Improvements in Candlesticks.
WATKIN CARTER, 73 & 75, Lombard Street, Birmingham, General Tin Plate
Worker & Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of my improvements in candlesticks is to so form the candlestick
socket, with fangs, which shall act as a clip in holding various size candles. In
carrying out my improvements in candlesticks, I form the usual common bed
room candlestick, or any other candlestick except that part of the candlestick,
which forms the socket. This I cut in the ordinary way from sheet metal, but
with fangs thereto at one end. These fangs, when the socket is made, & fixed
in position are above the nozzle of the socket, & act as a spring clip for holding
the candle. This socket piece, with its fangs can be made in one piece of metal,
or may be made in more than one piece, with the fangs being bulged, & their tops
tapered outwards so that the candle can be easily inserted between the fangs &
gripped by them.

Improvements in CandiestICKS.
WATKIN CARTER, 73 & 75, Lombard Street, Birmingham, Manufacturer, 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 object of my improvements in candlesticks is to so form the candlestick
socket, with fangs which shall act, as a clip in holding various size candles.
In carrying out my improvements in candlesticks I form the usual common bed
room candlestick, or any other candlestick-except that part of the candlestick,
which forms the socket. This I cut in the ordinary way from sheet metal, but
with fangs thereto at one end & with small tits near where the nozzle is fitted, &
to over lap on same. These fangs when the socket is made & fixed in position,
are above the nozzle of the socket, & act as a spring clip, for holding the candle.
This socket piece, with its fangs can be made in one piece of metal, or may be
made in more than one piece, with the fangs being bulged, & their top ends tapered
outwards, so that the candle, can be easily inserted between the fangs & gripped
by them.

page_text: In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will more particularly
describe it, with the aid of the accompanying drawings in which similar parts
are marked with like-letter of reference.
Fig. 1 represents an elevation of the blank of the socket, before being formed
into a socket of the candlestick.
Fig. 2 represents an elevation of the socket, before being attached to the candle-
sticks-bottom. Fig. 3 represent the plan of the nozzle of a candlestick to be
fitted on to the socket.
Fig. 4 represents an elevation of the socket in the bottom of a candlestick
a blank for forming the socket, b socket, c nozzle of candlestick, d the fangs,
e tits bent to hold nozzle on socket, f candlesticks bottom or base.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my invention,
& in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:—
1st. A socket for a candlestick as set forth, described & illustrated in the
accompanying drawings.
2ndly. A socket, for a candlestick, with fangs bulged outwards & inwards, to act
as a spring, to clip any size candle.
