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 outdoor torch has a housing including a receptacle for removably receiving a flaming illumination means, such as an oil burner assembly, a support connected to the lower end of the housing for support the housing in an upright position and a flameguard of a fire resistant material, preferably in the form of a generally cylindrical sleeve and having opposed open ends, surrounding the outer surface of the housing for preventing flame from the oil burner assembly from contacting the housing.

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: 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.
