20090092935 | Method for effective degassing of wicks - A process for degassing or presoaking wicks used in the manufacturing of candles. Spools of raw wick are placed in a wax bath. The door to the vacuum chamber is then closed and the pressure in the chamber is reduced. The reduction of the pressure forces wax into the wick fiber to ensure complete saturation of the wick. | 04-09-2009 |
20110300496 | Candle With Wax Beads And Solid Wax Topping - A candle includes a vessel of some volume containing some smaller volume of at least one variety of wax beads, having a diameter of less than or equal to 2.35 millimeters and in most embodiments also including a particular fragrance and color pigment. The was beads topped with a solid wax topping. The solid wax topping may cover the entire exposed surface of the candle, holding the wax beads in place during shipping and use and holding the wick in a centralized location. | 12-08-2011 |
20120077133 | CANDLE FOR PROVIDING RAPID FRAGRANCE DELIVERY - A scented candle is provided which includes a dual braided wick in a candle mass. The candle mass is positioned on an inwardly sloping platform and such platform is snugly fit into a noncombustible container. A wick clip with louvers that secures and centers the wick in the candle mass allows maximum fuel flow to the wick during use to ensure full consumption of the melted candle mass. | 03-29-2012 |
20120135359 | Candle With Non-Consuming / Reusable Wick - A non consuming/reusable candle includes a wick that is a made of a porous sintered metal or alloy or of ceramic. The wick is conducive to wicking, via capillary action, any candle fuel for the purpose of combustion. The wick shape may be of any multiple geometrical shapes, and may be straight or curved, and provide either a narrow or broad flame. A wick holder can also be employed to hold the non consuming wick in place as well as to help with heat transfer to the body of the wax | 05-31-2012 |
20120137634 | System And Method For Manufacturing A Candle With Wax Beads And Solid Wax Topping - The candle uses wax beads produced using existing equipment. The wax beads are transported to a bead hopper and the bead hopper deposits a volume of wax beads into jars prepared with a wick. Concurrently the jars are vibrated using a continuous vibratory motor to settle the wax beads for increased wax bead density. The filled jars are then transported to an in-container wax bead compression system where an automated plunging device compresses the wax beads. Jars are then transported by in-line conveyor to a wide conveyor. The jars are then filled at a liquid wax depositing station where the wax has been heated to its melting point and deposited into the jar to fill the void left by the in-container wax bead Compression system. The filled candle is then cooled to solidification. The finished candle is then ready for packing, distribution, sale, and use. | 06-07-2012 |
20120214110 | Container Candle with Enhanced Candle Performance and Candle Insert for Container Candle - The present invention relates to vessel design that enhances candle performance by separating the inlet air from the active scent while accelerating the active scent. The chimney-like assembly accelerates active scent flow, thus propelling active scent faster and further from the candle. The separation of inlet air from active scent produces an efficient laminar flame with minimal flame movement and flickering, thus reducing the soot potential. | 08-23-2012 |
20130095440 | Candle Wick - A rigid planar wick and one or more fabric wicks are adhered together for use in candles. The fabric wicks may be planar fabric wicks, traditional shaped string-shaped wicks or a fabric sheath. The rigid wick is of a predetermined width, length, and thickness and the planar fabric wick is of some dimension equal to, less than, or greater than the planar surface area of the rigid wick. By combining both a planar fabric wick and a rigid planar wick, consistency in flame heights can be achieved, providing an improved wick for candle use. | 04-18-2013 |
20130270474 | Wax Compositions Including A Slip Agent - A wax composition comprising various waxes and an organically modified polysiloxane (OMP). These materials are mixed and melted into a homogenous liquid state creating a molten blend. It is preferred that the slip agent be added to the blend at least 0.25 percent by weight, and more preferably at 0.50 percent by weight. By mixing OMG with known candle and wax potpourri waxes, the wax becomes much easier to remove from the wax container. | 10-17-2013 |
