Abstract
An electronic flameless candle including a body having a top surface, a bottom surface, a sidewall between the top surface and the bottom surface, and a cavity defined by the top surface, the bottom surface and the sidewall, the body configured in shape and size to simulate a true flame candle. The candle may also include a light source operably connected to the body, the light source electrically operated to illuminate in a way that simulates a natural flicker of a real candle flame. The candle may also include a scent component, operably connected to the body, the scent component configured to emit a scent when heated and/or a sensor component, operably connected to the body, the sensor component configured to sense an environmental condition and affect a mode of the light source upon the sensing of the environmental condition.
Claims16
An electronic flameless candle, comprising:
- a body comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, a sidewall between the top surface and the bottom surface, and a cavity defined by the top surface, the bottom surface and the sidewall, the body configured in shape and size to simulate a true flame candle;
- a light source operably connected to the body and positioned to be generally flush with an exterior surface of the body, the light source electrically operated to illuminate in a way that simulates a natural flicker of a real candle flame;
- and
- a control switch comprising the light source, wherein at least a portion of the control switch is configured in shape and size to simulate a true flame candle's wick, the portion of the control switch simulating a true flame candle's wick extending distally from the top surface.
An electronic flameless candle, comprising:
- a body comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, a sidewall between the top surface and the bottom surface, and a cavity defined by the top surface, the bottom surface and the sidewall, the body configured in shape and size to simulate a true flame candle;
- a LED light source operably connected to the body and located such that at least a portion of the LED light source is positioned in an opening of the top surface where an interior and an exterior of the top surface of the body meet, the light source electrically operated to illuminate in a way that simulates a natural flicker of a real candle flame;
- and
- a control switch comprising the LED light source, wherein at least a portion of the control switch is configured in shape and size to simulate a true flame candle's wick, the portion of the control switch simulating a true flame candle's wick extending distally from the top surface.
An electronic flameless candle, comprising:
- a body comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, a sidewall between the top surface and the bottom surface, and a cavity defined by the top surface, the bottom surface and the sidewall, the body configured in shape and size to simulate a true flame candle;
- and
- an artificial wick comprising a LED light source operably connected with a wick component configured in shape and size to simulate a true flame candle's wick, the wick component extending distally from the exterior surface of the body;
- wherein the artificial wick operates as at least part of a push button control switch for the candle.
