Candlestand

Abstract

A candlestick is proposed which can prevent molten wax from sticking to a pin for supporting a candle. A water dish is provided on a shelf of a support stand. A plurality of pins for supporting candles are provided in the water dish at intervals. Water is put in the water dish to such an extent that the pins are almost immersed therein. The stored water spontaneously put out flames of candles stood on the pins and prevents molten wax from sticking to the pins by covering the pins with the candles until they are spontaneously put out by the water.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A candlestand comprising a plurality of shelves, a water dish on said each shelf for containing water, said each water dish having a bottom plate, and a pin mounted on said bottom plate of said water dish for supporting a candle.  
     
     
         2 . A candlestand as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said water dishes have such a length as to extend for substantially the entire length of said each shelf, and said plurality of pins are provided in said each water dish at intervals.  
     
     
         3 . A candlestand comprising a support stand, a water dish mounted on said support stand for containing water, said water dish having a pin for supporting a candle so that the bottom of a candle supported on said pin will be immersed in the water in said water dish.  
     
     
         4 . A candlestand comprising a support formed with a recess for storing water, and a pin stand placed on a support portion provided in said recess so as to be taken out through an open top of said recess, said pin stand having a pin for supporting a candle so that the bottom of a candle stood on said pin will be immersed in the water in said recess.  
     
     
         5 . A candlestand as claimed in  claim 4  further comprising a temporary locking mechanism for temporarily locking said pin stand placed on the support portion.  
     
     
         6 . A candlestand as claimed in  claim 5  wherein said temporary locking mechanism comprises an engaging element having a rounded tip and received in said pin stand, said rounded tip received in a pin hole formed in the outer periphery of said pin stand, a spring for biasing said engaging element in such a direction as to protrude from said pin hole, and an annular groove formed in the inner periphery of said support to receive the tip of said engaging element.
