Definitions

  • the invention relates to a candlestick with a plurality of separately arranged lights, each a cup-shaped container with wick and wax or the like. exhibit.
  • Such a candlestick is, for example. known from FR-A-2 566 644.
  • the invention relates to a candlestick of the type mentioned, in which it is to be ensured that the individual lights can burn off completely.
  • the lights are arranged essentially vertically with one another at such a distance from one another that the lower light in each case has a thermal influence on the light above it to such an extent that its wax or the like is melted.
  • the lights are preferably surrounded by pieces of pipe made of transparent material.
  • the respective lower focal point heats the focal point above it in such a way that the wax liquefies in the cup-shaped container and complete burning is thereby achieved.
  • the distance between the individual lights in the vertical direction can also be chosen according to the invention so that the lower distances are greater than the upper distances are because the liquefaction of the wax occurs even with such an arrangement as a result of the heated air rising upwards.
  • the figure shows a diagrammatic representation of a chandelier according to the invention.
  • a foot 30 which can rest on a horizontal surface. It can be a lead foot or some form of training that ensures that the center of gravity of the entire candlestick is as low as possible.
  • cup-shaped lights as they are commercially available as tea lights. These lights rest on essentially circular plates, which in turn are connected to three vertically oriented rods in the embodiment shown. The bars extend from the foot 30 upwards and thus form a framework for the individual plates and the lights.
  • the upper focal point 10 is surrounded by a transparent ring 20.
  • This ring can be closed or divided so that it could just as well be arranged at the focal points 11 and 12.
  • the ring ensures that the flame burns quietly, as it prevents air currents from the side from hitting the flame.
  • a tube made of transparent material could also be used, which extends from the foot 30 upwards.
  • the distances between the individual focal points 10, 11 and 12 shown in the figure can be in the range from 5 to 30 cm, these distances only being mentioned here for example.
  • the candlestick is also within the scope of the present invention to design the candlestick as a pendant instead of placing it on a table.
  • lights 11 and 12 After lighting lights 10, 11 and 12, lights 11 and 12 are heated and the previously solid wax becomes liquid and can therefore burn out completely.
  • the light 12 not heated in this way can later be placed in one of the upper places.
