Abstract

The fireplace candle provides a simulation of a burning wood log in a fireplace. The fireplace candle is adapted for mounting to a ceramic log. The fireplace candle includes a container for holding wax candle elements. A mount extends from the container to hold the candle behind the simulated log so that the container is out of view. The wicks of the candle elements extend above the logs so that when the wicks are lit, flames are visible above the simulated log. The wicks are of varying heights to enhance the simulation. The mount includes one or more mounting tabs engaging a bark pattern deposed on the surface of the simulated log. The mounting tabs may be a resilient material shaped to provide a tensioning grip on the log, and/or a malleable material that can be manipulated to fit into crevices within the bark pattern of the simulated log.

Claims
