Devices and methods for facilitating the operations and usage of electronic candle devices are disclosed. In one exemplary aspect, an imitation candle device is disclosed. The imitation candle device comprises a body; a flame element protruding from top of the body; one or more light sources positioned to illuminate the flame element to produce an appearance of a true fire flame; a plurality of touch sensitive segments positioned on, or embedded in, a peripheral section of the body, wherein each of the plurality of touch sensitive segments is operable to produce an electrical signal in response to sensing a touch; and an electronic control circuitry operable to receive the electrical signal produced in response to sensing the touch by one or more of the plurality of touch sensitive segments and to control at least an output of the one or more light sources based on the electrical signal.

A flame simulating assembly is provided with a reflected flickering light that includes only one light source. Light from the light source passes through a rotating flicker element onto one or more reflectors, or mirrors, that reflect light up onto a simulated fuel bed and the some of the light is reflected off of the flicker elements towards a flame screen to create a simulated flame. The dipping flicker elements creates a fluttering light effect due to the flicker elements “intermittently dipping” into the light path. This fluctuating light is reflected onto the logs and ember bed in front and creates a dancing effect, which simulates glowing embers.

Various embodiments of electric lighting devices and, in particular, electric candles are described. The devices can include a flame element onto which light can be projected from a light source. Preferably, the light is projected within a focal area on the flame element. The housing of the devices can include projections that help maintain a vertical position of a circuit board within the housing.

An electronic lighting device and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The electronic lighting device includes an outer shell with a first opening at a top surface and a core contained within the outer shell. The core includes a left semicircular structure and a right semicircular structure arranged to form a circular shape that is aligned with the first opening at the top surface of the outer shell. The device includes a flame component positioned partially in the internal cavity. The device also includes a light emitting element disposed at least partially in a lighting element installation cradle on a sidewall of the core to hold the light emitting element at a non-zero angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the electronic lighting device to allow illumination of the flame component. The device further includes a control circuit to control an operation of the lighting emitting element.

A combination assembly or apparatus of a ceiling fan and heater. The combination assembly or apparatus includes a ceiling fan, a heater, a fan to blow air across the heater, a translucent band, motor driven rotating reflective foils each having mounted therein a light source (e.g. an LED) to shine through the translucent band to give a motion effect like a flickering.

The invention provides a flame-shaped chip, characterized by comprising an upper flame-shaped piece, an umbrella and a needle. The umbrella is arranged at the bottom of the upper flame-shaped piece and used for covering, and the needle is arranged in the umbrella as the umbrella rod. The needle and the umbrella are integrally or separately arranged. The flame-shaped chip is convenient to assemble and disassemble. The invention also provides a flameless candle, wherein the flameless candle comprises a flame-shaped chip and a candle-shaped housing. The flame-shaped chip comprises an upper flame-shaped piece, an umbrella and a needle. The umbrella is arranged at the bottom of the upper flame-shaped piece and used for covering, and the needle is arranged in the umbrella as the umbrella rod. The needle and the umbrella are integrally or separately arranged, and the needle is arranged on and/or contacts with the housing.

A flame simulation apparatus includes: a housing having an assembly chamber; a support in the chamber, having a fixed shaft with two ends respectively fastened to an optical assembly and a swing assembly; an LED assembly in the chamber, having a light emitting surface facing the optical assembly; a projection assembly having one end fixed inside the chamber and the other opposing end provided outside the housing; and an electromagnetic assembly, held at a bottom of the chamber, for generating magnetic field when energized. The electromagnetic assembly operates with the swing assembly to drive the support and the optical assembly thereon to swing back and forth around the fixed shaft as a rotation center. Light emitted by the LED assembly is projected on the projection assembly through the swinging optical assembly. The apparatus may simulate burning flames, increase swinging reliability, prevent stuck phenomenon, and involve simple structures and easy assembling.

A flame simulating assembly including a light source, a screen having a translucent region which subjects light from the light source transmitted therethrough to diffusion and a transparent region, and a flicker element for intermittently reflecting the light from the light source toward the screen, to provide images of flames in a predetermined portion thereof. The screen includes a fringe region positioned between the translucent region and the transparent region. The fringe region includes a number of diffusing areas for diffusing the light from the light source and a number of transparent areas positioned between the diffusing areas, to at least partially provide images of flames in the diffusing areas.
