<p>A canister 2 is used for a wick burning novelty lamp holder. The canister is typically a beverage canister adapted to receive a candle or a flammable liquid, into which the wick (20 fig 24) is immersed. The canister has a cover 4 including a depression for receiving the candle, or alternatively the cover (19 fig 24) has a through-hole which carries the wick such that a lower portion of the wick extends into the canister. The canister may include a lip extending around a circumference of a top surface, the lip engaging with either a rim formed on the lid to provide a seal, or the lip may engage with a tea-light candle 5. Wax may be added to the canister to provide ballast and support for the can sides, or sand may be used in place of wax, or a combination of both sand and wax. The novelty lamp may comprise a kit of parts which includes several tea-light candles. The lamp holder is formed by removing the base from an alternative canister having a depression for receiving a candle, and subsequently fitting the base to the lamp canister in order to form a cover. Alternatively the lamp holder cover is formed by providing means to grip a tea-light candle using a disk of suitable material formed to include a lip (10 fig 17).</p> |
