I, THOMAS WOOF, of 17 Lind Street, St. John's, in the County of Kent,
Mechanical Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in candle holders and has for its object
the more secure attachment of the holders to candle sticks on the outside rim while
providing a firmer grip of the candle.
In carrying my invention into effect I construct my holder from metal having
the form of a double clipping device, one clip to secure the candle, and the other
to secure the holder to the candle stick on the outside. I form the whole clip from
a disc or plate of metal and I produce four or more bands or arms which I bend
over and form with spring like ends for clipping on to the upper portion of the
candle stick. I also form four or more similar projecting ears or strips which when
bent upwards form a divided socket or barrel containing four prongs or ears into
which the candle eud may be inserted internally. I bend over the ends of the
candle clipping bars and I form the interior of the same with a circular bed so that
the candle may be effectually gripped and held by the spring like action of the four
upper bars formed upon the clip.
By this my improved double clipping device I produce a candle holder having at
the one upper end a number of vertical clips for holding the candle and having
projecting from the same portion of metal a number of horizontal clips which
engage with the bead or upper edge of the candle stick. The extent and form of
the horizontal clips I vary by hand manipulation to suit the size of the candle stick
to which it is to be attached.
I sometimes provide for a grease retaining plate.or dish to stand upon or to be
carried by the candle holder, and this I accomplish in one convenient manner by
providing projecting bars or pin like nibs upon the edges of the lower clips into
which the grease holder can be fitted or I may make holes within the bars that the
grease holder may enter.
I sometimes provide prongs or ears in the form of projecting bars pierced
out of the surface of the main clip or bar for engaging with the material of the
candle.
I do not limit the application of my invention to any special shape of clipping
bar or to the number of bars which I employ, but I modify the same to suit any
particular demand.

page_text: Improvements in Candle Holders.
I, THOMAS WOOF, Mechanical Engineer, late of 17 Lind Street, St. John's
London, S.E., but now of 111 Golden Hillock Road, Small Heath, in the City of
Birmingham, 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 improvements in candle holders and has for its object
the more secure attachment of the holders to candle sticks while providing a firmer
grip of the candle.
In the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings to be hereinafter referred
tv 3-
Figure 1 is a plan of the metallic disc or plate from which I form my improved
candle holder.
Figure 2 is an elevation and Figure 3 a plan of the complete candle holder.
The same reference letters in the different views indicate the same parts.
In carrying my invention into effect I construct my holder from metal having
the form of a double clipping device, one clip to secure the candle, and the other
to secure the holder to the candle stick. I form the whole clip from a disc or
blank of metal such as illustrated at Figure 1, and I produce bands or arms A
which I bend over and form with spring-like ends for clipping on to the upper
portion of the candle stick as shown at Figures 2 and 3. I also form similar
projecting arms or strips as B which when bent upwards form a divided socket or
barrel containing four prongs or ears into which the candle end may be inserted
internally as illustrated. I bend over the ends of the candle clipping bars and I
form the interior of the same with a circular bed so that the candle may be
effectually gripped and held by the spring like action of the four upper bars formed
upon the clip.
By this my improved double clipping device I produce a candle holder having
at the upper end a number of vertical clips for holding the candle and having
projecting from the same portion of metal a number of horizontal clips which
engage with the bead or upper edge of the candle stick. The extent and form of
the horizontal clips 1 vary by hand manipulation to suit the size of the candle
stick to which it is to be attached.
I sometimes provide for a grease retaining plate or dish to stand upon or to be
carried by the candle holder and this I accomplish in one convenient manner by
providing projecting bars or pin like nibs upon the edges of the lower clips
into which the grease holder can be fitted or I make holes within the bars that the
grease holder may enter.
I sometimes provide prongs or ears in one form of projecting boss pierced
out of the surface of the main clip or boss for engaging with the material of the
candle.
I do not limit the application of my invention to any special shape of clipping
bar or to the number of bars which 1 employ, but I modify the same to suit any
particular demand.
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 An imurozed candle holder substantially as described and as illustrated.

page_text: 2. The construction of a candle holder consisting of a double clipping device
formed from one disc or blank of metal substantially in the manner described and
as illustrated.
