Abstract

Disclosed is a supporting structure associated with a base of a candle lamp for internally reenforcing a plastic figure-form shell of the candle lamp. The supporting structure includes a long hollow tubular member and a sleeve member. The tubular member has an enlarged top portion for receiving a lamp socket therein and a lower end for inserting into an upper portion of the sleeve member. The sleeve member has a lower connecting portion for associating with a lamp base. Thereby, a plastic figure-form shell of the candle lamp can be put over the supporting structure without easily becoming deformed or bent after assembly.
