page_text: I, FREDERICK CHENEVIX TRENCH of the British Embassy, St Petersburg,
Russia, Colonel in Her Majesty's Army do hereby declare the nature of this
Invention to be as follows:-
.
My invention is more especially applicable to that form of candlestick which has
a large flat saucer-shaped base and is commonly known as a bedroom candlestick.
In applying my invention to such candlesticks I affix to the base a vertical
receptacle preferably of circular section and of sufficient size to hold a convenient
supply of matches or in the case of a candlestick formed of earthenware or china,
the said receptacle may be made in one with the candlestick.
"
I provide the said receptacle with a sliding removable lid or cover, which is so
shaped as to act as an extinguisher for the candle in addition to serving as a cover
for the match-box.
In place of affixing the match receptacle to the base of a candlestick, it may if
preferred be attached by any convenient means to the stem, and I may provide
upon or affix to any convenient part of the candlestick, match receptacle, or
extinguisher, a roughened surface or surfaces for igniting the matches.
I may apply my invention to any other form of candlestick besides a bedroom
candlestick, and I may form the said candlesticks and the parts in combination
therewith of any suitable material or combination of materials.

I, FREDERICK CHENEVIX TRENCH of the British Embassy St Petersburg,
Russia, Colonel in Her Majesty's Army do hereby declare the nature of this

My invention is more especially applicable to that form of candlestick which has
a large flat saucer-shaped base and is commonly known as a bedroom candlestick.

page_text: The accompanying sheet of drawings illustrates the mode of applying my
invention to such candlesticks.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a flat candlestick, shewing the match receptacle
in section and closed.
Figure 2 is a similar view shewing the said receptacle open.
The same letters of reference denote the same parts in each figure.
A is the base of the candlestick, and B the ordinary stem for the candle.
I affix to the base A, a vertical box or receptacle C, preferably of circular section
and of sufficient depth and diameter to hold a convenient supply of matches. In
the case of a candlestick formed of earthenware or china the said receptacle may be
made in one with the candlestick.
I provide the said receptacle with a sliding removable lid or cover D, which is so
shaped as to act as an extinguisher for the candle in addition to serving as a cover
for the match box C.
In addition to the removable cover D, I also provide a second or inner sliding
lid E to the receptacle C, the object of such inner lid being to prevent any grease
or wax which may adhere to the interior of the extinguisher D, falling into C
among the matches.
To avoid the chance of the inner lid E being lost, I may provide a hinged lid E¹,
as shewn in Fig. 3, instead of a sliding lid.
In place of affixing the match receptacle to the base of a candlestick, it may if
preferred be attached by any convenient means to the stem B, and I may provide
upon, or affix to any convenient part of the candlestick, match receptacle, or
extinguisher, a roughened surface or surfaces for igniting the matches, but in
practice I prefer to roughen the exterior, or part of the exterior of the receptacle C
for this purpose.
I may apply my invention to any other form of candlestick besides a bedroom
candlestick, and I may form the said candlesticks and the parts in combination
therewith of any suitable material or combination of materials.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim, is :-
(1.) In a candlestick, the combination therewith of a match receptacle C, having
an inner sliding lid E and a cover D, forming an extinguisher, substantially as
herein set forth.
(2.) In a candlestick, the combination therewith of a match receptacle C, having
an inner hinged lid E and a cover D forming an extinguisher, substantially as
herein set forth.
