First Claim
Patent Images
1. A candle holder mount for use in securing a candle holder on an object having a flat surface of sufficient size to accommodate the bottom of the candle holder, said candle holder mount comprising:
- a substantially flat base comprising an upwardly facing surface for slidably receiving the candle holder thereupon in a sideways sliding motion and at least one raised peripheral edge portion defining a lip for slideably receiving portions of the candle holder beneath said lip;
said lip having a downwardly facing surface extending inwardly at an upward angle defining a tapered space between said downwardly facing surface and the upwardly facing surface of said base; and
said lip extending a distance along the peripheral edge of said base that is shorter than the entire distance along the periphery of said base and defining an open end of the base along which said lip does not extend so as to allow the candle holder to be inserted onto the upwardly facing surface from the open end in a sideways sliding motion and slid across said surface into the tapered space for releasable assembly with the base and allow the candle holder to be disassembled from the base by sideways sliding motion a sufficient distance to move said portions of the candle holder out from beneath the lip;
said downwardly facing surface engageable with an upper peripheral edge of the candle holder so that said candle holder is disposed inwardly from the peripheral edge of said substantially flat base; and
means for affixing said base to said flat surface of the object.

8. A candle holder mount for use in securing a candle holder on a flat surface of an object, said candle holder mount comprising:
-
a substantially flat base having at least one raised peripheral edge defining a lip along a portion of the periphery of said base; said lip having an inwardly extending surface rising up from and disposed on an acute angle to an upward facing surface of said base; said inwardly extending surface and said upward facing surface defining a tapered space beneath said inwardly extending surface; said inwardly extending surface engageable with an upper peripheral edge of the candle holder; and said lip extending a sufficient distance along said peripheral edge to define an open end of the base along which said lip does not extend so as to allow the candle holder to be inserted onto the upwardly facing surface from the open end in a sideways sliding motion and slid across said surface into the tapered space for releasable assembly with the base and allow the candle holder to be disassembled from the base by sideways sliding motion a sufficient distance to move said portions of the candle holder out from beneath the lip. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)
