CANDLE HOLDER AND HANGER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 3, 1908.
Application filed August 5, 1908. Serial No. 447,152.
To all whom fit may concern:
Be it known that I, VICTOR ENGMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Denver, in the county of Denver and State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Candle Holders and Hangers, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is to provide a very simple form of candle holder and hanger for Christmas trees.
The invention consists mainly of a device constructed from a single piece or length of wire which is bent to provide a spiral frame adapted to receive the candle, said frame having a suspending member at its upper end, and a supporting hook or member at its lower end, the suspending member being designed to engage over a limb of the Christmas tree while the supporting liook will support an ornament or any other obj ect which constitutes a weight holding the device in an upright position.
For a full understanding of the invention reference is to be had to the following detail description and to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a view showing the invention applied to the branch of a Christmas tree; Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the holder and hanger alone, and Fig. 3 is a top plan view.
Throughout the following detail description and on the several figures of the drawings similar parts are referred to by like reference characters.
An essential feature of the present invention resides in its simplicity.
The device is made from a single length of wire of suitable gage, said wire being bent spirally to provide a spiral body or frame 1. The frame l may taper toward one endthereof and is adapted to snugly receive the lower end of a candle such as commonly used for lighting purposes for Christmas trees. The spiral frame 1 forms a socket snugly receiving the lower portion of the candle in an evident manner. The upper end of the wire from which the frame 1 is made is extended laterally and thence downwardly to form a suspending member 2 adapted to engage over a branch of the tree, or a similar support, in order to suspend the holder therefrom. Substantially in longitudinal alinement with the member 2 and formed by bending the lower end of the wire of the frame 1 upwardly is a supporting hook 3. The hook 3 is provided for a dual purpose, first as a convenient means to support an ornament on the tree, or a piece of fruit such as an apple, or the like, and secondly this hook 3 by connecting an ornament with the frame 1 secures a weight element to the lower portion of the frame which is desirable in order that the holder may always maintain an upright position in supporting the candle 4. The members 2 and B are preferably in alinement because this arrangement is advantageous from the standpoint of manufacture and furthermore it is desirable that the point Of suspension and support of the frame 1 be located substantially in alinement for Obvious reasons.
The spiral frame l is practically rigid but in order to make the end portions more rigid than the body of the frame, the coils of each end of the frame are in contact, as shown at 1a and 1b. The close arrangement .of Jthe coils at 1a and 1b makes the members 2 and 3 more rigid also and this is desirable.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is:
As an article of manufacture, a candle holder and hanger for Christmas trees comprising a single length of wire bent to form a spiral frame to receive a candle, the spiral coils at the upper and lower ends of the frame being in contact while those of the body of the frame are spaced or separated, the ends of the frame being thus made more rigid than the immediate portion, opposite ends of the wire of the frame being bent to form a downwardly projecting suspending member at the upper end of the frame and an upwardly extending supporting hook at the lower end of the frame, and the said suspending member and supporting hook being in longitudinal alinement.
In testimony whereof I aiiiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
VICTOR ENGMAN.
