Abstract: A flameless candle may include a candle body configured to house a power source, a light source configured to selectively receive power from the power source; and a flame element. The flame element may include an interior surface and an exterior surface. The flame element may be configured to receive light emitted from the light source at the interior surface and to pass through at least a portion of the light to the exterior surface. The flame element may be configured to move with respect to the candle body to act as an actuator to selectively activate at least one function of the flameless candle.

Abstract: A body defines an interior region and an exterior region. A liquid-retaining portion retains a liquid. A mist generator transforms the liquid into a mist. A first chamber receives the mist to form mist-infused fluid. A fan applies pressure to fluid in the second chamber. A first fluid-transferring portion: receives at an inlet the mist-infused fluid from the first chamber in the interior region; emits the mist-infused fluid into the exterior region via an outlet; and changes the velocity of the mist-infused fluid between the inlet and the outlet. A second fluid-transferring portion receives at an inlet the fluid from the second chamber in the interior region and emits this fluid into the exterior region via an outlet. A light source emits light to illuminate the mist-infused fluid in the exterior region.

Abstract: A flameless candle includes: a candle body forming an interior region, wherein the candle body includes an upper surface and an aperture in the upper surface; a light source positioned in the interior region of the candle body; a force-inducing portion configured to alternatively induce a first mechanical force and a second mechanical force; and a projection screen. The projection screen is configured to receive the first mechanical force and responsively move to a first position and receive the second mechanical force and responsively move to a second position. When the projection screen is moved to the second position, the light source is automatically energized such that a light is emitted onto the projection screen. When the projection screen is moved to the first position, the light source is automatically de-energized such that the light is not emitted.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an electronic candle with an electronic light source. The electronic candle has a candle body with an interior cavity. A removable battery module supplies power to the electronic candle and is removable from the interior cavity of the candle body. The electronic candle can have a base cap module for closing the interior cavity of the candle body and a speaker for generating sound. The speaker can be positioned between the battery module and the base cap module, and directed to project sound downward. Apertures in the battery module and/or the base cap module allow sound from the speaker to pass through the aperture or apertures into the interior cavity of the candle body. Accordingly, the candle body can resonate and/or amplify sound generated by the speaker.
