Complete Accepted, 15th July, 1887.
I, FREDERICK BARCLAY HANBURY of 35 St. Dunstans Road, West Kensington
London W., Produce Broker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The device according to my invention has for its object the prevention of the
guttering of, or dropping of grease from Candles, and also to prevent. waste by
ensuring the consumption of the overflowing liquid fats.
In carrying out my invention which is illustrated in the accompanying sheet of
drawings, I form a cylindrical or other suitably shaped sleeve A of glass, earthenware
or other suitable material, having at its upper end a contracted neck as shown at
Figures 1 and 3. Said sleeve is of such diameter as will enable it to move freely over
the candle, and has a flange at its upper end turning outwards, and inclining upwards
at any desired angle, as shown in elevation at Figure 1, and sectional elevation
Figure 3 drawn on line A, B of plan Figure 2.
At A, Figures 1 and 3 the appliance is shown with its contracted neck B, which
latter is formed for the purpose of ensuring a better grasp of the candle near the
melting point.
An appliance constructed as above described and shown in the accompanying
drawings, not only prevents the congelation of the overflowing fats, but ensures a
more complete consumption thereof; and, at the same time it is so devised as to
impart a neat and elegant appearance to Candles and Candlesticks.

page_text: An Improved Appliance for the Prevention of Guttering of Candles.
I, FREDERICK BARCLAY HANBURY of 35, Saint Dunstans Road, West Kensington,
London, W. Produce Broker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:—
The device according to my invention has for its object the prevention of
the guttering of or dropping of grease from candles, and also to prevent waste by
ensuring the consumption of the overflowing liquid fats.
In carrying out my invention which is illustrated in the sheet of drawings left with
my Provisional Specification and in the drawings filed herewith, I form a cylindrical
sleeve A of glass, earthenware or other suitable material, having at its upper end a
contracted neck as shown at B Figures 1 and 3. Said sleeve is of such diameter as
will enable it to move freely over the candle, and is provided at its upper end with a
flange a (drawing filed herewith) turning outwards and inclining upwards at any
suitable angle as shown in elevation at Figure 1, and in sectional elevation Figure 3,
drawn on line A. B Figure 2 of the drawings accompanying my Provisional
Specification. Said flange which may be plain or ornamental or semi-opaque, as may
be wished, may sometimes be extended upwards so as for instance to assume a floral
configuration or other suitable shape.
The contracted neck B. Figures 1 and 3. of the drawings accompanying my
Provisional Specification is formed for the purpose of ensuring a grasp of the candle
near the melting point, and thus retaining it in its proper position.
An appliance constructed in the form above described and shown in the drawings
accompanying my present Complete and my Provisional Specifications respectively,
not only prevents the congelation of the liquid fats, but ensures the complete
consumption thereof, thus preventing waste, at the same time that it imparts a neat
and elegant appearance to candles and candlesticks.
The cylindrical sleeve A, may also if desired be utilised with advantage to carry an
ordinary clip and frame for sustaining a shade, as shown by the dotted lines in the
drawing accompanying my Complete Specification herewith.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
In a device such as that above described, the contracted neck B. at the upper end
of the sleeve A. surmounted by a surrounding flange a, substantially as and for the
purposes herein set forth.
Dated, this 13th day of June 1907
