Abstract
Generally the present invention comprises a decorative holder for an electrically powered candle emulation device comprising an outer, substantially transparent/translucent hollow cylindrical member. The holder further comprises a second member comprising a flexible cylindrical segment of an etched plastic material with a longitudinal slit along its entire length. The outer circumference of the cylindrical segment is slightly larger than the inside circumference of the outer cylindrical member and is of a dimension whereby it can be radially compressed to fit into the outer cylindrical member into juxtaposition with the inner walls for the fixed positioning of the second member within the first member. The holder further comprises a third member comprising a transparent colored film of essentially the same outer dimensional area of the second member. The third film colored member is positioned between the first and second members in order to provide decorative coloring to the cylindrical holder. The third member is provided with a longitudinal slit similar to that of the second member for permitting the placement thereof in a wrap around fashion on the second member. Appropriate candle emulation electronics are placed into the holder to provide the effect of a wax candle contained within an etched and colored decorative holder.
