PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Shade Holders and Extinguishers for
Candlesticks and the like.
I, EDWARD ALLDAY, of Wickham Lodge, Egham, in the County of Surrey,
Artist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In the Specification attached to application for Letters Patent granted to me
No. 15820 and dated 2nd November 1888 I described an automatic telescopic
shade holder in which a collar or ring surrounded or embraced the candle and
wick the telescoping rod and tubes being supported on a separate socket fitting
into the socket of the candle stick.
Now my present invention is designed to provide an improved device in place
of the collar or ring and one which will also act as an extinguisher.
In place
of the collar or ring I use a small tube or cylinder mounted on a flat base or
flange through which the wick protrudes the cylinder or tube surrounding the
wick and the base or flanged portion resting on the top of the wax or composition
of which the candle is composed..
I perforate the upper portion or cylinder transversely to allow of the
melted wax or composition flowing freely to feed the wick. This appliance is
connected to the telescopic device as follows: On the top rod carrying the
shade holder I arrange a loose sleeve or collar capable of sliding up and down
the same and to this I fix a downwardly projecting bar terminating in a small
boss or stop above which is pivotted a cranked arm carrying the aforesaid
appliance to which it may be attached in any well known manner.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Shade Holders and Extinguishers for
Candlesticks and the like.
1, EDWARD ALLDAY, of Wickham Lodge, Egham, in the County of Surrey,
Artist, 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 :-
In the Specification attached to application for Letters Patent granted to me
No. 15820 and dated 2nd November 1888, 1 describe an automatic telescopic shade
holder in which a collar or ring surrounded or embraced the candle or wick, the
telescoping rod and tubes being supported on a separate socket fitting into the
socket of the candle stick.
Now my present invention is designed to provide an improved device to be used
in place of the collar or ring described in my former Specification or in combination
therewith the said device also acting as an extinguisher.
The accompanying drawing represents a telescopic shade holder to which is
attached the improved device without the collar or ring and in place thereof I use
a small tube or cylinder A mounted on a flat base or flange B through which the
wick protrudes, the cylinder or tube surrounding the wick and the base or flanged
portion resting on the top of the wax C or composition of which the candle is
composed. I perforate the upper portion or cylinder transversely as at a to allow

page_text: of the melted wax or composition flowing freely to feed the wick. This appliance
is connected to the telescopic device as follows: On the top rod D carrying the
shade holder EI arrange a loose sleeve or collar capable of sliding up and down
the same and to this fix a downwardly projecting bar G terminating in a small
boss or stop above which is pivotted a cranked arm H carrying the aforesaid
appliance to which it may be attached in any well known manner.
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 :-
-
L. For use with telescopic shade holders for candles and the like a small tube
such as A provided with a transverse perforation such as a mounted or not on a
base or disc such as B and attached to the shade holder support by the means
described and as illustrated by the drawing or in any other convenient manner.
2. The device as and for the purposes described and as illustrated by the
