AN ELECTRIC CANDLE AND ASSEMBLY THEREOF

An electric candle (1) comprising a housing (2,3;3';3") with an upper opening (4,5;5';5"), a support element (40;40';40") with a support tip (45;45';45"), a flame element (6;6';6") comprising an upper flame portion (7;7';7") extending out of said upper opening (4,5;5';5") and an engagement recess (48;48') for receiving said support tip (45;45';45") in a manner where the flame element (6;6';6") rests on top of the support element (40;40';40") and the contact point between the support tip and the engagement recess defines an engagement point (61;61';61"), an actuator (41,66,67;41',66',67';41",66",67") for applying a force to the flame element (6;6';6"), and a light source (11;11') for emitting light on the upper flame portion (7;7';7"), where the support tip (45;45';45"), the engagement recess (48;48') and the actuator (41,66,67;41',66',67';41",66",67") are configured so that said force causes the flame element (40;40';40") to simultaneously swing about said engagement point (61;61';61") and rotate about the vertical axis (62; 62'; 62") through said engagement point (61;61';61").
