower end of the candle F. The wires are provided above the helically-bent portions E with outwardly-flaring extension= arms E which are preferably nicked at the outside at suitable distances from each other, so as to retain the metallic supporting-ring of the shade S and prevent the sliding down of the shade on the spring-arms. Two opposite spring=arms E and their helically bent portions E are preferably made of one piece of wire E, the lowermost portion of which extends diagonally across the base-plate D, each half being then held firmly by one bent-up sleeve (2 of the base=plate D, so that the wires are firmly supported by the plate D. The base-plateD and its sleeves are made from a blank D (shown in Fig. 4,) which is composed of four radial portions (1 which are bent downwardly, so as to form the spring prongs D, and four shorter arms at, intermediate therewith, having enlarged ends, from whichthe shoulders d and supporting-sleeves d are formed.
My improved candle-holder is composed of only three parts namely, the supporting base-plate D, with its integral spring-prongs D, shoulders d, and sleeves d, and the two bent-11p wires which form the four helicallybent portions adjacent to the supportingplate D and the spriiig=arms on which the shade is supported. My candle and shade holder can thus be made with great facility by means of dies and simple wire 'bending machinery and furnished at a very low price, so as to supply a very ornamental candle and shade holder for the dinner-table, candelabra, and other applications in which the candle has to be securely held in position in connection with or without a shade, as the case may be.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent-'- 1. A candle and shade holder composed of a supporting-socket and drip-cup, asupporting base-plate having downwardly-extending spring=prongs extending into the socket,
ICC
outwardly-extending shoulders and upright sleeves above said shoulders, and candleholding wires, supported. by saidplate and sleeves, substantially as set forth.
2. A candle-holder composed of a supporting base-plate provided with outwardly-extending 'shouldersland. upwardly-extending" sleeves above said shoulders, and candleholding wires supported by said sleeves, sub stantially as set forth. I
a supporting'base-plate having outwardlyextending shouldersand upwardly extending sleeves, and candle-holding wires supported by-said sleeves and provided withhelically bent portions forming a socket for the candle and .ou'twardly fl'aring spring-arms for sup porting-the shade, substantially as set forth. '4; Acandle. and shade holder, composedof a supporting plate having outwardly-extend-- ingshoulders and upright sleeves above said v shoulders, and wire spring-prongs supported by'saidsleeves', and formed of helically-bent portions and outwardly --fiaring -arms, said armsbeing nicked at their outer'edges, sub- 2 5 stantially as set forth. 7
5. A supporting base-platefor the wires of a candle-holder, composed of a central portion,downwardly-extending side prongs, out- .Hwardly-extending shoulders at th'ecorners of 0 i the central portion, and upwardly-extending sleeves above said shoulders, substantially as set forth. i 3. A candle and shade holder, composed of 6. A blank for the supporting base-plate of a candle-holder, composed of a central por- 3 5 tion or web, radial prongs having rounded-0E ends, and intermediate shorter arms having enlarged rectangular ends, substantially as set forth.
In testimony that Iclaim the foregoing as 40 my invention "I have signed my name in 'presence of two'subscribing witnesses; l
