Luminescent wax candle container

USPTO Application #: 20060177786
Title: Luminescent wax candle container
Abstract: A luminescent container includes a transparent or semi-transparent container body, a wax candle filled in the container body, a candle wick, a luminescent module mounted at the bottom of the wax candle, and a light-guide fiber. The luminescent module includes a power source, a control module, a photosensitive circuit and LEDs. The light-guide fiber is arranged along the candle wick so that its entrance end is placed close to the part of the candle wick sticking top of the wax candle and its exit end touches the photosensitive surface of the photosensitive component. When the wax candle is lit, the control module controls the luminescence of the LEDs and the wax candle container and body are illuminated with the LEDs. The shield of the wax candle container may have the wick flame to burn stably and safely and therefore make the LEDs illuminate stably.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a luminescent wax candle container, and more specifically, to a luminescent wax candle container having wax candle illuminated.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Wax candle container is often used to hold wax candle in many occasions such as art performances, family parties and wine bars. Lit wax candle may create an environment filled with beauty, peace and harmony. A conventional wax candle container is usually white. Even if it is colorful, its color is determined by the pigmentation dosage in the manufacturing process or by the color of the transparent container. Therefore, the color of a conventional container can not be changed after it is made. Moreover, its color can not be seen in a dim light.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Accordingly, a primary object of the present invention is to provide a luminescent wax candle container, convenient to be placed and held, that has a wax candle body illuminated while the wax candle is burning.

[0004] Another object of the present invention is to provide a luminescent wax candle container that prevents burning wax candle from giving off stink smells.

[0005] Still another object of the present invention is to provide a luminescent wax candle container that controls luminescence of wax candle through intensity of candle light to avoid influences from environmental light.

[0006] To achieve above objects, there is provided, in accordance with the invention, a luminescent wax candle container, comprising:

[0007] a transparent or semi-transparent container body with an opening;

[0008] a wax candle with a top surface and fully or partially filled in the container body;

[0009] a wick placed in the wax candle and sticking out the top of the wax candle;

[0010] a luminescent module placed at the bottom of the wax candle including a power supply, a control module connected to the power source, a photosensitive circuit including a photosensitive component with a photosensitive surface and one or more LEDs, in which the control module controls luminescence of the LEDs in response to signals from the photosensitive circuit; and

[0011] a light-guide fiber placed along with the wick, wherein its entrance end is close to the part of the wick sticking out the top of the wax candle and its exit end touches the photosensitive surface of photosensitive component.

[0012] The top of the wax candle refers to the upper part of the wax candle which is lit and is placed to face upward.

[0013] Further, the wax candle body is divided as a layer close to the luminescent module and the other layer far away from the luminescent module. The layer close to the luminescent module has a higher melting point than the layer far away from the luminescent.

[0014] Still further, the photosensitive component of the photosensitive circuit is housed in a darkroom and the photosensitive surface thereof is overlaid by a resilient cushion with a hole for receiving the light-guide fiber.

[0015] The invention, together with other objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood by reference to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
