| 20110280008 | Floating Candle with Removable Light Emitter - A light emitting system has a base portion and a removable portion. The base portion has a coupling for receiving the removable portion. The removable portion has a light emitter, such as a wick, candle, or light emitting diode. The base portion has at least some wax. The light emitting system is shaped to resemble an object, such as a flower or butterfly. The light emitting system is configured to float in a liquid and can further contain electrical components, such as an audio speaker, microphone, receiver, or control unit. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20090129066 | Display device for creating a backlit effect on a display article - A display device for creating a backlit effect on a display article—such as a photograph—with a candle. The display device includes a candle container and a display panel attached to the wall of the candle container by a stand-off. The wall of the candle, display panel, and stand-off together form a pocket for receiving a sleeve which receives a display article. Both the display panel, inside wall and sleeve allow the light of the candle to transmit through the display device and create a backlit effect on the display article that is viewable through the display panel. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090213581 | LIGHTING APPARATUS WITH CANDLES AND ELECTRIC LAMPS - A lighting apparatus includes an electric light source and a natural light source, such as candles, oil lamps, or other flame generating devices. The lighting apparatus includes a support, a frame attached to the support, and a candleholder and an electrically powered light fixture coupled to the support or the fixture. A shelf may be coupled on the frame or the support for supporting a candle. A drip tray may be optionally associated with the candleholder. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090067164 | LANTERN CANDLE WITH TRANSLUCENT CASING - A lantern candle comprises a candle and a cup for receiving it, wherein the cup comprises a casing made of absorbent material such as paper or cardboard or a multi-layer laminate based thereon, which is soaked with a wax so that the casing is substantially immediately translucent upon lighting the candle. A method for making a lantern candle comprises the steps of forming a casing by preparing an absorbent material such as paper or cardboard or a multi-layer laminate based thereon, forming a cup for receiving a candle by joining a bottom to the casing, introducing a candle wax and a wick into the prepared cup, and soaking the absorbent material or the paper or cardboard with wax, so as to render it substantially immediately translucent upon lighting the candle. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20120044671 | CANDLE COVER - A candle cover is disclosed which includes a tubular sheath of light-filtering material with a top end, a bottom end, and an opening at each end. A hem surrounds each opening. The tubular sheath is place over a candle body such that light transmitted through the candle body from the candle light source is filtered by the tubular sheath of light-filtering material to create a decorative pattern. The light-filtering material can filter light in many different ways, including by modifying the percent of light transmitted through the material, by modifying the percent of light reflected by the material, by modifying the color of light reflected or transmitted by the material, or by light refraction or light diffraction. A method of decorating a candle is disclosed which includes the steps involved in forming a tubular sheath of light-filtering material with a hemmed opening at each end, and inserting a candle into the tubular sheath such that the tubular sheath filters light transmitted through the candle body and the tubular sheath in a decorative pattern. | 02-23-2012 |
