ABSTRACT:
A candle lantern comprises a cylinder for enclosing a candle, a telescoping chimney with a protective reflector, a tubular candle holder with means for feeding an expendable candle thereby to maintain the wick at desired position relative to the reflector. The candle holder includes a wax dam comprising a cap and a tapered tube with a labyrinth seal therebetween for minimizing overflow and leakage of wax. The lantern may be telescoped from a compact and tight collapsed position to a fully telescoped lighting position to a partially collapsed operating position. Annular detents and ribs on the inside of the cylinder and on the outside of the chimney interlock at the three operating positions. An annular rubber ring is provided around one rim of the cylinder and a rubber plug with an annular rubber ring is provided at the other end of the cylinder. The rubber rings extend from the body of the cylinder to protect against damage due to shock. Further, the plug supports the candle holder and candle feed. Ribs and detents are provided within the ring and plug as well as the body and candle holder to lock the device in a shock resistant yet easily assembled and disassembled unit.
