Candle holder with a consistent upright candle

Abstract

A candle holder is described having a fixture with a candle, the fixture pivotally positioned in a circular gimbal that is pivotally positioned in a cylindrical housing, an enclosure that is securely fastened with a proximal end of the housing. a first upright position of the candle holder and a second inverted position of the candle holder.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.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The invention relates to a candle holder, and more particularly, to a gyroscopic candle holder that has a fixture with a counter balance with a candle that maintains the candle in a consistently upright position.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]A variety of candle holders are known in the prior art. A candle holder generally has a body that receives the end of the candle. The candle holders with a glass cover are also known in the art. The disadvantage with these candle holders is that a user has to either tilt the candle holder or remove the candle from the candle holder to light the candle. Sometimes the user has to remove the glass cover to light the candle. In such a situation, the wax often undesirably drips out of the candle and the candle holder.[0005]When the user carries the candle it is not possible to maintain the candle in a consistently upright position. When a candle is not in a consistently u...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The patent describes a candle holder that includes a counterbalance with a candle. The holder is pivotally positioned in a circular gimbal that is pivotally positioned in a housing. The holder also includes an envelope / enclosure that is securely fastened with a proximal end of the housing. The holder has a first upright position and a second inverted position. The housing has an aperture to receive the gimbal and the counterbalance. The counterbalance has an upper annular portion with a recess and a groove on its top surface to hold a magnetic disc. The candle includes a wick, wax ring, wick tab, and cover, which is mounted on the magnetic disc. The counterbalance is pivotally mounted in the gimbal and the gimbal is pivotally mounted in the housing. The candle is securely held in the fixture by magnetic forces. The candle holder has consistent upright position and can be easily removed and replaced. The gyroscopic mechanics maintain the upright position of the candle in all orientations of the holder."

Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage with these candle holders is that a user has to either tilt the candle holder or remove the candle from the candle holder to light the candle.

In such a situation, the wax often undesirably drips out of the candle and the candle holder.

When the user carries the candle it is not possible to maintain the candle in a consistently upright position.

When a candle is not in a consistently upright position, there is always a danger of the wax dripping over fingers or even the fingers getting burnt.
