Abstract
Flameless candles are described that improve the mounts used to support the flame sheet. The improved mounts can include a support base or a hook for movably supporting a flame sheet. The enhanced mounts improve the manufacturing of the assembly of the flameless candle and also enable the flame element to have a more natural flame-like flicker of light.

1-20. (canceled)
A support structure for an electronic candle that comprises a flame sheet, comprising:
- a base configured to allow a bottom portion of the flame sheet to rest on a surface of the base, wherein the flame sheet has a waist and the bottom portion of the flame sheet has a cross-sectional diameter that increases from a location of the waist in a direction of the surface of the base that the bottom portion of the flame sheet rests upon, a bracket;
- a first magnet coupled to the bottom portion of the flame sheet;
- a second magnet below the base;
- a first coil structure below the base;
- and
- a second coil structure below the bracket,
- wherein the second magnet, the first coil structure, and the second coil structure are configured to receive an electrical stimulus,
- wherein the first magnet is configured to move in response to a magnetic force produced by the electrical stimulus to cause the flame sheet to move.
