The fixture includes an annular top and a counterbalance, the annular top adapted to receive the candle, and the counterbalance includes a groove on a top surface. The groove adapted to receive a magnetic disc. The candleholder has a first position in which the candle holder is upright along a longitudinal axis and a second position in which the candle holder is inverted about the longitudinal axis. The candle remains consistently upright in all orientations of the candle holder by virtue of gyroscopic mechanics and the counterbalance.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2011Publication date: March 29, 2012Inventor: Damon L.

Publication number: 20120064468Abstract: The present invention provides a unique container for a candle with matches and a method of manufacturing an inexpensive canned candle by the use of conventional canning methods that can be stored for emergency and disaster situations for extended periods of time where the candle and a method of lighting them are easily available. The canned candle will be constructed of a container made from aluminum or steel that has been pressed formed in one piece. It will have a conventionally sealed pop-top lid used in the canning process of both foods and soft drinks, but not normally used in the process of manufacturing candles.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2011Publication date: March 15, 2012Inventor: David P.

Publication number: 20110311925Abstract: A candle stand that displays dynamically by a lit candle is revealed. The candle stand includes a liquid container with a slot for receiving a candle arranged at on a top thereof, a base disposed under the liquid container, a driving member having a motor and a circuit board, and a candlelight optical sensor arranged on the bottom of the liquid container. When the candle is lit, candlelight triggers the optical sensor that drives the motor working by the circuit board. Thus ornaments move dynamically. When the candle light is over, the motor stops operating.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2010Publication date: December 22, 2011Inventor: Tsan-Yao CHEN

Publication number: 20110294081Abstract: The invention provides transforming container candles that, during burning, exhibit striking color-changing and pattern-forming characteristics. A color-changing transforming container candle may comprise at least a first and a second layer, column or core of wax of different colors. During burning of the candle, the colored wax components become liquefied and intermixed, ultimately transforming into a single layer of wax of a final color differing from that of the original wax layers. Color-changing candles configured in particular color combinations and arrangements of wax components are useful for color therapy of the human energy system, including the chakras and meridians. Transforming candles can be “sentimented” with benevolent intentions and energies (such as the desire for healing, world peace, etc.) by a method that includes the practice of mindfulness by a chandler during the production of the candle.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2011Publication date: December 1, 2011Inventors: Margaret Jean McLaren, George Inana
