Abstract: A candle holder with candle light activated illumination has a base and a candle seat mounted on the base. A circuit board and an optical controller are mounted on the base. A driver and an LED lamp set are mounted on the circuit board. The optical controller activates the circuit board after sensing candle light. The candle seat is located above the circuit board, and has a light guide strip being inverted L-shaped with one end thereof radially exposed from an inner wall adjacent to a top opening of the candle seat and the other end downwardly extending into the candle seat and having a cap connected with the optical controller. Given the foregoing structure, melting wax of the candle cannot easily flow into the candle seat through the light guide strip to damage the circuit board.

Abstract: An electronic lighting device may comprise an enclosure, a light-emitting element, a flame sheet and a swing mechanism. The flame sheet is movably supported or suspended on the enclosure, and may comprise an upper sheet which is of a flame-like shape. The upper sheet is configured to be exposed above the top of the enclosure. Light from the light-emitting element intersects with the surface of the upper sheet so that the light projects onto the surface of the upper sheet. The swing mechanism is disposed beneath the flame sheet and can apply a force on the flame sheet to actuate the flame sheet to sway or swing. By the present application, a visual experience of true fire can be achieved and an interestedness and appreciation can be improved. A method for manufacturing the same is disclosed.

Abstract: An electronic candle (10) which simulates a flickering flame is provided. The candle (10) includes a hollow shell (12), a light-emitting element (18) such as an LED and a cap member (20) having the contour of a burning flame covering the light-emitting element (18). An electromagnet is provided to swing the light-emitting element (18). The electromagnet is mounted on a bracket (26) and receives an alternating current. A holding member (40) has a dead weight (52) at one end and the light-emitting element (18) at the other end. A permanent magnet (54) is attached to the bottom of the dead weight (52) such that when an alternating current is applied to the electromagnet it creates a magnetic field for acting on the permanent magnet (54) causing the holding member (40) to swing along an axial direction of the bracket (26).

Abstract: A flickering candle is provided, mainly including: a candle main body, a base and a pattern unit. The candle main body is a hollow light-transmittable shell, with an outer surface, an inner surface, a top and a bottom, both connecting the outer surface and the inner surface. The base is fixedly engaged to the bottom of the candle main body, and disposed with at least a light-emitting element. The pattern unit includes a light-transmittable first patter plate, overlappingly disposed on the inner surface of the candle main body. The first pattern plate has a predefined pattern and a light-guiding part contacting the light-emitting element. As such, the light-emitting element at the base can disperse the light source through the light-guiding part onto the first pattern plate so that the predefined pattern becomes more spectacular to enhance the esthetics.

Abstract: Battery operated sconces, battery operated chandeliers, battery operated candles and candles with unique shapes are disclosed.

Abstract: A self-extinguishing and relightable candle and a device for incorporation into a candle to make it self-extinguishing and relightable, are disclosed. The candle comprises a consumable candle body having a wick, and at least one of the extinguishing devices mounted upon the wick. The extinguishing device comprises a body having a vertical bore through which the wick extends, the diameter of the bore chosen to closely embrace the wick to deprive the wick of oxygen, and a non-flammable upper surface having a receptacle in connection with an upper end of the bore. After the candle has burned down and is extinguished, the extinguishing device may be removed to expose a new wick portion to allow the candle to be lit. The extinguishing devices may be stacked upon the wick to provide for multiple successive extinguishments and relightings.

Abstract: Process for producing a candle surrounded by a container in which a prefabricated candle blank which does not completely fill the interior of the container is inserted and fixed in the container. An intermediate space between the candle blank and the inside wall of the container is then filled with liquid candle material and the container which has been filled in this way is allowed to cool. In order to be able to fix the inserted candle blank stationary in the container, before insertion into the container, the candle blank is heated on its bottom and its bottom which has become sticky in this way is located on the bottom of the container. The candle blank is immediately fixed in its position by releasing the heat of the heated bottom to the container bottom.

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 fragrance dispensing device has a candle follower with an annular shoulder portion for sitting on a shoulder of the candle to descend under gravity during consumption thereof maintaining the reservoir at a constant distance from the candle flame throughout burning. The candle follower can be formed at an upper end with a bowl having inner and outer walls forming inner and outer compartments receiving melted wax and volatile fragrance, respectively. The inner wall portion can be annular, extending substantially concentrically within the outer wall or, in another embodiment, there are two, semicircular, inner wall portions formed on diametrically opposite sides of the outer wall portion defining therewith respective fragrance oil containing compartments. In other examples, the reservoir is supported above the candle flame by vertically sliding rods or sleeves carried by the candle follower or is an annular dish seated on the upper edge of the bowl.
