Melody candle assembly

Abstract

A melody candle assembly for reproducing a melody or music responding to a light signal, comprising a candle provided with at least a recess at its bottom surface and having a wick and an elongate optical fiber embedded therein, said optical fiber being extended over the lower end of the candle; a candlestick element for holding the candle with the top surface provided with a center hole to which the lower end of the optical fiber is extended and at least two apertures spaced apart around the center hole; a melody reproducing unit provided in the candlestick element for selectively reproducing at least two melodies or music. The melody reproducing unit includes a photo sensor fitted opposite the lower end of the optical fiber to sense a light signal transmitted through the optical fiber for making the unit prepared for operation and at least two melody selection switch knobs corresponding to the number of the melodies or music stored therein. The switch knobs are movably protruded over the respective apertures formed on the top surface of the candlestick element so that the switch knobs are selectively pressed down for selecting a melody or music by the candle fitted on the candlestick element with the unselected switch knob(s) received in the recess(es) at the bottom surface of the candle.
