Abstract: An adapter (70) for supporting a taper candle and chimney glass on a candle ring (16) in a centerpiece arrangement includes a plate (72), a candle holder (76), end clip (74) for snap-releasable engagement with the inner ring of the candle ring, and a chimney glass holder (80). The candle ring (16) preferably includes radial extensions or runners (90) in order to form a swag centerpiece.

Abstract: A ceramic insulator having sidewalls, a front wall and a back wall with an outwardly extending mounting shoulder at the upper end of the front and back walls; a passageway extending between the sidewalls of the insulator to form an open interior portion within the insulator which receives a ribbon heating element and a slot in the front wall connecting with the open interior portion of the insulator for insertion of a ribbon heating element into the open interior portion; a bearing surface within the open interior portion to support a ribbon heating element; and an elongated radiused rib extending outwardly from each sidewall below the bearing surface to provide curved contact surfaces for a ribbon heating element.

Abstract: A stand-off insulator for supporting conductors or the like so that they will be maintained in spaced relation to a supporting structure which carries the insulator. The insulator is in the form of a one-piece body of electrically non-conductive material having an elongated portion provided with a pair of opposed free end regions at one of which the elongated portion has a structure for fixing to this one free end region an article such as a clamp, bracket, or the like, while the elongated portion has at its other free end region a structure for mounting the body on a support.
