Abstract: A replica flame for simulating a flame on a wick extending from a top of a candle positioned in a candlestick. The replica flame includes a three-dimensional flame body and a rigid pin connected to extend from a base side of the three-dimensional flame body. The rigid pin includes a pointed end opposite the connection with the three-dimensional flame body, the rigid pin being able to pierce the top of the candle for releasably connecting the three-dimensional flame body to the top end of the candle at the wick. When releasably secured to the top of the candle, the replica flame creates an illusion of a flame burning on the wick of the candle thereby producing the appearance that the candle is lit. The three-dimensional flame body may include a vertical groove on one side thereof for receiving the wick of the candle and is preferably a pear shaped member having realistic colors of a natural flame duplicated thereon.

Abstract: A replica flame (10) for a candle (12) having a wick (14) in a candlestick (16) comprising a simulated three-dimensional flame body (18). A structure (20) is for connecting the simulated three-dimensional flame body (18) to a top end (22) of the candle (12) at the wick (14). It will produce a uniquely realistic appearance for the candle (12) which seems lighted, but is not lighted, thereby making a safe product that will enhance realism to the candle (12).
