Abstract: Decorative apparatus comprising the assemblage of a receptacle of a type for accommodating a consumable liquid and a decorative assembly constructed to accommodate a candle for casting a decorative light when lit.

Abstract: A candelabra flower holder comprising: a base member having a column extending outwardly therefrom having an internally threaded bore formed into the distal end thereof; at least one J-shaped flower display member, each having an attachment aperture formed through the central section thereof and a plurality of flower mounting holes formed through the longest vertical section thereof; and a candle holder member having a threaded rod extending from one end thereof that is positionable sequentially through each of the attachment apertures of the flower display members and then screwable into the threaded bore of the column, and a candle receiving aperture at an opposite end thereof. The base member and column may be replaced with a base member having a candle stick aperture insertion portion sized to frictionally fit within the convention candle base holding aperture of the candle stick.

Abstract: An adapter (70) for supporting a taper candle and chimney glass on a candle ring (16) in a centerpiece arrangement includes a plate (72), a candle holder (76), end clip (74) for snap-releasable engagement with the inner ring of the candle ring, and a chimney glass holder (80). The candle ring (16) preferably includes radial extensions or runners (90) in order to form a swag centerpiece.

Abstract: A ceramic insulator having sidewalls, a front wall and a back wall with an outwardly extending mounting shoulder at the upper end of the front and back walls; a passageway extending between the sidewalls of the insulator to form an open interior portion within the insulator which receives a ribbon heating element and a slot in the front wall connecting with the open interior portion of the insulator for insertion of a ribbon heating element into the open interior portion; a bearing surface within the open interior portion to support a ribbon heating element; and an elongated radiused rib extending outwardly from each sidewall below the bearing surface to provide curved contact surfaces for a ribbon heating element.

Abstract: A stand-off insulator for supporting conductors or the like so that they will be maintained in spaced relation to a supporting structure which carries the insulator. The insulator is in the form of a one-piece body of electrically non-conductive material having an elongated portion provided with a pair of opposed free end regions at one of which the elongated portion has a structure for fixing to this one free end region an article such as a clamp, bracket, or the like, while the elongated portion has at its other free end region a structure for mounting the body on a support.
