Publication number: 20170280535Abstract: A system for the selective illumination of electronic memorial candles in a memorial display of a publicly viewable array of physical electronic candles at a religious or memorial site. The array of candles is electronically connected to a single computer configured to interelationally control illumination of all the candles in the array with selective candle illumination of one or more candles in the array and duration of the illumination of the selected candles. A payment validator instructs the computer to accept validated payment in the form of physically deposited paper currency, credit card or debit card charge or an electronic fund transfer from an existing account. When payment is validated the computer actuates the selected candle for illumination by a user or directly illuminates the selected candle or candles for the selected candle or candles for the paid for duration of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2015Publication date: September 28, 2017Inventor: Gabor Lederer

Patent number: 8845166Abstract: A washable, rechargeable electronic candle, with peripheral elements and a charging system. The electronic candle module is provided with a hermetically closed switch, hermetic charging pad elements and seal between a translucent flame cover. An electronic lighting source is visibly contained within the flame cover and is preferably comprised of multiple spaced apart light sources such as of LED lighting elements in a configuration to thereby create a three-dimensional flame appearance. The flame cover is sized to protect the light sources and to provide light diffusion of the lighting source in the configuration of an ovate candle flame. In addition, an opaque element is provided on the candle body, just below the level of the lighting source to provide an emulative effect of a darkened wick section of a candle. Included is a modular electronic candle emulation system with interchangeable candle modules, charger, shade, decorative bases, and fragrance holders.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2012Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Inventor: Gabor Lederer

Publication number: 20120150675Abstract: A system provides for the commercialization of electronic candles in institutions, such as churches or memorial locations wherein a prescribed payment for a predetermined illumination period is verified or validated and an electronic signal then actuates at least one of the electronic candles. The user selects the desired candle for illumination and touches the selected candle for illumination for the prescribed period. A payment account statement is periodically transmitted to the institution or manufacturer to confirm actual payments with the electronic statement of payments to control pilferage. Lighting data and related income is collected and generated for planning purposes. The system is operable locally or remotely with remote viewing capability.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2011Publication date: June 14, 2012Inventor: Gabor Lederer
