ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of a retractable electric candle system are shown and described, each for installation into a window sill so that the candle rises out of the sill for use and retracts down into the space under the sill for storage. The candle system includes a base for attachment over an aperture drilled in the sill, a candle that slides up and down through the base and the sill, and a tube member into which the candle retracts. When a cover is removed from the base, a spring pops up the candle enough to allow the user to grasp it for lifting. A slot and pin mechanism cooperate to reversibly lock the candle into a raised position when the candle is lifted and rotated about 1/4 turn. Electrical contacts, wiring, and electrical tape are positioned to electrify the bulb or other display unit on top of the candle when the candle system is connected to a power source and when the candle is in the raised position. The candle system may include the apparatus for connection to the power source, which may include a clock transformer for reducing the power source voltage to a lower, safer voltage for operation of the candle and for setting times for the automatic turning on and off of the candle.
