Abstract: Electric lighting devices are described having a candle body with an upper surface coupled to a sidewall. A flame element is disposed entirely outside of the candle body and include one or more magnets or a ferrous material. The flame element is supported above the upper surface by a support member that extends upwardly from the upper surface and terminates at a first end disposed within the flame element. This allows the flame element some degree of movement about the support member that combined with a light source configured to illuminate a surface of the flame element creates a flickering flame effect. The device can also include a drive mechanism such as an electromagnet that generates an electromagnetic field that interacts with the magnets of the flame element to thereby cause movement of the flame element.

Abstract: Various designs of electronic lighting devices are disclosed. Contemplated electronic lighting devices comprise a housing, a base, and a light source holder. The housing comprises an internal cavity that typically houses the base and the light source holder. The base is configured to mate with the housing, and the light source holder is affixed to the base. Preferably, the light source holder is configured to receive a light source in an inclined position with respect to the housing, such that light from the light source is emitted through an aperture of the housing and onto a flame element to simulate a real candle light.

Abstract: An electronic lighting system comprising an electronic lighting device and a base device is disclosed. The electronic lighting device removably couples the base device to thereby provide power to the base device. More generally, an electronic system comprising a battery cover configured to couple a first electronic lighting device, and a second electronic device is disclosed. The battery cover comprises a battery contact and a first electrical contact, and the second electronic device comprises a second electrical contact. Power is provided to the second electronic device via the electrical coupling of the various electrical contacts.
