| 20090291400 | Liquid fuel lamp and fragrance diffuser apparatus - A liquid fuel lamp design is disclosed, consisting of a length of wick housed within a vertical wick tube equipped with an upwardly-extending handle, which wick tube assembly is seated resealably within a funnel-shaped fuel aperture extending upward from a low wide fuel reservoir, atop which is securely affixed a lamp chimney of such dimension as to assure a high degree of isolation of the lamp flame and exhaust vapors above 451 F degrees from non-vapor combustibles in the lamp environment. The invention relies on a novel liquid fuel lamp filling system, whereby the wick tube may be equipped with a bushing and cap to resealably close the fuel aperture, and is removed and replaced by its upwardly extended handle via the chimney's upper opening to allow refilling and maintenance. The wick tube and fuel reservoir are configured so as to efficiently burn liquid fuels, especially viscous fuels, and in particular vegetable oils as fuel. The inner base of the lamp chimney accommodates non-flammable liquid fragrances such that while the lamp is burning, heat from the flame volatizes the fragrance and disperses it upon the column of hot vapor rising from the lamp chimney. The entire device is highly spill-resistant, constructed durably, and equipped with articulations to accommodate lamp accessories. A device for conveniently attaching and removing such accessories is also disclosed. | 11-26-2009 |
