PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Candlesticks.
1, JOHN PARKER MILBOURNE, of Brackley Road, Monton Green, near
Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
My invention relates to improvements in candlesticks, and the chief object of my
invention is to construct a cheap and clean candlestick in which the candle will be
consumed to the very end and accumulations of grease and dirt avoided.
In carrying my improvements into effect I make the socket or holder for the
candle preferably in the form of an inverted cone and out of a spirally coiled wire.
The coiled wire holder is supported in any convenient manner preferably by means
of a standard secured to the tray or base plate. Below the coiled wire holder I
place a loose or detachable dish fitted in or upon a base plate or tray, the loose dish
being intended to receive any grease dripping from the burning candle. On the
standard above the holder may be fitted if required an adjustable arm with a loop
or equivalent device as a guide for a long candle. A haudle of any suitable form
may be fixed either to the standard or to the base of the candlestick.
When required more than one coiled wire holder can be secured to and
supported by the same standard.

Improvements in Candlesticks.
I, JOHN PARKER MILBOURNE, of Brackley Road, Monton Green, near
Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Engineer, 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 :-
My invention relates to improvements in candlesticks, and the chief object of my
invention is to construct a cheap and clean candlestick in which the candle will be
consumed to the very end and accumulations of grease and dirt avoided.
And in order that my invention may be fully understood and readily carried into
effect I will describe the accompanying sheet of drawings reference being had to
the figures and letters marked thereon.
Figure 1 is a side sectional elevation and Fig. 2 a plan of my improved candlestick
and Fig. 3 is a side sectional elevation of an alternative form of the same.
In the construction illustrated by Figs. 1 and 2, a designates the tray to which is
secured the handle b and c is the socket or holder formed out of a spirally coiled
wire preferably tapered in the form of an inverted cone, the end of which is
extended and bent to enter a hollow standard or sleeve d fixed to the tray a, and
also to a stay or bridge piece e. The wire extension c¹ thus acts as a hinge or pivot
on which the holder c can be moved back into the position indicated by dotted lines
in Fig. 2, when it is required to clean the tray a. In its normal position the wire c
is caught and held by a notch e¹ in the bridge piece e, whereby the holder c is held
steady. The end of the candle is screwed or thrust into the holder
C, the
construction of which enables the candle to be burnt completely out. For the sake

of cleanliness, I prefer to place below the holder c a loose or detachable dish g to
receive any grease dripping from the burning candle f. On the standard d or on
the tray an adjustable arm may be fitted if required with a loop or equivalent
device as a guide for a long candle.
Fig. 3 illustrates my invention in its simplest form the coiled wire holder c being
soldered or otherwise secured in the middle of the tray a.
When required more than one coiled wire holder c can be secured to or supported
on the same tray.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. In a candlestick, the construction use and application of a coiled wire candle
holder substantially as herein set forth.
2. The combinations and arrangements of parts embodying my improvements
substantially as herein described and as shown.
Dated this 23rd day of June 1894.
