Patent Offices, 24, Rue du Mont Thabor, Paris, in the Empire of France,
and 38, Porchester Terrace, Bayswater, in the County of Middlesex,
Patent Agent, for the Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN SAVE-ALLS."
A communication from Jacques Jean Frinault, residing at Quartier

Sealed the 30th January 1866, and dated the 16th September 1865.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Henri Adrien Bonneville
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the
16th September 1865.
I, HENRI ADRIEN BONNEVILLE, of the British and Foreign Patent Offices,
24, Rue du Mont Thabor, Paris, in the Empire of France, and 38, Porchester
Terrace, Bayswater, in the County of Middlesex, Patent Agent, do hereby
declare the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN SAVE-ALLS,". a
communication from Jacques Jean Frinault, a person residing at Quartier
Montmartre, Paris, in the Empire of France aforesaid, to be as follows:-
My Invention relates to an improved save-all or apparatus whereby short
ends of candle may be consumed in such a manner as to yield an equal light
up to the moment when the tallow, composition, or wax is quite exhausted."
It consists of a collar, which may be placed on a real or imitation candle, or
otherwise suitably mounted. This collar is of metal, and is provided at its
upper end with a concave hollow, which commences at within a short distance
of the upper edge of the collar, where a small ledge exists on which the end
of the candle is placed. When the candle end is almost consumed the hollow

page_text: is filled with melted tallow or wax, but as the end of the wick falls to the
bottom of the hollow, and the sides of the latter are sufficiently open to give
air to the same, the wick burns as long as a drop of the melted matter
remains.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent, filed
by the said Henri Adrien Bonneville in the Great Seal Patent Office
on the 31st January 1866.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, HENRI
ADRIEN BONNEVILLE, of the British and Foreign Patent Offices, 24, Rue du
Mont Thabor, Paris, and 30, Porchester Terrace, Bayswater, in the County
of Middlesex, Patent Agent, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by 'Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the Sixteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, in the twenty-ninth year of Her
reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the
said Henri Adrien Bonneville, Her special licence that I, the said Henri
Adrien Bonneville, my executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others
as I, the said Henri Adrien Bonneville, my executors, administrators, and
assigns, should in any time agree with, and no others, from time to time
and at all times thereafter during the term therein expressed, should and
lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention
for "IMPROVEMENTS IN SAVE-ALLS," a communication from Jacques Jean
Frinault, a person residing at the Quartier Montmartre, Paris, in the Empire
of France aforesaid, upon the condition (amongst others) that I, the said
Henri Adrien Bonneville, my executors or administrators, by an instrument in
writing under my, or their, or one of their hands and seals, should particularly'
describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner'
the same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed in the Great
Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and immediately after the
date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Henri Adrien Bonneville, do hereby
declare the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
My Invention relates to an improved save-all or apparatus whereby short
ends of candle may be entirely consumed in such a manner as to yield an
--

page_text: equal light up to the moment when the tallow, composition, or wax is quite
exhausted. It consists of a collar, which may be placed on a real or imitation
candle, or otherwise suitably mounted. This collar is of metal, and is provided
at its upper end with a concave hollow, which commences at within a short
distance of the upper edge of the collar, where a small ledge exists on which
the end of the candle is placed. When the candle is almost consumed the
hollow is filled with melted tallow or wax, but as the end of the wick falls to
the bottom of the hollow and the sides of the latter are sufficiently open to
give air to the same, the wick burns as long as a drop of the melted matter
remains.
To make the said Invention more fully understood, I will proceed to
describe several modes of carrying the same into effect, referring for the same
purpose to the accompanying Drawings.
Fig. 1 of which represents in separate elevation the candle end D, the
save-all C, A, B, E, and the false or imitation candle F; Fig. 2 is a section
of the whole of the above parts assembled; Fig. 3 & 4 are sections and
plans of the save-all, the hollow part of which is formed with a screw thread
to facilitate fixing the candle end.
In Figures 1 & 2, A is the body of the save-all; B, the hollow in which
the last drops of wax or tallow run; C, the ledge or interior border of the
save-all; D, the candle end; E, the hollow existing at the lower part of the
save-all; and F, a real or imitation candle for holding the same.
In Fig. 3 the save-all is provided with an outside border to prevent the
tallow or wax from running over. The lower part of the save-all may be cut
out into any suitable form in order to have a certain amount of elasticity.
Having thus described the nature of the said Invention, and the manner
in which the same is to be performed, I claim the improved save-all constructed
as above described and represented in the accompanying Drawings.
In witness whereof, I, the said Henri Adrien Bonneville, have hereunto
set my hand and seal, this Twenty-seventh day of January, in the year
of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-six.
H. BONNEVILLE. (L.S.)
