PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Candles and in Candlesticks and other Candle
Holders.
I JOHN SIDNEY CROWLEY of Corporation Street 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 candles and in candlesticks and other
candle holders and my improvements consist essentially in forming a screw thread
upon the end of each candle and a corresponding screw thread in the recess of
its candlestick sconce or equivalent candle holder so that the candle may be readily
screwed into and so secured in its holder and as readily released when required.
I may form an internal screw thread in the end of the candle instead of an
external thread as above described and have the corresponding external thread on a
projecting portion of the holder.
The portion of the candle which is fitted into the holder and the projecting threaded
portion of the holder when the candle has an internal thread may be taper or parallel
or partly taper and partly parallel.

Improvements in Candles and in Candlesticks and other Candle
Holders.
I JOHN SIDNEY CROWLEY of Corporation Street 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 inprovements in candles and in candlesticks and other!
candle holders and my improvements consist essentially in forming a screw thread
upon the end of each candle and a corresponding screw thread in the recess of its
candlestick sconce or equivalent candle holder so that the candle may be readily
screwed into and so secured in its holder and as readily released when required.
I may form an internal screw thread in the end of the candle instead of an 1
external thread as above described and have the corresponding external thread on a
projecting portion of the holder.
The portion of the candle which is fitted into the holder and the projecting threaded
portion of the holder when the candle has an internal thread may be taper or parallel
or partly taper and partly parallel.
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 view of a lower end of a candle a made with a screw thread, and a
sconce, nozzle or candle holder 6 which is also made with a corresponding screw
thread according to my Invention.
It is obvious that if the candle a be screwed into the sconce or nozzle b it will
be firmly held in its true position and will not be liable to fall out of the
perpendicular.
•
Fig. 2 is a similar view to Fig. 1 but the candle a has a taper instead of a plain
end and the recess in the nozzle or candle-holder 6 is similarly shaped.
Fig. 8 shows the end of a candle a formed with an internally screw threaded taper
recess designed to screw onto a screw threaded taper projection b' formed in the centre
of the recess of the nozzle or candleholder b.
It is obvious that this part of my Invention might be applied to taper ended candles
and candleholders with taper recesses.
Fig. 4 is a similar view to Fig. 1 but showing the screw thread formed directly
in the recess of a condlestick e instead of in a sconce or nozzle as in the preceding
Figures.
Figs. to 8 inclusive are sectional views of different types of sconces or nozzles b
formed with screw threads according to my Invention.

page_text: I wish it to be clearly understood however that these are only shown by way of
illustration and are not in any way intended to limit the scope of my Invention which
may be applied to various kinds of candle holders of different forms shapes or patterns
and made in any suitable material.
Fig. 9 shows a plain ended candle a and a screw threaded nozzle b and Fig. 10 a
taper ended candle a and a screw threaded nozzle b.
It will be seen that in these cases neither candle has a screw thread formed
upon it and it will be readily understood that the intention is to cut the thread
npon the candle in each instance by screwing it into the threaded candle holder b.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what
I claim is :-
1.The combination with a candle having a screw threaded end, of a candlestick
or candleholder having a corresponding screw thread formed in or on it substantially
as herein set forth.
2. The improved candles formed with either externally or internally screw threaded
ends substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
3. The improved candleholders or candlesticks formed with screw threaded recesses
or projections substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
