Assembly for hanging a candle inside a bottle

An assembly is provided whereby a candle holder is supported within a bottle and the bottle has no bottom and a single assembly supports both the candle holder and bottle.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1is a side view in cross section of the disclosed assembly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Assembly10includes a bottle12. Bottle12has a main body circumferential wall14that defines main bottle cavity32. Main bottle cavity32is open on its bottom end at lower bottle opening16. Wall14is clear to translucent. Bottle12in the preferred embodiment is a wine bottle where the bottom has been sawed off, or removed as is known in the art.

Bottle12further has incorporated thereon, bottleneck18that is open on its upper portion at upper bottle opening20. Upper ring22is above bottle neck18and has upper wire24connected thereto.

Upper wire24extends through bottleneck cavity50and connects to lower ring26positioned in main bottle cavity32. Lower ring26has lower wire28connected thereon.

Lower wire28is connected to candle support wire34at upper candle support connector30. Candle support wire34is a single wire that has separate substantially equal lengths divided at candle support connector30. Candle support wire34is connected to candle jar holder40at first candle holder support connector36and second candle holder support connector38. Candle jar holder40includes an opening37, (a drilled hole) to receive connector36.

Candle jar holder40has a floor44and a circumferal wall42that defines a candle holder cavity48that is accessed at candle holder opening46. Candle jar holder40is constructed and arranged to hold candle52on floor44within candle holder cavity48.

In use, ring22is lowered onto bottleneck18. The diameter of ring22is larger than the inner diameter of bottleneck18, to prevent ring22from entering cavity50of bottleneck18. Upper wire24has a length longer than the length of bottleneck18such that when ring22is positioned on top of bottleneck18, excess length of upper wire24extends downward into bottle cavity32. The excess length of upper wire24extending downward into bottle cavity32gravitationally allows the lowering of lower ring26into bottle cavity32. Lower ring26has connected thereon lower wire28. The lowering of ring26subsequently lowers candle jar holder40. Candle jar holder40exits main bottle cavity32at lower opening16in order to insert a new candle52into holder40or to remove a previously used candle52from holder40.

A Candle52, as is known, has candle wax54, a wick56extending upward from candle wax54, and a flame58when lighted, on said wick56. In the preferred embodiment, candle52is a tea candle52, which is placed within interior cavity48of candle jar holder40. Tea Candle52is lighted and candle holder52is placed near lower bottle opening16. Upper ring22is moved upward from bottle12and results in candle holder40being moved into main bottle cavity32. Lower ring26has a diameter greater than the inner diameter of bottleneck18such that when upper ring22is moved away from bottle12, lower ring26does not enter interior bottle neck cavity50within bottleneck18, and ring26supports bottle12at shoulder15. Ring22preferably is placed at a desirable location where assembly10is to be supported.

Upper ring22, when extended, is used to hang assembly10in a desired location. Hanging assembly10by upper ring22is secure because lower ring26in contact with interior of bottleneck18supports each of candle holder40and bottle12.

Upper ring22, upper wire24, lower ring26, lower wire28, candle holder support34, candle holder40, first candle holder support connector36, and second candle holder support connector38, are collectively referred to as hanging assembly.

Thus, the assembly is hung and displayed using a single hanging assembly that supports each of candle holder40and bottle12.

When assembly10is hung from ring22, when bottle12moves to and fro, e.g., by wind, holder40contacts inner wall14and causes a chime sound.

While the invention has been described in its preferred form or embodiment with some degree of particularity, it is understood that this description has been given only by way of example and that numerous changes in the details of construction, fabrication, and use, including the combination and arrangement of parts, may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
