CAN DLESTICK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 473,149, dated April 19, 1892.

Application filed December 4, 1891. Serial No. 413,983. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK V. EAvENsoN,a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city and county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Candlesticks, of which the following is a Specification.

My invention relates to improvements in that class of candlesticks which consist of a base or dish which is furnished with wires which are adapted to hold the candle and to hold a glass shade or chimney to prevent the candle from being affected by drafts; and the object of my invention is to furnish an improvement in the wires for holding the candle and chimney, which will be stronger, simpler, and cheaper than the devices heretofore used for this purpose.

In the accompanying d rawings,forming part of this specification, and in which similar letters of reference indicate similar parts throughout the several views, Figure '1 is a side elevation of my device, the base or dish being shown in section; Fig. 2, a plan of the base and wires for holding candle and chimney, Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a side elevation of a'moditication of my device, the base or dish being shown in section; and Fig. 4, a plan of the base and wires for holding the candle and chim ney, Fig. 3.

A is a base or dish formed of cast or stamped metal and similar to the bases usually used in candlesticks.

B is is a glass shade or chimney, and C a candle. The chimney and candle supports may be made of two wires, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, or of one wire, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4.

In Figs. 1 and 2 the wires D D are bent so as to form feet or bases a, which rest upon and are soldered or otherwise suitably secured to the base or dish A. The ends of these wires are bent up, as at b, to form supports for the chimney, while the bights of the wires are bent up and around, each forming a semicircular support 0, between which the candle is held.

In Figs. 3 and 4 the chimney and candlesupports are shown as formed of one piece of wire. The arrangement of the wire is similar to the arrangement of the wires shown in Figs. 1 and 2, with the exception that the wire extends from the top of one of the chimney-supports I) on one side of the device over to the top of another support 1) upon the other side of the device, as shown at e. The shade or chimney B rests upon the bases a of the wire or wires that form the supports for the chimney and candle,and is by them raised slightly above the base A to allow air to pass in under the shade or chimney 'to support the combustion pf thecandle.

Having thus described my invention, I claim The combination, in a candlestick, of a base A, wires D D, secured to said base, as at a, and having their ends bent up, as at b, to

form chimney-supports and their bights bent up and around, as at c, to form a candle-support, and a chimney B, all substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

FRANK V. EAVENSON.
