Claim Text:
1. A combination package of an adjustable candle holder jar and poured wax candle therein comprising: said package combining a plurality of stacked, removable rings forming a height adjustable jar containing a poured wax candle therein; said rings are shaped and assembled to form a smooth inner vertical surface of said jar adapted to receive poured wax forming a solidified poured wax candle therein, said rings being compression (i.e. frictionally) fitted together to form a tight, height adjusted jar about a vertical axis; said rings including a bottom ring, a plurality of intermediate rings, and a top ring; said bottom ring, said plurality of intermediate rings and said top ring each having a hollow interior collectively forming said accessible hollow interior of said jar having said smooth inner vertical surface of said jar to accommodate said poured wax candle; each intermediate ring comprising an outer annular wall made up of an upper section and a lower section, said lower section having a central portion and a lower sleeve extension, said upper section having a shaped inner surface to receive the lower sleeve extension of a ring directly above, said upper section having a larger outer diameter than said central portion and said lower sleeve extension of said lower section; said plurality of intermediate rings forming an outer shape of said jar being of alternating outer surfaces of said upper sections and said central portions of said lower sections presenting a ribbed outer surface of said jar; said bottom ring comprising a flat bottom surrounded by an annular wall forming an open package for holding said solidified poured wax candle, said annular wall including an upper section having a shaped inner surface for receiving the lower sleeve extension of an intermediate ring immediately above; said bottom ring, said intermediate rings and said top ring forming said package comprising said solidified poured wax candle within said candle holder jar, said package having a height adapted to be adjusted by addition or removal of intermediate rings to compensate for different size candles and change in candle height during use; all of said rings being fitted vertically adjacent together to form a height adjustable jar about a vertical axis; and wherein said lower sleeve extension of each of said rings has a cylindrical outer surface, said upper portion of each of said rings has a cylindrical inner surface, and each of said lower sleeve extensions forms a compression (i.e. friction) fit with said upper section into which it is received.
