Improvements in Candle Holders and Save-alls.
I, GRIFFITH BREWER of 33 Chancery Lane in the County of Middlesex, Mechanical
Draughtsman do hereby declare the nature of this invention (A communication to me
from abroad by Thomas C. Tucker, of Constantinople, Turkey, Manufacturer's Agent)
to be as follows:-
:-
The object of this invention is to provide very simple and at the same time, ready
and efficient means for holding candles in their sticks and in such manner that the
extreme end of the candle may be burnt and that until the wick drops through.
The holder is composed of a fixed standard which may be forked, and for convenience
may be secured to any suitable candlestick or holder, and to the same base an
adjustable arm is hinged or linked which latter may be secured in a vertical or angular
position so as to grip the candle as may be required and according to the size of same;
the hinged arm is kept in position by means of a pin or rod screw threaded at one end
and passing through a corresponding thread at or near the base of the forked standard;
the pin is operated by a button at end of same, by turning which a flange on the rod
or pin presses on the hinged arm and holds same firmly in position, und thus gripping
the candle or candle end between the forked end of the standard and the hinged arm.
By these means candles of any size can be securely held in one and the saine holder,
and that until the whole of the candle is consumed. A spring may be used if desired
to keep the movable arm in position or to assist in doing so.
Dated this 29th day of December 1886.

page_text: I, GRIFFITH BREWER of 33 Chancery Lane in the County of Middlesex, Mechanical
Draughtsman do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a communication to me
from abroad by Thomas C. Tucker of Constantinople, Turkey, Manufacturer's Agent)
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The object of this invention is to provide very simple, and at the same time, ready
and efficient means for holding candles in their sticks, and in such manner that the
extreme end of the candle may be burnt, and that until the wick drops through.
The holder is composed of a fixed standard which may be forked, and for convenience,
may be secured to any suitable candlestick or holder, and to the same base an arm is
hinged or linked which latter may be secured in a vertical or angular position, so as
to grip the candle as may be required and according to the size of same; the hinged
arm is adjusted and kept in position by means of a pin or rod screw threaded at one
end, and passing through a corresponding thread at or near the base of the forked
standard; the pin is operated by a button at end of same, by turning which a flange
or collar on the rod or pin prosses on the hinged arm and holds same firmly in
position, and thus gripping the candle or candle end between the forked end of the
standard and the hinged arm.
By these means candles of any size can be securely held in one and the same
holder, and that until the whole of the candle is consumed. A spring may be used if
desired, to keep the movable arm in position or to assist in doing so.
In order that the invention may be fully understood and readily carried into effect
I will now proceed to further describe the same with reference to the accompanying
drawings.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a candle holder or save-all, constructed according
to this invention, with a portion of the stand or base plate removed, in order the
more clearly to shew the candle holder or save-all itself. Figure 2 is a back elevation,
and Figure 3 is a side elevation with the stand in section. Figure 4 shows in section,
the candle holder or save-all with a frame surrounding same, and where the screw
does not extend across to the forked standard and as it might be applied to a bracket,
and Figure 5 shews in section a modification of the arrangement.
Similar letters of reference refer to like parts in all the figures.
A is the fixed and forked standard; B is the hinged or jointed adjustable arm;
C is the screw for operating or adjusting the arm B; D shows the candle end. At
Figures 1, 2 and 3 the screw C is shown as passing loosely through the hinged or
jointed adjustable arm Band extending to, and screwing through the forked standard A;
whereas at Figures 4 and 5 the screw C passes through the outer casing or cover and
operates against the hinged arm B. E Figure 4 shews a lever arm or continuation of
the hinged arm B extending through the casing F for bringing the adjustable arm B
into its vertical position when required; and G Figure 5 is a spring for effecting the

page_text: same purpose automatically. The invention is not however limited to any such means
of adjustment, as the same might be effected in a variety of ways without in any way
departing from the invention.
To insert the candle end, bring out or back, the adjustable arm B so that there is
sufficient space between the forked standard A and the said adjustable arm B to admit
the candle end, then screw up the arm B by the screw C, when the candle end D will
be firmly held between the forked arms of the standard A and the arm B until the
whole of the candle is consumed.
The candle holder or save-all may be covered by a permanent cover such as is shown
at Figures 4 or 5 or by a loose cap or cover, and which may be made of metal,
porcelain or any other suitable or convenient material.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
1st. In candle holders or save-alls, the standard A, with the adjustable arm B,
between which the candle is held substantially as set forth.
2nd. In candle holders or save-alls, the forked standard A, adjustable arm B,
operated and adjusted by screw C substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
3rd. The construction and arrangement of candle holders or save-alls, together
with any mere modifications thereof substantially as described and shewn with
reference to Figures 4 and 5 of the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 21st day of September 1887.
