Abstract:
A burner for household or recreational use, such as for generating a decorative play of flames, emission of heat or use in, for instance, a hot plate or fireplace, in a generally safe, clean and efficient manner. The burner is equipped with a fuel stock holder (2, 22) provided with a fuel receiving body (5, 25, 45) from a form-retaining, isotropic, heat-resistant and porous material for retaining liquid fuel by means of absorption. The fuel receiving body (5, 25, 45) is located in a casing (9, 29, 49) with at least one flame opening (10, 30, 50) for combusting fuel at the surface of the fuel receiving body and which is connected to the fuel receiving body (5, 25, 45) without substantial residual spaces remaining between the casing (9, 29, 49) and the fuel receiving body (5, 24, 45), or the fuel receiving body is arranged freely without casing.
Abstract:
A candle assembly is disclosed including a melting plate (10) and a fuel element (14). The melting plate includes a bottom wall (24) and a capillary lobe (22) having a peaked apex (2S) protruding upwardly therefrom. The fuel element includes a bottom surface (28) having a depression therein for receiving the peaked apex. The peaked apex may take many forms, such as hemispherical, conical, egg shaped, pyramidal, etc., and may have a pointed apex or a rounded apex. The depression in the fuel element may be complementary to the capillary lobe such that a capillary space is disposed therebetween and a portion of the bottom surface of the fuel element is in thermal communication with a portion of the bottom wall surrounding the capillary lobe.
Abstract:
The candle finial (10) is a decorative, ornamental body having a base end (14), a top end (18), a central section (16), and a cavity (12) extending from the base end (14) into the central section (16). The cavity (12) is an inverted opening defined within the body and is dimensioned and configured to receive a candlewick (75). The finial (10) may have the shape of a heart, a figurine, a holiday ornament or any other desired shape or design. The finial (10) may be made of any material, such as plastic, wood, metal, etc. In use, the finial (10) is placed on a cooled, unlit candle (70). The finial (10) is disposed on the top surface of the cooled candle (70) after a lighted candlewick (75) has been extinguished to cover up the unsightly blackened candlewick (75).
Abstract:
A candle assembly includes a melting plate, a wick holder, and a fuel element that fits over the wick holder. The wick holder engages the melting plate preventing the accidental removal thereof from the melting plate. The fuel element is configured to facilitate successful initial ignition and sustained burn of the wick by having a duct dimensioned to ensure that melted fuel material engages the wick when dripping down the duct. The fuel element may also contain an outer shell of fuel material surrounding an inner core of fuel material having different properties than the fuel material of the outer shell. The wick holder includes a wick extending from a sleeve. The sleeve having a constricted portion that reduces an effective capillary fluid flow capacity of the wick and may thereby regulate how quickly fuel is consumed when the candle assembly is burning. A capillary well disposed between the wick holder and the melting plate may be adapted to promote a successful relight after an initial burn of the candle assembly. The candle assembly, may be adapted to promote laminar air flow thereacross during a burn in a substantially calm atmospheric environment.
Abstract:
Knit candle wicks (14) provide a stable, higher yield yet similar burn rate or flame height (16) as compared to lower yield braided candle wicks by providing improved capillary flow as well as an increase in the functional surface area. In addition, candle burning safety is improved as the wicks of this invention provide a self-trimming wick (14) that creates a more stable flame height and uniform wax pool diameter as the candle burns. In preferred forms, the knit wicks of this invention are a warp knit construction in which the interlocking loops run lengthwise in the direction of the wick material. In addition, the various warp knit constructions can comprise both interlocking loop or warp ends (22) as well as weft or laid-in yarns (22).
Abstract:
A combustion wick (6) made of a porous material which comprises, in order to provide a slender flame in conformity with a combustor requirement when a liquid fuel is sucked up with the combustion wick for combustion at the tip end thereof, a suction portion (62) for sucking up the liquid fuel by capillarity and a tip-end combustion portion (61) used for combustion, wherein an outer covering layer (8) for restricting the volatilization of the liquid fuel is provided on the side faces excluding an upper end face (6a) of the combustion portion (61).
Abstract:
A wick-type burner has a manual flame-extinguishing means arranged such that a lever (37) is pushed up by a pin (43) by the operation of a manual flame-extinguishing member (41) so that it is released from engagement with a first retainer part (33a), thereby lowering a wick (24) until the lever (37) engages with a second retainer part (33b); and a vibration flame-extinguishing means arranged such that the lever (37) is pushed up by a collar (39a) by the falling of a weight (39) so that it does not engage with either the first retainer part (33a) or the second retainer part (33b), thereby lowering the wick (24) further. The burner can ensure safety in an emergency, such as in an earthquake or the like, by extinguishing the flame within a short period of time. When extinguishing the flame normally, the flame is first suppressed to a small flame simply by operating the manual flame-extinguishing means (41), and is held at this state for between 90 to 200 seconds before it is extinguished, thereby providing a marked reduction in odor when extinguishing the flame, making the burner more pleasaant to use.
Abstract:
A multifunction decorative torch comprising has a base providing an upwardly directed light, a cap supporting a liquid fueled torch insert having a wick and a fuel reservoir, and an outer wall supporting the cap and defining an interior space between the base and cap. The upwardly directed light illuminates the outer wall from within the interior space. The liquid fueled torch insert is supported by the cap such that the wick burns outside the interior space between the base and cap and the fuel reservoir is at least partially inside the interior space between the base and cap.
