Abstract: Candles are provided for dispensing air treatment chemicals in response to heat. There is a lid bearing the air treatment chemical. The candle includes a housing with a combustible fuel. An upper lid includes a cover plate bearing the air treatment chemical and an opening centrally disposed in the plate to allow heated air to pass through when the fuel is being combusted. The plate is suspended across an upper end of a side wall of the housing creating an air gap adjacent the radial periphery of the lid. When the fuel is combusted the air treatment chemical can be heated thereby and carried away by heated air that has passed through the central opening, and the air gap can permit cooler air to enter the cavity while the fuel is being combusted.

Abstract: Candles without conventional wicks have a long-life wick assembly mounted upon them, consisting of a supporting metallic dish that carries a permanent short wick. The wick includes heat conducting elements, which convey heat downwardly from the candle flame to form a pool of molten wax below the dish, into which pool the wick extends. Wick extensions may be used, when a permanent container supports the wick assembly. In the case of free-standing wax candles the shape and construction of the wick-support dish limits the extent of the pool, to maintain the surrounding candle wall intact. The candles are long-burning, and the wick assembly follows down the length of the candle, as the candle is consumed. The metallic dish acts as a heat and safety barrier, to contain the candle flame. An intermediate yoke supports the wick and connects the wick to the dish and limits the rate of heat transfer to the underlying candle.

Abstract: The apparatus includes a flame extinguishing member having an opening extending therethrough for freely receiving the wick of a candle and a stop for stopping downward movement of the member at a selected level for extinguishing the flame as it burns below the top of the member. In one embodiment, the stop is inserted into the candle from its side to a position next to the wick to stop downward movement of the flame extinguishing member as the member engages the stop. In another embodiment, an elongated guide is supported near the candle along its length and a sliding member is provided to slide along the length of the guide until it engages a stop coupled to the elongated guide. The fire extinguishing member and the sliding member are coupled together such that the sliding member moves downward with the fire extinguishing member until it engages the stop located at a selected level which stops downward movement of the fire extinguishing member.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a candle device for burning a candle without a cotton wick. The candle device is directly placed on a candle without a cotton wick so that the candle can be lighted and burned successfully. The candle device comprises a heater, a lighting wick, and a float bowl. The heater is a hollow tube with a small tube of a smaller diameter shrinking from the lower section thereof. A fixing structure is formed near the bottom end of the small tube. The lighting wick is arranged in the small tube of the heater and extends to the upper opening of the tube. The float bowl is fixedly installed on the periphery of the bottom end of the small tube of the heater via the fixing structure. The present invention has the advantages of no candle drops, wax saving, complete burning, and no black smoke. Moreover, the candle device of the present invention can be used repeatedly.

Abstract: A fragrance dispensing device has a candle follower with an annular shoulder portion for sitting on a shoulder of the candle to descend under gravity during consumption thereof maintaining the reservoir at a constant distance from the candle flame throughout burning. The candle follower can be formed at an upper end with a bowl having inner and outer walls forming inner and outer compartments receiving melted wax and volatile fragrance, respectively. The inner wall portion can be annular, extending substantially concentrically within the outer wall or, in another embodiment, there are two, semicircular, inner wall portions formed on diametrically opposite sides of the outer wall portion defining therewith respective fragrance oil containing compartments. In other examples, the reservoir is supported above the candle flame by vertically sliding rods or sleeves carried by the candle follower or is an annular dish seated on the upper edge of the bowl.

Abstract: A candle embedded with metal particulates is provided that includes a candle body, one or more wick wells, and one or more wicks. The candle body is formed of a moldable and combustible material, such as paraffin or wax. Additionally, the candle body includes a plurality of metal particulates disposed within the moldable and combustible material. Each wick is disposed within a wick well which is essentially a region of moldable and combustible material that is devoid of metal particulates so as to promote more uniform burning of the candle. Preferably, the metal particulates are aluminum wedge shaped flakes. The function of the metal particulates is threefold: 1) they maintain the shape and size of the candle throughout its burn life; 2) they conduct heat from the flame throughout the candle body to permit melting and flowing of liquid wax throughout the candle body to the wicks; and 3) they reflect the candle flame light from the top surface of the candle.

Abstract: A candle holder includes a drip preventing and stabilizing cap member of transparent glass descending on the candle throughout consumption with an annular shoulder portion, a central, wick receiving aperture with a lip for melted wax and a depending skirt; a stand with a socket-less candlestick having a shallow, concave candle supporting surface receiving melted wax and receivable in the skirt to provide a wax seal; and vertical metal guide rods. In one example, the guide rods depend from a metal annulus sitting on a outwardly flared lower portion of the skirt and slide in sockets on the stand ensuring vertical descent of the cap. Alternatively, the guide rods are anchored in the foot of the stand and the sockets are in the metal annulus. In a different version, pairs of metal guide rods are anchored in opposite sides of the foot of the stand defining vertical sockets slidingly receiving rods which extend outwardly from the annulus and carry weighty knobs at free ends.

Abstract: A candle is disclosed which comprises at least one body, which is composed of a material which is solid at room temperature such as wax or paraffin, and a wick. The body which is composed of a combustible material which is solid at room temperature, has, at least at the bottom end, a part which can be plugged together or connected with a mating part of an identical body. At the top end of the uppermost body, a tubular headpiece which surrounds said body is provided and is guided, at least at its bottom end, and moves downwards with the burning-down candle.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an improved combustion apparatus particularly adapted for use with fuels which are solid at ambient temperatures and readily meltable at temperatures exceeding ambient, an example of such fuel being paraffin. The apparatus includes a two-part float assembly adapted to float upon the molten surface of the fuel and includes a heat conductive bottom plate, the device being characterized by efficient heat transfer from the flame to the bottom plate, whereby it is assured that the fuel beneath the plate will be in a molten condition.
