Abstract
According to embodiments of the present invention, a flameless candle includes a slide member including a protrusion and a nose. The flameless candle also includes a base including a radial aperture in a horizontal plane. The radial aperture is configured to receive the protrusion and permit a movement of the slide member in a corresponding radial direction. The slide member has an ON position when the protrusion is located at an inwards position along the radial direction. The slide member also has an OFF position when the protrusion is located at an outwards position along the radial direction. The flameless candle also includes a battery contact including a rotatable portion and a mechanical contact portion. In an embodiment, the rotatable portion is configured to rotate in a vertical plane. The nose of the slide member is configured to rotate the rotatable portion as the slide member moves between the ON position and the OFF position, and cause the mechanical contact portion to contact a battery when the slide member is in the ON position.
