Abstract
A candle stand for holding and displaying a plurality of candles. The candle stand includes vertical rods that form a rigid tripod structure by attaching at the upper ends of the rods via washers, a pivoting, threaded attachment mechanism, and a threaded handle. The rods support horizontal rings that are provided with individual candle holders. The rods are provided with hooks spaced at intervals. The rings are provided with sets of projecting fingers that form channels. To attach the rings to the rods, the hooks are inserted into the corresponding channels on the rings. This forms an attractive, three-dimensional structure that is sufficiently rigid so as to hold a plurality of candles safely, yet is easily disassembled and collapsed into essentially flat components for easy shipping or storage.

- first, second, and third vertically-oriented rods that together form a tripod structure, each of said first, second and third rods having an upper end and a lower end, wherein said first rod further comprises at least one hook provided thereon and a first washer rigidly attached at said upper end, and said second rod further comprises at least one hook provided thereon and a second washer rigidly attached at said upper end;
- at least one horizontally-oriented ring, having a least one candle holder provided thereon;
- and
- means for removably attaching said at least one ring to said first, second and third rods.
A collapsible candle stand comprising:
- a first vertically-oriented rod, having an upper end, a lower end, a first washer attached at said upper end, and at least one hook provided thereon;
- a second vertically-oriented rod, having an upper end, a lower end, a second washer attached at said upper end, and at least one hook provided thereon;

A collapsible candle stand comprising:
- at least three generally vertically-oriented rods, each having an upper end, a lower end, and being removably coupled together to form a substantially open generally conical space between said upper ends and said lower ends of said at least three rods;
- and
- first and second horizontally-oriented rings, each ring having at least one candle holder provided thereon, said first ring being removably supported by said at least three rods at a first height and said second ring being removably supported by said at least three rods at a second height different from said first height.
