Abstract: A simulated flame and wick device for use with a flameless candle and other devices requiring the appearance of a natural flame. A flame shaped housing, comprising an upper and lower cover, contains a flexible LED filament bulb, with the positive and negative leads passing through dedicated channels within a housing designed to have the appearance of a candle wick. The combination of the material used for the wick housing along with the positive and negative leads from the flexible LED filament bulb are designed to provide strength and flexibility to the wick component. In turn these leads pass through a positioning housing to orient the simulated flame and wick correctly when used with flameless candles and other devices. The simulated flame and wick along with the other components described are contained within the internal housing of a simulated candle shell or other appropriate device, thus simulating the appearance of a flame burning atop a blackened wick.

Abstract: A battery powered device simulating a traditional wick burning candle through the combined use of a colored lens LED, electronic circuit board and integrated chip to control the flicker pattern of the said LED. The battery compartment and electronic circuits are contained within an internal housing which is placed within the body of a simulated candle shell. The colored lens LED is extended through an opening in the upper portion of the candle shell. Switches to operate the said device are placed on the bottom base of the internal housing, which is exposed on the bottom of the candle. The colored lens of the LED is such that it is light enough not to significantly impair light performance while appearing black or almost black, effectively simulating a blackened wick, when not illuminated.
