摘要： A candle fountain is provided which includes a base defining a reservoir therein which is adapted to hold a fluid, such as water. A pump having an inlet and an outlet is provided in communication with the base reservoir. A candle member is supported on the base, where the candle member includes a bore formed at least partially therethrough having an inlet and at least one outlet. The bore inlet is in fluid communication with the pump outlet such that fluid can be pumped from the base reservoir into the bore and out through the one or more bore outlets of the candle member. Advantageously, the candle member can be lit during operation of the candle fountain to provide additional sensory enjoyment.

摘要： A modular flooring system having multiple modular flooring units and elongate spacer strips. The flooring units include a rigid base, tiles adhesively bonded to the base, and a frame affixed to the base and extending around the tiles to surround the tiles. The base of the flooring unit is substantially impermeable to moisture, and the frame may be made of a laterally compressible material such as wood for absorbing stresses. The tiles may be slate, granite, marble, ceramic or the like. Slots may be formed in the edges of the flooring units and the elongate spacer strips for receiving elongate splines to join the units and strips. The elongate strips may have a thickness substantially identical to the overall thickness of the flooring units, so that a plurality of elongate strips and flooring units may be joined to define a substantially co-planar floor surface. The strips and units may be provided in different sizes so that the dimensions of the flooring system may be varied.

摘要翻译： 具有多个模块化地板单元和细长间隔条的模块化地板系统。 地板单元包括刚性基座，粘合到基座上的瓦片，以及固定在基座上并围绕瓦片延伸以围绕瓦片的框架。 地板单元的底部基本上不透湿，并且框架可以由诸如木材的可横向压缩的材料制成以吸收应力。 瓷砖可以是石板，花岗岩，大理石，陶瓷等。 狭槽可以形成在地板单元的边缘和细长间隔条中，用于接收细长花键以连接单元和条带。 细长带可以具有与地板单元的总体厚度基本相同的厚度，使得多个细长带和地板单元可以被连接以限定基本上共面的地板表面。 条和单元可以设置成不同的尺寸，使得地板系统的尺寸可以变化。
