A NEW AND IMPROVED FOLDING CANDLE STAND
Year: 1884

page_text: I CHARLES GEORGE ERNEST TERRANEAU of 3 Circus Place Finsbury in the
City of London Civil Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention
for A NEW AND IMPROVED FOLDING CANDLE STAND to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a new and improved folding candle stand the object
being to provide a candle stand which shall be readily portable and capable of
being fitted into a dressing case, bag, or other similar receptacle.
In carrying my invention into effect I form the base of the stand of three or
more foldable parts which may be made of wood, metal, papier mâche or any other
suitable material binged or otherwise connected to a centre which is telescopical.
and jointed.
The recoiver for the candle is made to screw to and unscrew from the top of the
telescopic portion of the instrument and the base of the stand' is so constructed that
the said top when unscrewed may be made to fit into and form part of the base
thus economising space and securing safety in transport.
The stem of the candle stand may be made knuckle jointed in one or more parts
so that the light from the candle can be placed at any angle to suit the require-
ments of the person using it.

page_text: I, CHARLES GEORGE ERNEST TERRANEAU of 3 Circus Place, Finsbury, London,
Civil Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for A NEW AND
IMPROVED FOLDING CANDLE STAND and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
This invention relates to a new and improved folding candle stand the object
being to provide a candle stand which shall be readily portable and capable of
being fitted into a dressing case bag or other similar receptacle.
In carrying my invention into effect I form the base of the stand of three or
more foldable parts, which may be made of wood, metal, papier mâche or other
suitable material hinged or otherwise connected to a centro which is telescoped and
jointed. The receiver for the candle is made to screw to and unscrew from the top
of the telescopic portion of the instrument and the base of the stand is so con-
structed that the said top when unscrewed can be made to fit into and form part
of the base thus economising space and securing safety in transport.
The stem of the candle stand may be made knuckle jointed in one or more parts
so that the light from the candle can be placed at any angle to suit the require-
ments of the person using the instrument.
The invention will be clearly understood by referring to the annexed drawings
in which Figure 1 represents the candle stand folded up or closed. Figure 2
represents the candle stand with the foldable baso opened and with the candle
holder or receiver proper (shewn more clearly in Figure 4) attached but with the
telescopic stem closed. While Figure 3 represents the candle stand in elevation
with the receiver screwed on or otherwise attached and the telescopic portion
extended. Figure 4 and 5 represent a circular piece with slits a. a. a. which is
placed under the stand into which the foldable portions A A A are made to fit and
revent the base folding when in use. Similar letters indicate corresponding
parts in the various figures.
AAA are the foldable portions forming the base of the candle stand. These
may be of any convenient numbor (by preferenco not less than three) and of any
suitable shape and material. B.is the spaced formed in the foldable portions A A A
to receive (when closed or folded up) the candle holder C when unscrewed from the
telescopic stem F as herein before described. The spaces B may be provided on their
periphery with slots or recesses D. D. D. to receive the projections E E E so that
when the holder or receiver C is inserted in the spaces D. D. D. the projections E EE :
may (by giving the holder or recoiver Oa half turn) be made to form in conjunction
with the recesses DDD a bayonet joint to secure the holder or receivor C in
position. This latter is by proference made in halves the lower portion having the
projections herein before described. The upper portion fits into the lower and
forms the socket or holder for the candle, or the socket portion when made in
halves may simply cup into cach other in the space B, the projections E E E being
dispensed with. The telescopic portion F may be made knuckle jointed in one or
moro parts to vary and regulate the angle at which the light shall fall as desired.

page_text: And having now 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
Firstly. The combination of the foldable parts A A A forming the base of the
candle stand with the telescopic portion or stem F, the latter being provided with
a screw to receive the candle holder proper C as shewn.
Secondly. I claim the special arrangement of parts forming a foldable candlestick
combined or not for the purposes set forth or any mere modification thereof.
Thirdly. The circular piece for holding the base of the tripod stand in position at
equal distances preventing the foldable parts from folding when in use.
