Primary Examiner: Sember; Thomas M.
Assistant Examiner: Ton; Anabel
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Litman; Richard C.
An artificial floating candle that mimics real burning candles. The floating candle comprises two parts, a floating candle-like device and an electrical circuit that controls the amount of power supplied to each floating candle. The floating candle-like device comprises an incandescent lamp, a lamp housing socket, a candle, a candle base, grommets or O-rings, at least two conductor insulated wires, a multi conductor, a trunk line, a water tight splice, and a candle enclosure. There are three sections that comprise the electrical circuitry of the floating candles: a low voltage supply (AC to DC, high to low voltage conversion), a pulse width modulation programmed micro-controller and a power output section (to control the incandescent lamp voltage to produce flickering flames), and trunk and feeder lines. The floating candles may be used as Christmas lights, at wedding reception halls, amusements parks, or in pools or ponds at evening parties as decoration. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention is an electrically powered floating candle.
FIG.
1 shows an arrangement of electrically powered floating candles displayed in a pool 14.
The floating candle comprises two parts, a floating candle-like device 10 and electrical circuitry 12 that controls the amount of power supplied to each floating candle-like device 10.
The floating candle arrangement further comprises an electrical plug 60 to receive line power from an electrical outlet 62.
FIG.
2 shows one example of a floating candle-like device 10 in water 16.
The floating candle-like device 10 comprises an incandescent lamp 20, a lamp housing socket 22, a candle 24, a candle base 26, a wire entry grommet 28, a pressure-fit grommet 30, at least two conductor insulated wires (feeder lines) 32, a multi-conductor trunk line 34, a water tight wire splice 36, and a candle enclosure 38.
The floating candle-like device 10 includes an incandescent lamp 20 which mimics the appearance of a real burning candle.
The candle lamp 20 can be transparent, translucent, or appear in a variety of colors.
The candle lamp 20 has an illuminating top portion 40 and a lower base portion (not shown).
The illuminating top portion 40 extends out of a top portion 42 of the candle 24 with a lower base portion (not shown) sitting within the lamp housing socket 22 of the candle 24.
The lamp housing socket 22 is dimensioned and configured to receive a lamp base.
The lamp housing socket 22 is designed to anchor the base portion of the incandescent lamp 20 securely within the candle 24.
The candle 24 is hollow and cylindrically-shaped with its outer surface dimensioned and configured to resemble a real candle.
The preferred composition of the candle 24 is plastic, however, any light weight material that resembles a real candle will suffice.
The candle 24 has a top portion 42 and a lower portion 44.
The candle 24 holds the (lamp).
backslash.
(lamp housing socket) complex at its top portion 42 and its lower portion 44 is secured into the center of the candle base 26
