  • Patent number: 6375455
    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.
