ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a candle holder with a plurality of candles arranged separately from each other, each candle comprising a cup-shaped container with a; wick and wax or the like.
Such a candle holder is known for example from FR-A-2 566 644.
In candle holders comprising several flames it is usual, to arrange the individual candles spatially separated from each other, in order to prevent that the heat generated and radiated by the flame of one candle results in the deformation of the adjacent candles.
The invention is directed to a candle holder of the type indicated above, regarding which it is aimed to be secured that the individual candles can completely burn down, even if different candles are used.
This object is achieved in that the candles are arranged substantially vertically one underneath the other at such a distance, that the respectively lower candle thermally influences the candle arranged above it such that its wax or the like is melted.
Preferably the candles are enclosed by tube pieces of transparent material.
Due to the spatial proximity, the respectively lower burning site warms-up the burning site arranged above it such, that the wax in the cup-shaped container is liquefied and thereby a complete burning down is achieved.
The distance between the individual candles in vertical direction can also be chosen such in accordance with the invention, that the lower distances are larger than the upper distances, as the liquefying of the wax also in such an arrangement occurs as a result of the heated air rising upwards.
The candle holder according to the invention is conceived as a slide-in system, in which several candles together can be slid preferably into glass containers for reception of Food Warmers or Votive Lights such, that different distances can be set.
The customer has the choice, whether he wants to put the candle holder onto the floor or to secure it on the wall.
The top part of the candle holder can optionally be used with an accessory part as a fragrance lamp.
Due to the simple, very functional shape, this candle holder can be positioned on every wall and in every corner in a very space-saving manner.
Due to the construction with three rods, the glass containers—optionally for Food Warmer or Votive Lights—are supported such that they cannot fall out and they also cannot be taken out easily by a child.
The invention will be illustrated by way of example with reference to the drawing in the following.
