Abstract

A luminescent container includes a transparent or semi-transparent container body, a wax candle filled in the container body, a candle wick, a luminescent module mounted at the bottom of the wax candle, and a light-guide fiber. The luminescent module includes a power source, a control module, a photosensitive circuit and LEDs. The light-guide fiber is arranged along the candle wick so that its entrance end is placed close to the part of the candle wick sticking top of the wax candle and its exit end touches the photosensitive surface of the photosensitive component. When the wax candle is lit, the control module controls the luminescence of the LEDs and the wax candle container and body are illuminated with the LEDs. The shield of the wax candle container may have the wick flame to burn stably and safely and therefore make the LEDs illuminate stably.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A luminescent wax candle container comprising: 
 a container body having an opening and made of transparent or semi-transparent materials;    a wax candle having a top surface and fully or partially filled in said container body;    a wick placed in said wax candle and sticking out the top surface of said wax candle;    a luminescent module placed at the bottom of said wax candle and including a power source, a control module connected to said power source, a photosensitive circuit including a photosensitive component with a photosensitive surface and one or more LEDs, in which said control module controls luminescence of said LEDs in response to signals from said photosensitive circuit; and    a light-guide fiber placed along with said wick, wherein one end of said light-guide fiber is close to the part of said wick sticking out the top surface of said wax candle and the other end touches the photosensitive surface of the photosensitive component in said photosensitive circuit.    
   
   
       2 . The luminescent wax candle container according to  claim 1 , wherein said wax candle is divided as a layer close to said luminescent module and a layer far away from said luminescent module, and the layer close to said luminescent module has a higher melting point than the layer far away from said luminescent module.  
   
   
       3 . The luminescent wax candle container according to  claim 2 , wherein the photosensitive component is housed in a darkroom.  
   
   
       4 . The luminescent wax candle container wax candle according to  claim 3 , further comprises a resilient cushion with a hole for receiving light-guide fiber and placed on the photosensitive surface of the photosensitive component.  
   
   
       5 . The luminescent wax candle container according to  claim 4 , wherein the resilient cushion is made of sponge.  
   
   
       6 . The luminescent wax candle container according to in  claim 2 , wherein the top surface of the wax candle is lower than the opening of said container body.  
   
   
       7 . The luminescent wax candle container as according to  claim 2 , further comprises a cap with an opening and adapted to fit over the container body.  
   
   
       8 . The luminescent wax candle container according to  claim 7 , wherein the top surface of said wax candle is higher than or aligned with the opening of said container body.  
   
   
       9 . The luminescent wax candle container according to  claim 1 , further comprises a base at the bottom of the container body, the luminescent module mounted in the base, the photosensitive component of the photosensitive circuit which is a photosensitive resistance, and said photosensitive surface and said LED facing top of said wax candle.  
   
   
       10 . The luminescent wax candle container according to  claim 1 , wherein it is provided three LEDs respectively generating red, green and blue colors and placed on said luminescent module in an equilateral triangle configuration.
