This invention relates to the way one fills up candle nests on Hanukah holiday each day according to the custom in Judaism. The invention focuses on the action of oil refilling for lighting the threads of the candles nests.
One of the invention's goals is to quickly fill up the nests with oil by using physical force which enables easy refilling of all the nests in one action. Due to the fact that in Hanukah holiday one must light eight oil nests for each and every day of the eight holiday days, one must fill up each oil candle nest according to the rate day in Hanukah custom.
The conventional nest candle holder is usually simply manufactured, unsteady and uncomfortable to use. One must refill the oil in the nests every day of the holiday; one must do so by filling the nests one by one according to the Hanukah custom in Judaism. The conventional candle nest holder is usually bound to warp and has bad stability connection to the nests with the oil. Many have resorted using a verity of ways to stabilize, improve the candle nest holder. Plus the uncomfortable way of refilling the oil in the nests according to the Hanukah custom, and such ways are not always effective.
The intention of the drawings attached to the application is not to limit the scope of the invention and its application. The drawings are intended only to illustrate the invention and they constitute only one of its many possible implementations.
The object of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned disadvantages of the prior art by providing a candle nest holder comprising both new designed and stabilized nest connector to the nests holder.
Another feature of the present invention is to provide a safe, clean, comfortable and one time refill of the oil nests according to the Hanukah custom.
A simple, clean, useful and easy design of the problem is long needed, especially in Judaism where millions of candle oil nests are being used in Hanukah every year.
The purpose of the improved candle oil nest holder is to solve three main difficulties: (1) To avoid the need of refilling the candle nests one by one; (2) To stabilize the candle nest holder; and (3) To simplify the use of candle nest holder.
With the use of candle nest holder while filling the nests with oil, the problem is that one needs to carefully fill each and every one of them according to the mitzvah instructions of the Hanukah holiday. This action causes spilling oil, dirt, waist of oil and uncomfortable performance of the mitzvah.
This is an additional invention of an improved candle oil nest holder with the goal of providing easy, clean and efficient refill of the candle nests with oil in Hanukah holiday. This invention enables users to use candle nest holder without the need of filling the nests one by one and without worrying that the candles nest will fall aside.
This comfortable and easy action becomes available by using a strip pipe which connects the nests to a main oil reservoir. Said can be filled and fill up the candle oil nest with one action according to the holiday instructions. This comfortable and easy action becomes available by manufacturing a new set of oil candle nests comprising a pipe shape connector which ships the oil through a hole to the Maine oil reservoir. This invention of a new candle nest shape is connected to the reservoir by an under sleeve perforated with a hole in it similar to the way a tap seals and transports water.
According to the strict instructions of Hanukah holiday in Judaism one must refill some of the nests in relation to the exact day tradition legend of Hanukah. According to the Hanukah mitzvah instructions it is forbidden for a candle to go on lighting by using oil from the other nests reservoir after its own limited oil runs off. Therefore, the under nest perforated sleeve can be turned on its own axis in order prevent oil to continue refilling the nest and to maintain using its own oil supply solely.
This invention efficiently solves unnecessary leakage of oil by securing the connectors between the nests and the reservoir pipe with silicone sealers. The silicone sealers allows easy turning of the nests on their own axis in order to prevent oil from engaging on the other nest and sealing any linkage of oil.
It is known that in Judaism and actually in any religion one must improve constantly the ways he execute the strict religious instructions. This is an additional improvement of the way one fills the oil in candle nests and accordingly this action achieves a clean filling and avoids oil waste.
The invention embodiment offers easy clean and maintaining due to the fact that the oil can be emptied from nine holes of the oil reservoir.
This invention aims to be manufactured in low cost pricing and to be distributed as the next Hanukah menorah.
It is another object of this invention to provide a new candle nest comprising an under perforated sleeve positioned underneath the candle nest holder with the ability to stop oil splay from the main oil tank.
It is another object of this invention to improve the basic nest holder by providing a main oil reservoir up-side perforated pipe shape reservoir component embodied along and under the candle nest holder said comprising the ability off nesting the oil cups in a way that the under perforated pipe can engage the main reservoir and the oil can immediately inter the candle nest when parallel positioned to the main oil reservoir or can be turned against the main reservoir path and stop the oil splay to the candle nest according to the holiday instructions.
The figures depict bottom and side cross-section view of the candle nest holder. The candle oil nest pipe is embodied to the candle nest holder and positioned underneath the candle nest holder, and parallel to the nests holes which are positioned from above in order to receive the oil for the candles. The present invention achieves simplicity manufacturing and cheap materials expenses on the product. The figures depict special designed candle oil nests comprising the ability to mammal oil from said candle oil nest pipe through a perforated sleeve positioned as shown. This action of for filing the candle nests with oil coming from underneath perforated candle nests mammal from a center pipe shaped reservoirs enables one to fill up the candle nests with oil in one action from one of the nests and to flow oil to the other nests according to the Hanukah custom, comprising the ability to stop oil flow from getting riffled unnecessary.
As it is understood from the above explanations and the figures the present application refers to Hanukiah, which is a nine-branched candelabrum lit during the eight-day holiday of Hanukkah according the Jewish tradition. On each night of Hanukkah a new branch is lit. The ninth holder, called the shamash, literary translated as “servant”, is for a candle used to light all other candles. To be kosher the shamash must be offset on a higher or lower plane than the main eight candles or oil lamps.
The Hanukiah (1) subject matter of the present invention includes a base (2), eight oil holders (3) and a ninth one that serve as shamash, as depicted for example in
Each oil holder (3) is shaped as a hollow cup that has a top opening (31) a narrower hollow leg (32) that includes two opposite horizontal holes (33), which in fact constitute a horizontal aperture or a horizontal port (33) through the hollow vertical leg (32) for the passage of oil from the hollow vertical leg (32) into the inner horizontal pipe (22), and vice versa. It is possible that two of said oil holders (3) will each includes just one horizontal hole. The oil holders (3) are designed to receive oil for lighting a wick in it. It is possible that the each of said oil holders (3) will includes a rotation limiting element (34).
The base (2) includes nine vertical holes (21), as depicted for example in
The users light the Hanukiah during 8 days. On the first day of Hanukah holiday the user should light the shamash and one oil holder, on the second day he should light the shamash and two oil holders, and so on until the eighth day on which the user light the shamash and all the other eight oil holders. Therefore, the Hanukiah (1) enables the user to determine how many oil holders will be filled with oil, simply by turning ninety degrees of one of said oil holders. The one that will be rotated 90 degrees will not be filled by oil but only those between it and the shamash. For example, on the fourth day of the holiday in which the user should light four oil holders plus the shamash the user may turn the fifth oil holder as depicted in
The Hanukiah (1) may include hollow seals (5), as depicted for example in
From the above explanations and the drawings it is clearly understood that the hanukiah (1), which is the subject matter of the present invention, includes the base (2) and the nine oil holders (3) that are designed to receive oil for lighting a wick. The base (2) includes the horizontal pipe (22) that we can name is as the inner horizontal pipe (22), with the nine vertical holes (21) that we can name them as the nine vertical upper openings (21).
Each of said nine oil holders (3) is shaped as a hollow cup that has the top opening (31) and the hollow vertical leg (32). Each of said hollow vertical legs (32) includes in its bottom part the horizontal port (33). Each of said nine hollow vertical legs (32) is designed to be inserted into the base (2) through each of said nine vertical upper openings (21).
The bottom part of each of said nine hollow vertical legs (32) is designed to be positioned inside the inner horizontal pipe (22) in a way that enable a passage of oil from said hollow vertical leg (32) through said horizontal port (33) into said inner horizontal pipe (22), and vice versa. At least eight of the nine hollow vertical legs (32) are designed to be inserted into the base (2) through eight of the nine vertical upper openings (21) in a way that enables each of said eight oil holders (3) to rotate inside the base from an open position to a closed position.
wherein when one, or more, of said eight oil holders (3) is in the closed position then its bottom part blocks a passage of oil in the horizontal pipe (22) at a point in which said bottom part is located along said horizontal pipe (22), and whereby the hollow vertical legs (32) of said eight oil holders (3) are designed to block or to enable a passage of oil in eight different locations along the inner horizontal pipe (22).
