  • Patent number: 11655975
    Abstract: The present invention is a lamp apparatus that includes a reservoir for flammable liquids and a wick that can be incorporated with a post and within the cap of a post, such as a deck or fence post. The apparatus can include an external housing that attaches to a post and contains and conceals the internal components of the lamp apparatus within the external housing. This external housing can resemble and function as the cap of a post. The apparatus may allow for a user to remove a snuffing cap from the top of the external housing and ignite the lamp's wick, which then allows the post to function as a torch. The apparatus may also allow for a user to place the snuffing cap back on the top of the external housing to extinguish the flame and discreetly conceal that a lamp is contained within the cap of the post.
