Abstract: The invention relates to an indefinitely reusable composite construction candle having a substantially permanent cylindrical outer shell which is preferably made of wax within which is positioned a cylindrical insulating sleeve which is attached to the outer shell and which preferably provides thermal insulation between the outer shell and heat from the candle flame. A removable insert is placed within both the sleeve and outer shell which contains a wick and wax, or other combustible material, which is consumed during the candle burning operation. When the combustible material in the insert is depleted, the insert is replaced with another similar insert enabling the rest of the composite construction candle to remain unaltered. The invention provides for the ability to adjust both the height of the removable insert and the relative position of the insert with respect to the outer shell. The candle presents to the casual viewer the impression of a traditional candle of monolithic construction.

Abstract: A wax candle (10) positioned below a wax reservoir (30), which is held in position above candle (10) by a wax reservoir support (20). While burning, the heat emitted from the flame of candle (10) causes the wax contained in reservoir (30) to slowly and continuous melt. This melted wax drips down from reservoir (30) into candle (10) and replenishes the wax used for combustion on the wick of candle (10). The rate of this replenishment and the flame size of candle (10) are self regulating, and in direct relationship with each other during cycle outlined below: An increase in flame size causes a subsequent increase in replenishment. An increase in replenishment causes a subsequent decrease in flame size. A decrease in flame size causes a subsequent decrease in replenishment. A decrease in replenishment causes a subsequent increase in flame size. And the cycle begins again.
