candleholders*, curves*

candleholders - Devices for supporting candles, having one or more candle sockets or spikes to secure candles; sometimes having drips to catch wax, push-ups, and other devices for removing the stub, or adjustable features for controlling the position of the flame. For lamps using candles as the source of illumination and containing the candle within a vessel, use "candle lamps."
curves - Lines having a locus that may be conceived to be traced by a moving point, the direction of motion continuously changing or deviating from a straight line. A closed curve is a path that repeats itself, and thus encloses one or more regions; simple examples include circles, ellipses, and polygons. Open curves such as parabolas, hyperbolas, and spirals have infinite length.
