IMPROVEMENTS IN CANDLE STICKS FOR DOMESTIC AND OTHER PURPOSES
Year: 1885

page_text: WILLIAM GREEN 86 Greenfield Road Harborne n Birmingham Machinest do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN CANDLE STICKS
FOR DOMESTIC AND OTHER PURPOSES to be as follows:-
My invention consists in making candle sticks out of Brass Iron tin or any
suitable metal I insert a Thimble kind of Cup in the top of the stem or case
of the candle stick and from underneath the cup to bottom of Stem I propose
making a narrow slot on one side into which a small pin works up and down and
which pin is fitted at or close to the bottom part of an outside case which is made
to slide up and down the inner one or stem as required, the pin working in slot is
to prevent the outer case from being pulled off the inner case or stem.
The cup inserted in the stem is intended to retain the last remnant of the candle
as it where in a reservoir and so prevent waste In some instances I make a
A groove instead of a slot in the inner case and a corresponding A groove at the
bottom of outer case to fit the A in the inner case instead of a pin as before
mentioned to form a stop to prevent the pulling off of outer case from that of the
inner case.
I also form a spring when found necessary in or out of its own material or
attach one thereunto by any suitable means or a Rack and spring catch or any
othe device which will prevent the outer case from slipping down that of the
inner case in the event of it getting loose.

Improvements in Candle Sticks for Domestic and other Purposes.
I, WILLIAM GREEN of 86 Greenfield Road Harborne n Birmingham Machinest
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN CANDLE
STICKS FOR DOMESTIC AND OTHER PURPOSES and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement, that is to say :-
The object of my said invention is to form in any way suitable à Receptacle or
Reservoir in the top of Socket or stem of the Candle stick to receive the Candle
and retain the remnant of the same and amongst othe methods of which this object
is attainable, I propose by preference to insert and fix by any suitable means a
thimble kind of cup or receptacle in or on the top of socket or stem of the Candle
stick which I make out of Brass tin Iron or any suitable material. From just
below the cup to bottom of socket or stem I form a narrow slot on one side
into which a small pin works up and down and which pin
fitted to and near
the bottom part of an outside case which is made and intended to slide up and
down the socket or Inner case as required The pin is to prevent the outer case
being pulled from off that of the inner case. The Cup or Receptacle inserted in
the socket or stem is intended to hold the Candle and retain as in a reservoir the
last remnant of the Candle and so prevent waste.
The nature of my said invention will be more readily understood by aid of the
drawings hereunto annexed reference being had to the letters and figures.
Fig. 1 as shown in drawing is Candle stick drawn full size, showing thimble
kind of Cup or Receptacle. 'a' fixed to or in the top of socket or case b in
socket 'b'is. a slot c extending from just below the Cup 'a' to bottom part
of socket 'b' to receive a small pin d' and which pin is secured and fixed to
the bottom part of an outside case 'e' and which with outside case 'e' slides up
and down slot 'c' and form a stop to prevent the outside case 'e' being pulled
off that of the inner case or stalk 'b.'
Fig. 2 is in all respects like as unto Fig. 1 save only as to showing the outside
case 'e' being drawn out from over that of the inner case 'b.'
Fig. 3. is in all respects like as to Fig. 1 and 2, excepting as I propose if neces-
sary to addapt a V groove 'f' in the socket or inner case 'b' and a corresponding
V groove 'g' at the bottom part of the outside case 'e' which forms a stop to
prevent the outside case 'e' being pulled off.
If found necessary I also form a spring in or out of the material forming the
socket or case of Candle stick or attach one therunto by any suitable means or any
devise which will prevent the outer case of Candle stick 'e' slipping down the
inner one 'b.'
Fig. 4 represents front and side view of an ordinary Candle stick spring or lift
with my thimble kind of Cup or receptacle 'a' attached and fixed thereunto for

the purpose of holding the Candle and retaining as it where in a reservoir' the last
remnant of the Candle and so prevent waste in ordinary Candle sticks.
Having now particularly discribed and assertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner, the same is to be performed and without confining
myself strictly to the precise details herein contained, I claim
The said Improvements in Candle sticks for Domestic and othe purposes
constructed and applied in manner as herin set forth and described.
