Device For Placing And Removing Birthday Candles at a Single Time On/From The Cake Regardless Of The Number of Candles

Abstract

A device that makes it possible to place birthday candles on a cake at a single time regardless of the number of candles. The device includes a ring (1) provided with a number of holes (2), in which the candleholders and the candles are introduced, and placed on four feet (4). In the middle of the ring (1), a plate (6) connected to the ring by four arms (8) will accommodate the candles in the holes (7). A transparent plastic disc (9) is placed on the arms (8) and the plate (6) in order to cover the entire inside area of the ring (1). The device particularly serves to place and remove birthday candles on / from a cake.

Description

[0001] This application is a national stage completion of PCT / FR2006 / 001531 which claims priority from French Application Serial No. 0508837 filed Aug. 29, 2005.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention concerns a device for placing candles on a birthday cake. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Traditionally, placing candles has always been tedious because the process occurs on the cake itself, using small individual supports (candleholders). [0004] There will be as many holes as there are candles, which may ruin the decorations. Until the candles are blown out, wax melts and runs all over the cake, requiring that it be scraped off carefully after the candles are removed in order to avoid ruining the cake and ingesting candle wax. In blowing out the candles, there is a risk of spreading saliva droplets and germs; when the candles are extinguished, toxic smoke results which is annoying for guests, and therefore, we hasten to remove the candles one at a time. SUMMARY OF THE ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0005] The device of the invention resolves all these problems. It actually comprises a ring proportionate to the diameter of the cake equipped with holes formed with the same diameter as the candleholder, allowing placement of as many candles as desired. This preparation can be done next to the cake without touching it. The ring has four feet; when it is positioned on the cake, this considerably reduces the number holes and consequent damage to the cake. The ring is fashioned so that it catches the wax dripping from the candles and the cake is not dirtied. It is also provided with a transparent plastic disc that prevents the spread of saliva droplets and germs onto the cake.

[0006] Finally, once the candles have been extinguished, they can all be removed at the same time by lifting up the ring, shortening the time during which the candles continue to produce toxic smoke.

[0010] Four detachable feet can be attached to the ring to maintain it at a certain height from the cake. Each foot may have a stop to prevent it from sinking into the cake.
