Abstract: A support pole is received in a pole receiver. The pole has an outwardly biased spring tab that is compressible by an inside surface of the pole receiver until the spring tab is inserted to a location above a top surface of the pole receiver, thereby creating a secure attachment of the torch assembly to the pole.

Abstract: A device having a flame bowl surrounded by a first, inner shroud. The device includes a shell having a second, outer shroud on an upper portion thereof, the outer shroud circumscribing at least a portion of the first shroud, and a support supporting the flame bowl and the first shroud in a fixed relationship with respect to the outer shroud.

Abstract: An apparatus having a fuel container, a flame bowl, and a wick holder disposed proximate the flame bowl is disclosed. An open fuel filling port disposed in the flame bowl prevents entry of ignition sources into the fuel container but allows for the flow of liquid thereinto, whereby a user of the torch may refuel the torch without need to touch the torch.

Abstract: An exemplary oil burning lamp comprises a reservoir configured for storing a supply of oil, a base, a burner tube and a wick. The base is being sized and shaped to receive the reservoir. The burner tube is movably mounted to the reservoir between a retracted position and an extended position. The burner tube has a first end, an opposing second end and at least one opening. In the retracted position, the both ends are located within the reservoir. In the extended position, the first end is located within the reservoir, the second end is located outside the reservoir, and the opening is located such that fragranced components of oil stored in the reservoir can be entrained by air and emanated from the base. The wick is mounted to the burner tube, extends into the reservoir, and extends outwardly from the second end of the burner tube.

Abstract: A fragrance ring includes a fragrance holder and a quantity of liquid scent. The fragrance holder includes a rim portion attached to a top of a body portion to form a fragrance trough. The body portion is received by a chimney retainer of an oil lamp and the body portion receives a glass chimney. The fragrance trough is filled with the liquid scent. An oil lamp flame causes the liquid scent to evaporate and emit a pleasant aroma. In a second embodiment, the fragrance ring includes a snap-on trough ring and a liquid scent. A snap-on area is formed on an inside perimeter of the snap-on trough ring at a bottom thereof. The snap-on trough is snapped on to a top of a chimney retainer to secure the snap-on trough ring thereto. The snap-on trough ring is filled with the liquid scent. The oil lamp flame causes the liquid scent to evaporate and emit a pleasant aroma. In a third embodiment, the fragrance ring includes a trough ring, trough ring retainer, and a solid scent mixture.

Abstract: An oil candle having an oil seal includes an oil seal, oil candle base, quantity of oil, and glass wick tube. The oil seal includes a tapered cylinder with a bore down substantially a middle thereof. The bore is sized to slidably receive a standard size glass wick tube. A notch is cut down the length of the oil seal to allow air flow between the outside environment and the inside of the oil candle base. The cross section of the notch is small enough to prevent oil from dripping through thereof, if the oil candle base is knocked over. The oil seal is sized to be firmly received by a mouth of the oil candle base when on the glass wick tube.

Abstract: The burner assembly include a container having a neck with a central opening through which a liquid fuel is introduced into the container and a one-piece cap removably mounted on the container neck. The cap has a crowned central portion with a central opening through which a tubular wick holder made from a crimpable material extends. The wick holder has an outer end through which the exposed outer end of a wick extends and an inner end including a radially outwardly extending flange which engages a first seating portion on the inner surface of the cap and surrounding the cap opening. The wick holder also has an intermediate portion including a crimped area which engages a second seating portion of the outer surface of the cap and surrounding the cap opening. This crimped area cooperates with the inner flange on the wick holder to hold the wick holder in place on the cap.

Abstract: The burner assembly includes a canister molded from a synthetic plastic material and having a neck portion defining an opening for introducing a combustible liquid into the canister, a seat member and a wick holder. The seat member includes a sleeve portion, which fits snugly inside the canister opening and has an annular collar which extends downwardly over and peripherally around an outer lip on the neck portion of the canister and is crimped onto that lip. The wick holder is removably mounted in the seat and can be removed to refill the canister. Complementary grooves on the wick holder and projections on the seat member permit the wick holder to be releasably locked in the installed position.

Abstract: The burner assembly includes a canister molded from a synthetic thermoplastic or thermosetting material and having a neck portion defining an opening for introducing a combustible liquid into the canister and a metal cap member for covering the canister opening and holding a wick. The cap member has an annular, inner flange which extends downwardly through the canister opening and fits in sealing engagement with the inner wall of the canister neck portion and an annular, peripheral outer collar which fits over and is crimped onto a laterally outward extending annular lip on the upper rim of the canister neck portion to sandwich or capture the upper rim between the inner flange and the outer collar.

Abstract: A fragrance dispensing device includes an annular element made from a solid, synthetic, polymeric, plastic material, such as a low density polyethylene, containing about 5 to about 20 weight % of a vaporizable fragrance material uniformly dispersed throughout. In one embodiment, the element is mounted on an oil lamp and closely surrounds, but is maintained out of contact with, the burner assembly. When the wick is lit, heat from the burner vaporizes and drives the fragrance material from the plastic material.
