Improvements in or relating to Candle Lamps.
We, CHARLES EDWARD GREEN, and THOMAS HENRY GREEN, of the firm
Green Brothers, 25 Ely Place, Holborn, London, China and Porcelain Merchants,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to utilise certain kuown detail appliances in
conjunction with an unbreakable exterior in imitation of a candle of any desired
colour.
For the purpose of this invention, we make what is termed a candle lamp of a
metal tube open at one end for the reception of a screw ferrule which has as part
thereof a bezel, ring, or fillet as a projecting bead for the double purpose of giving
finish and for sccuring an exterior tube upon the metal tube. This ferrule is provided
with a socket or plug also screw threaded for a screw pin to be rotated up and
down in, said pin having a head to prevent its withdrawal and also a triangle or
square tapered socket piece which can move in or between a series of bent strips in
order to expand them to fit large size candle sticks and to contract by reversing
the rotation of the screw expander.
In lieu of the expansible strips, a rubber socket or thimble can be used, also
capable of expansion by the expanding socket piece, or such thimble may be
tapered and be corrugated on the outside for self adjustinent and for holding power
in a candle stick when placed in position.
The upper ond of the metal tube has a fixed bezel, riug, or fillet with an undercut
or channel for the reception of one end of a celluloid, xylonite, or equivalent tube,
or Eaid outer tube may be of toughened glass or other material of a colour corre
sponding to a fancy or other candle, the whole being surmounted by a socket, shade
holder, extinguisher, or the like as desired.
The candle proper of any kind is within the metal tube and is pushed up by a
spring to compensate for the combustion in a manner well known.

We, CHARLES EDWARD GREEN and THOMAS HENRY GREEN of the firm
Green Brothers, of 49 Hatton Garden, Holborn, London, late of 25 Ely Placo,
Holborn, London, China and Porcelain Merchants, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to bo performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention, is to utilise certain known detail appliances in
conjunction with an unbreakable oxterior in imitation of a caudle of any desired
colour.

page_text: For the purpose of this invention, we make what is termed a candle lamp of a
metal tube open at one end for the reception of a screw ferrule which bas as part
thereof a bezel ring, or filict as a projecting bead for the double purpose of giving
finish and for securing an exterior tube upon the metal tube. This ferrule is
provided with a socket or plug also screw threaded for a screw pin to be rotated
up and down in, said pin having a head to prevent its withdrawal and also a triangle
or square tapered socket piece which can move in or between a series of bent
strips in order to expand them to fit large size candlesticks and to contract by
reversing the rotation of the screw expander.
In lieu of the expansible strips, a rubber socket or thimble can be used, also
capable of expansion by the expanding socket piece, or such thimble may be
tapered and be corrugated on the outside for self adjustment and for holding power
in a candlestick when placed in position.
The upper end of the metal tube has a fixed bezel ring, or fillet with an undercut
or chanuel for the reception of one end of a celluloid, xylonite, or equivalent tube,
or said outer tube may be of toughened glass or other material of a colour
corresponding to a fancy or other candle, the whole being surmounted by a socket,
shade holder, extinguisher, or the like, as desired.
The candle proper of any kind is within the metal tube and is pushed up by a
spring to compensate for the combustion in a manner well known.
My invention is represented in the annexed drawings.

A metal tube. B ferrule. C bezel ring with turned up and inwardly curved
outer edge as part of ferrule forming an annular recess for reception of lower end of
tube A and exterior tube D of glass, celluloid, or other material stained or coloured
to represent a fancy coloured or a plain candle. E screw threaded pin centrally
arranged in ferrule C for up and down motion therein.
The lower end of the screw threaded pio E is formed with a head F and
occupies a position in a square or equivalent shaped socket piece G, the spread out
portion of the socket piece serving to expand the wings H, H, which by their
springiness and form cleave to the sides of samme, so that the wings are capable of
being expanded or collapsed by being turned to the left or to the right to fit the
socket of a candlestick, a chandelier, or wall bracket.
1 a top rim of tube A having an under annular channel for the reception of the
upper end of the glass, celluloid, or other exterior tube D. Above the rim I the
tube A is punched from the inside to form a couple of projections J, J, for engage
ment in the bayonet shaped slots K, K, of the nozzle L which locates the candle
proper M, this being kept up to the shoulder N of the cap as consumption progresses
by the helical spring P which is within the tube A and bearing on the inner flange
of the tube A.
The outside diameter of the cap L coincides with the exterior diameter of the
band Qof the shade bolder R, this being composed of two curved legs S, S.
connecting the band Q with the crown of the holder on which a paper or other
fancy cone or other shaped eye screen can be dropped. One of the legs S of the
shade bolder has an extinguisher lever T pin jointed to it in such manuer that when
the cup U is up it hangs back slightly beyond a vertical line and bears against the
leg, partially retained there by the chain V and weight W until it is found necessary
for extinguishing the candle, when the cap cau be thrown over or lowered on to
the wick to extinguish the flamo.

page_text: As a modification or in substitution for the expansible plug G, H, I purpose
making a conical onded plug with the rim C and a ceutral screw threaded
portion B and to employ therewith a fluted rubber cone shaped tip ✗, the screw
threaded centre engaging the screw thread at the lower end of the tube A.
The cone shaped fluted rubber tip X will enable the candle lamp to be used
without the expansible plug G, H, in either ense the same facilities are offered for
the fitting within the socket of a candlestick, chandelier, or wall bracket.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is :-
1. In a candle lamp, the combination of inner tube A, loose fitting outer tube D,
screw ferrule ring B, C, central screw pin E, inclined face socket piece G,
expansible wings H, H, internal spring P, fixed upper rim I, nozzle L, shade
holder Q, R, S, with extinguishing cup U and weighted chain V as specified and
substantially as shown.
2. In a candle lamp, fixed inner tube A, outer loose tube D held in position'
between fixed rim I and adjustable ferrule ring B, C, said ferrule ring having
central screw pin E, socket G, expanding wings H, H, as specified and substantially
as shown.
3. In a candle lamp, fixed inner tube A, looso outer tube D, fixed rim I,
adjustable ferrule ring B, C, cone shaped and lluted rubber tip X, as specified and
substantially as shown.
