Having Feeder Or Holder For Disparate Fluid Patents (Class 431/299)
  • Patent number: 10828385
    Abstract: An aerosol generator includes a composite conduit to transport multiple liquids to a heating element at flow rates such that the liquids arrive at the heating element in desirable concentrations. The heating element volatilizes the liquids to form volatilized fluid, which mixes with ambient air to form an aerosol with desirable concentrations of the multiple liquids.

  • Publication number: 20100062382
    Abstract: A fire box includes functionality to provide a safe source of heat contained in a designated area. A fragrance emitter is able to be included to emit a fragrance while a fire is burning. A magnetic snuffer is able to be used to extinguish the flame when a user chooses. A fire candle operates similar to the fire box but in a smaller embodiment. Many different types of fragrances/aromas are able to be used.

  • Patent number: 6896510
    Abstract: An apparatus for producing a sustained flame, comprising: a first reservoir for containing a first flame-fueling liquid; a second reservoir for containing a second flame-fueling liquid; a first wick having a first end disposed within the first reservoir and a second, flame-bearing end generally located above the first end; a second wick disposed substantially adjacent to the first wick, having a first end disposed within the second reservoir and a second, flame-bearing end above the first end; and at least one air channel disposed to supply oxygen to each wick, where a first end of the at least one air channel is generally located near the flame-bearing end of each wick; whereby, when the first and second flame-fueling liquids are supplied to the first and second reservoirs, the first and second flame-fueling liquids are communicated up the first and second wicks to fuel flames emanating from the flame-bearing ends of the first and second wicks.

  • Patent number: 4260366
    Abstract: There is disclosed a selectively actuated candle lighting or igniting apparatus particularly for use with candles whose wicks are within an enclosure. Such wicks are used to float on oil within glass bowls and the like. These candles may also be within hurricane-type enclosures or chimneys. Wicks, as a part of candles, are found in many table settings for both indoor and outdoor use. Many candle lighting devices have been proposed but generally wick lighters have been less than satisfactory since the wick members of these lighters generally accummulate wax and the wax softens and has a tendency to adhere to a tubular member within which it is drawn for extinguishing. The heat sink construction of the instant igniter prevents this problem.
