Abstract: A method for making a spiral fuel body for a layered candle is disclosed. Layers of a non-liquid candle fuel are successively poured into a mold and cooled to a non-liquid state. The layers bond together in the mold, and are removed as a sheet of candle fuel, which is rolled into the spiral fuel body. Each layer is distinguishable from the other layer for the life of the candle by color, aroma, and thickness. A mold that can be used for making a rolled candle has obtuse sides for producing a tapered form to the candle.

Abstract: A method for mounting a wick within a wick sustainer is disclosed. The sustainer has a base, a barrel and a passage that extends through the sustainer. The passage has an upper region occupied by the wick and a lower region occupied, at least partially, by the sealant. Sealing the lower region of the passage is accomplished by injecting the sealant into the passage, thereby preventing the fuel from contacting the portion of the wick that is retained in the upper region of the passage. Fuel reaches the flame of the burning wick only through the portion of wick not held in the sustainer, so the flame is extinguished once the fuel descends below the top of the sustainer.

Abstract: A candle and method of making the candle. The candle includes a core surrounded by a combustible material and a fill composition. The combustible material surrounds the core. A wick extends downwardly a selected distance from the top of the core. The core is partly surrounded by a translucent sleeve which may include holes. In this way, the risk of the combustible material catching fire is reduced.

Abstract: A wick trimmer includes a gauge for assisting a user in trimming a candle wick to an appropriate length. The wick trimmer is adapted to be of a shape and size to allow a user to trim the wick within a votive holder, hurricane lamp, or the like without removing the candle. The gauge may be fixedly, rotatably, or slidably attached to the cutter and extends transversely of the blade of the cutter.

Abstract: An anti-flash wick support for a candlewick in a candle is disclosed. The support includes a body and a wick holder. The body has a height and thermal resistance which is selected in order to minimize the risk of flashover.

Abstract: A candle and method of making the candle. The candle includes a core surrounded by a combustible material and a fill composition. The combustible material surrounds the lower part of the core up to a selected level. A wick extends downwardly from the top of the core. The lower end of the wick extends no further than substantially the selected level. In this way, the risk of the combustible material catching fire is reduced.

Abstract: An anti-flash wick support for candles having a candle floor. A candle floor includes the bottom surface of a container and the lowest extremity of a freestanding candle. A wick sustainer having a central bore is adhered to the candle floor by an adhesive plug which plugs the bore near the base of the upright column of the wick sustainer. The wick extends downwardly into the bore and the adhesive plug prevents fuel from being drawn upwardly by the wick through the bore to a flame. The flame goes out once the fuel, such as molten wax descends below the top end of the wick sustainer. In an alternative embodiment, a pedestal extends upwardly from, and attaches to, the container floor. A wick sustainer rests upon the fuel impervious top surface of the pedestal.

Abstract: Prilled wax particles are coated by tumbling and rubbing the particles and a scenting and/or a coloring agent together in a flexible container, either by hand kneading or with a mechanical agitator. Liquid carriers compatible with the wax particles are included in the coloring and scenting agents to facilitate absorption of the agents into the particles. A candle is subsequently formed by molding the coated particles under pressure with a central wick into either a free standing form or pressed into a surrounding container.
