Party candle having visually commemorative effect

Claim 1

A party candle assembly having a visually commemorative effect and an audible effect, comprising: a decorative plate having a front surface and a rear surface, a concave groove in the form of commemorative indicia on the front surface, an operating device groove and a switching plate groove in the rear surface; a light emitting diode connected to the decorative plate adjacent the concave groove for shedding light into the concave groove; a rear plate having a front surface attached to the rear surface of the decorative plate, the rear plate containing an electric wire groove; a leg connected to a bottom surface of at least one of the plates for supporting the decorative and rear plates; a candle at a top surface of the decorative and rear plates, said candle including a wick; a switching plate extending through said candle, said switching plate having an upper end which is adjacent said wick and a lower end extending through said switching plate groove and into said operating device groove, said switching plate comprising first and second metal plates and a meltable sheet between said first and second metal plates for separating said first and second metal plates from each other, said meltable sheet being meltable at said upper end of said switching plate due to heat from said wick when said wick is burning, to establish electrical connection between said first and second plates at said upper end of said switching plate; an operating device in said operating device groove, the lower end of said switching plate being connected to said operating device and a pair of wires connected between said light emitting diode and said operating device; said operating device comprising a casing having a wire passing hole for receiving said pair of wires, a plurality of batteries in said casing, a positive terminal in said casing connected to positive ends of said batteries, a negative terminal in said casing connected to negative ends of said batteries, a cover for closing said casing, said first metal plate of said switching plate being soldered to one of said positive and negative terminals; said operating device including a sound chip in said casing, one of said wires from said light emitting diode being connected to one of said positive and negative terminals and the other of said wires from said light emitting diode being connected to said second metal plate of said switching plate, said sound chip including a pair or terminals electrically connected between said other of said positive and negative terminals and said second metal plate of said switching plate so that when said wick burns to melt said sheet, the upper ends of said first and second metal plates electrically connect to each other to supply electricity from said positive and negative terminals to said chip for causing said chip to produce sound and to said light emitting diode for closing said light emitting diode to emit light.
