Land/water candle holder

Abstract

A candle holder includes a bowl having a recessed portion for receiving a candle therein, a housing securely attached to the bowl, and a number of air inlet tubes for introducing fresh air into the housing via air passages formed in the bowl. The housing has an upper opening through which a candle is passable so as to be placed on the bowl. An upper cover is removably attached to the upper opening of the housing. A first tube is formed in a central portion of the upper cover, and a second tube is slidably received in the first tube for conducting exhaust air to an outside of the housing. An annular ring is connected to a lower end of the second tube by a number of spaced ribs for holding an upper end of the candle, preventing molten wax from dripping. A plurality of passages are defined by the spaced ribs through which fresh air is passable to the candle. A floating member is provided for retaining an air inlet port of each of the air inlet tubes to be above a water level when the candle holder is put into water. A top cover, supported by posts provided on the floating member, is provided for shielding an air outlet port from rain.
