<p>A candle holder (1) has a socket for receiving the bottom end of a votive or other candle (C). The socket has a central cylindrical base (9) and four prongs (16) that are upstanding from an annular member (10) that encircles the base (9), for holding the candle(C) upright. The annular member (10) and its prongs (16) are of a metal, namely aluminium, that has a better thermal conductivity than the metal, brass, of the base (9). This ensures good dissipation of heat from where the candle (C) is being held within the prongs (16), and there is greater conservation of heat where the bottom-end face of the candle (C) abuts the base (9) so as to prolong burning at that end and enhance drainage of wax through holes (19) of the base (9). <Figure 1></p> |
