  • Votive candle and container and array thereof
    Patent number: 3942940
    Abstract: A votive light including an opaque, metal container as the sole enclosure for a candle. Cut-outs are provided in the container well through which light from the candle is projected. The lowest edge of the cut-outs is higher than the initial height of the candles when resting on the bottom well of the container. The metal containers are arranged on shelves in horizontal rows of ascending height. The cut-outs are at a vertical height above the bottom of the container substantially equal to the difference in height of each row of candles. The size and spacing of the cut-outs relative to that of the containers is such that light from the candles passes through the openings and is reflected from adjacent containers.
