  • Patent number: 6491517
    Abstract: A decorative candle display including a transparent container with an interior wall surface having flat interior side wall surfaces. There is at least one shaped generally opaque structure fabricated of an opaque combustible wax material and a transparent combustible gelatinous material which is pressed against the interior wall. The generally opaque structure has a tacky surface that self adheres to the interior wall surface. An opaque combustible filler material is disposed within the container and visible therethrough, and a wick extends exteriorly from the filler material. Pigment and/or fragrance can be incorporated within the gelatinous and/or filler materials. The candle display is formed by positioning the at least one opaque structure onto the interior wall, pouring a heat-melted opaque combustible filler material into the container and surrounding a previously placed wick, and finally cooling and solidifying the filler material to thereby complete the candle display.

  • Publication number: 20020002792
    Abstract: A composition for forming a candle, a candle product fabricated of the composition, and a method for making the candle product. The composition includes a mixture of a lesser amount of combustible wax material and a greater amount of combustible gelatinous material as exemplified by a ratio by weight of paraffin wax to gel from about 5-15 percent paraffin wax to about 95-75 percent mineral oil gel. Optionally, a pigment and/or fragrance can be included. The method of making a candle product incorporating the composition first includes forming the combustible composition by the steps of (a) heat-melting a combustible wax material; (b) heat-melting a combustible gelatinous material; and (c) mixing a lesser amount of the melted wax material with a greater amount of the melted gelatinous material for producing a flowable composition. The composition then is poured into a mold shaped as the candle product to be formed while a wick is provided within, and extending outwardly from, the mold.

  • Patent number: 6241512
    Abstract: A decorative candle display. The display includes a non-opaque container with an interior wall surface and a core candle having a first melting point and situated within the container such that a chamber is formed between the core candle and the wall surface. A plurality of colored gelatinous structures are adhered against the interior wall surface such that the structures are visible exteriorly, and a meltable solid mixture having a second melting point lower than the first melting point is disposed within the chamber. The chamber is of a cross sectional size adequate to dissipate heat through the solid mixture from the core candle when lighted such that the gelatinous structures do not melt from that heat. Concurrently, a cavern is formed within the solid mixture where the core candle is situated and when the core candle is burned.

  • Patent number: 6171102
    Abstract: A decorative candle display and a method for its manufacture. The display includes a container with an open top and an interior wall surface and a core candle with an exposed wick situated within the container. Core candle size and placement is such that a chamber is formed between the candle and the wall surface, and a candle wax material filler is disposed within the chamber. A colored gelatinous structure is disposed on top of the core candle and has a substantially vertical aperture through which the wick, extending from the core candle, resides for ignitable exposure above the gel structure. Fabrication methodology includes application of heat to the gelatinous structure to round any pointed border portions thereof and to imbue a sheen to the structure as an inherent heat-induced reaction occurs in the gelatinous material for such sheen production.

  • Patent number: 6171101
    Abstract: A decorative candle display including a non-opaque container of a defined geometrical shape and volume, and a heat-meltable, non-opaque candle placeable within this container. The candle has a defined geometrical shape which can be substantially complimentary to the shape of the container. Within the non-opaque gel of the candle are a plurality of image-producing gaseous cells and a conventional ignitable wick extending substantially there through with an exposed end for lighting. The density of the gel and the volume of the container are cooperatively correlated such that the volume of the container accommodates a sufficient quantity of water in which the candle will float upon introduction of this sufficient water quantity into the container.

  • Patent number: 6068472
    Abstract: A decorative candle. The candle comprises a container that defines an interior chamber. Disposed within the interior chamber is a candle core having a top surface, a bottom surface, an outer surface, and a bore. The candle core is disposed within the interior chamber such that the bottom surface of the candle core is in abutting contact with the container and a cavity is formed between the outer surface and the container. The candle further comprises a wick disposed within the bore of the candle core. Disposed within the cavity and bore is an outer layer of a wax mixture. The outer layer has a melting point less than the melting point of the candle core such that the outer layer can be poured over the candle core without melting the same. The candle further includes at least one component placed upon a top surface of the top layer. Additionally, a top layer of the wax mixture is disposed on the top surface of the outer layer. The top layer partially encapsulates the component and the wick.
