Definitions

  • the invention relates to a candle holder according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a candle holder is known (DE-GM 82 224 756).
  • the guide tube at its upper end merges directly into the bottom of the cup-like, upwardly open vessel.
  • the guide tube is closed at its lower end, and this lower end of the guide tube can be expanded to form a base.
  • the known candle holder is used in such a way that it is filled with water up to a level above the guide tube and that a candle with its candle shaft is inserted into the guide tube.
  • the candle Due to its buoyancy, the candle floats in the water within the guide tube and the vessel, the annular gap between the guide tube and the candle shaft must be dimensioned such that the guide tube secures the candle against tilting and leads sufficiently vertically, while at the same time being a party jamming of the candle in the guide tube should be prevented. Due to the floating of the candle, the candle flame is essentially always at the same height, which is particularly useful with lanterns. In addition, any dripping wax runs into the water in the container so that this wax can be easily removed without soiling the candle holder. As the candle shaft becomes shorter due to the burning of the candle, the water level in the vessel inevitably drops.
  • the water level can drop so far that liquid wax reaches the upper end of the guide tube, which can contaminate the guide tube and the candle residue can stick there. In such a case, it is difficult and tedious to clean the known candle holder again.
  • the invention has for its object to design the generic candle holder so that dirt can be removed in the simplest possible way.
  • the guide tube is formed separately from the vessel and is open at both ends. This makes it possible to remove the guide tube from the vessel and, if necessary, to clean it in a simple manner, since, for example, a cleaning cloth or a cleaning brush can be pulled or pushed through the guide tube.
  • the candle shaft is not only surrounded by the water jacket, which is located between the candle shaft and the guide tube, but also by the water jacket, which is located between the guide tube and the wall of the vessel.
  • the candle holder also forms a decorative light source, provided that at least the vessel is made of glass, which is preferably the case.
  • the shape of the vessel is no longer decisively determined by the function of supplying water to the guide tube. Rather, the vessel only needs to support the guide tube to the required extent and secure it against tipping. This means that a wide variety of vessel shapes are possible, for example conventional beakers or goblets.
  • At least one support part is arranged on the guide tube, preferably at least three laterally projecting projections are formed on the guide tube, which extend at equal angular intervals in the radial direction from the guide tube and have such a length in the radial direction that they are suitable for provide adequate support on the walls of the vessel.
  • the candle holder according to FIG. 1 comprises an upwardly open cup-like vessel 2 made of glass with a bottom 4 and a cylindrical side wall 6.
  • a cylindrical guide tube 8 which has a circular cross section and is also made of glass.
  • a support member in the form of an annular flange 10 is formed.
  • the guide tube 8 is on the bottom 4 of the vessel 2, but is not firmly connected thereto.
  • the foot 10 has such a large diameter that the guide tube 8 is adequately secured against tipping.
  • the guide tube 8 is slightly less than the height of the vessel 2, as shown in Fig. 1.
  • the vessel 2 is filled with a liquid, preferably with water, to such a height that the water level is below the edge of the vessel 2, but above the upper edge or end 12 of the guide tube 8.
  • a candle 14 is inserted into the guide tube, there being a sufficient distance between the outside of the candle shaft and the inside of the jacket 16 of the guide tube 8 to enable the candle 14 to move freely within the guide tube 8.
  • this space filled with water is so small that the guide tube 8 holds the candle 14 sufficiently vertical and prevents the candle 14 from tipping. If the candle gets shorter and its weight less by burning it off, it floats gradually inside the guide tube 8, so that the flame 18 of the candle is essentially always at the same height.
  • the space inside the guide tube 8 below the candle 14 fills with water from the area between the jacket 16 and the side wall 6 of the vessel 2. As long as the water level is above the end 12 of the guide tube when the candle holder is used properly, no liquid can flow Wax reach the guide tube so that neither the guide tube 8 is contaminated by wax, nor the candle 14 adheres to the guide tube.
  • the relatively thick water jacket outside the jacket 16 of the guide tube 8 together with the side wall 6 and the bottom 4 of the vessel 2 ensures multiple refraction and reflection of the light from the flame 18, so that the candle holder emits a pleasant and decorative light overall.
  • the guide tube 8 can easily be removed from the vessel 2 and cleaned, since the guide tube 8 is open at both ends and its interior is thus easily accessible.
  • this 8 USS guide tube as a supporting part no annular flange F but three laterally projecting lugs 20 which are integrally formed at the lower end 22 of the guide tube.
  • the three lugs 20 run essentially in the radial direction of the guide tube 8 and have the same angular distances from one another in the circumferential direction.
  • the plate-shaped lugs 20 have a length in the radial direction that they extend to the side wall 6 of the vessel 2, and in the vertical direction such a height that they sufficiently secure the guide tube 8 against tipping.
  • the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 4 differs from the exemplary embodiment explained above with reference to FIG. 2 only in that the projections 20 are arranged and formed on the upper end 12 of the guide tube 8.
  • annular flange-shaped collar 24 is formed on the upper end 12 of the guide tube 8 as a support part, which has a diameter such that it is on the upper edge of the side wall 6 of the vessel 2 can support.
  • the transition between the end 12 and the collar 24 is formed by a bell-shaped section 25.
  • the collar 24 supports the guide tube 8 in the vertical direction on the vessel 2 and at the same time ensures that the guide tube 8 is centered in the vessel 2, as is the case with the lugs 20 in FIG Embodiments according to FIGS. 2 and 4 do.
  • the vessel 2 differs from the vessel of the previously described exemplary embodiments in that it thins downwards in the shape of a goblet.
  • the guide tube 8 with its on sets 20 is similar to the guide tube shown in FIG. 4; however, it differs from this in that the shoulders 20 have only a slight extension in the longitudinal direction of the guide tube, since they do not need to secure the guide tube against tipping, but only support laterally on the side wall 6. In this case, the tilt protection is provided by the interaction of the lower end 22 of the guide tube 8 with the thinned lower section of the vessel 2.
  • the cup-shaped vessel 2 has a circumferential shoulder 28 at approximately 2/3 of its height.
  • the guide tube 8 has approaches 20 similar to the approaches of the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, which rest on the shoulder 28.
  • the guide tube 8 has only a short length; it is flush with the plane defined by the lower edges of the shoulders 20.
  • the length of the guide tube 8 is, however, dimensioned such that it is sufficient for guiding the candle 14.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 7 differs from the previously described embodiments in that no additional support parts are provided on the guide tube 8. Rather, the guide tube 8 is a smooth, cylindrical, hollow element.
  • the vessel 2 of the embodiment according to FIG. 7 differs from the vessel of the embodiments according to FIGS. 1 to 4 in that the bottom 4 of the vessel 2 is provided with an annular bead 30 drawn upwards, which has a recess 32 in the middle of the bottom 4 limited. This makes it possible to secure and hold the guide tube 8 in that its lower end 22 is inserted into the recess 32.
  • the production-related gaps between the outside of the jacket 16 and the wall of the recess 32 are sufficient to allow the liquid to enter the guide tube 8 from below.
