Abstract:
Imitation candle devices and systems with features enable simulation of a realistic candle flame using moving lights are disclosed. In one aspect, an imitation candle device is provided that includes a flame sheet shaped to resemble a flame, a support member positioned in proximity to the flame sheet, and a light casing including a hole. An end of the support member extends into the hole and a tip of the end of the support member is in contact with an inner wall of the hole to allow movement of the light casing on the support member. The imitation candle device also includes a light emitter enclosed at least partially in the light casing and movable with movement of the light casing. The light emitter is oriented at an inclined angle with respect to the flame sheet to emit light onto the flame sheet.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of lighting an imitation candle device, comprising:\n attaching a flame sheet having a shape to a body; projecting a light on to the flame sheet; mounting a support member on the body, the support member extending along an axis, having an end portion with a tip, and where the tip is narrower in cross section than other portions of the support member, ; holding a light casing on the support member, in a way that allows movement of the light casing relative to the support member, the light casing including a light emitter that is energized to produce an output light, said light casing having internal surfaces defining an opening, where the tip of the support member fits in the opening, and wherein the tip of the support member extends into the opening and where the light casing is held on the support member, in a way that allows movement of the light casing relative to the support member, where the support member holds the light emitter at an angle to face the flame sheet and to emit light onto the flame sheet; moving the light casing on the support member to move the light projected on the flame sheet; and using a movement limiting structure that limits an amount of the movement of the light casing;
