  • Patent number: 7318724
    Abstract: A candle assembly includes a support base, a melting plate having a capillary pedestal, a wick holder that fits onto the capillary pedestal, and a fuel element that fits over the wick holder. The wick holder includes a sleeve having first and second open ends. A wick fits into the sleeve and extends between the open ends. The sleeve has a constricted portion, which is disposed between the open ends and has a cross-sectional area less than any other cross-sectional area between the open ends. The constricted portion reduces an effective capillary fluid flow capacity of the wick between the open ends, which may thereby regulate how quickly fuel is consumed when the candle assembly is burning. A capillary well disposed between the wick holder and the capillary pedestal may be adapted to promote a successful relight after an initial burn of the candle assembly.

  • Patent number: 5078945
    Abstract: Combined candle holder and mold apparatus includes a free-standing container having an open upper end and within which candle supporting structure is provided on which a burning candle is adapted to be supported so as to extend upwardly through and beyond the open container end. A wick has one of its ends connected to the candle supporting structure and its other end connected to a removable bottom closure member of the container so that the wick extends in the direction of the axis of the container through the substantial height thereof. In use, a burning candle is mounted on the supporting structure so that the apparatus functions as a candle holder. As the candle continues to burn the molten wax dripping therefrom falls into the container where it accumulates and solidifies around the wick so that the container thereby acts as a mold for the newly-forming candle.
