COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Candle-shade Support and Candle-holder.
I, HERBERT JOHN STACY, of 70, Braemar Road, South Tottenham, London, N.,
Traveller, 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:-
This invention relates to a new or improved combined candle-shade support
and candle-holder, and has for its object the provision of a candle-shade support
combined with a candle-holder, in which the candle will always be automatic-
ally maintained at a desired elevation, thereby causing the lighted end of the
candle to be always in such proximity to the shade as to be properly shaded
thereby, while furthermore, waste and guttering of the candle will be prevented
as the latter being always held up against the rim of the candle-holder, the said
candle is thereby enabled to burn right down to the end.
And in order that this my said invention may be the more readily understood
and carried into practical effect, reference is hereby made to the accompanying
sheet of illustrative drawings, wherein;-
Fig. 1, is a front elevation of the combined shade-support and candle-holder
in use, and,
Fig. 2, a perspective view of same.
Referring to the drawings wherein like letters of reference indicate similar
parts wherever occurring throughout both figures, a represents the sconce of
the shade support, from which rise a suitable number of vertical rods b whose
upper ends are given an outward or diverging direction as at 6 and are con-
nected to the rim c¹ of the lamp shade c to support same. d represents the
candle-holder or socket having a flanged base which is mounted; upon the ver-
tical rods b so as to be capable of sliding up and down upon same. Upon the
said rods b, at the point where they begin to diverge, a rim e is fixed, such rim
having a central opening preferably formed with serrated edges e¹, for the upper
or
wick end of the candle f to project through a suitable distance. Con-
nected to the sliding flanged base of the socket d are the lower ends of two
(or more) cords or their equivalent g, whose upper ends pass over pulleys h
mounted in the rim e aforesaid, such upper ends of the cords or their equivalent
having attached thereto counter-balance weights g' for the purpose of keeping
the upper end of the candle always above the rim e as the candle burns down.
The sconce a is preferably fixed to a bracket h¹ projecting from the wall of
a room or the like, or such sconce may be provided with a suitable base to allow
of the device being stood upon a table, mantle-piece, or its equivalent.
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:
CLAIMS.

pulleys in its periphery over which pass cords provided at their free ends with
counter-balance weights, substantially as described and as illustrated by the
drawings.
2. In combined candle-shade supports and candle-holders, the vertical rods b
having divergent upper ends to which is fixed the lamp-shade rim, upon which
rod is slidingly mounted a candle-socket having a flanged base d', said rods
also having fixed thereto near their upper ends a rim e having a central open-
ing for the top of the candle to project through; in combination with cords
fixed at their lower ends to the said flanged socket and passing over pullies h in
the aforesaid rim, said cords having at their free ends counter-balance weights g',
all arranged, combined; and operating, substantially as and for the purpose here-
