A wooden wick for use in a wax candle comprising a strip of a predetermined wood having each of a first predetermined length, a first predetermined width and a first predetermined thickness. Such wick further includes a booster member having each of a second predetermined length, a second predetermined width and a second predetermined thickness adhered to the strip of wood.

Wicks include a sheet, including wood, a wood-like substance, and/or a cellulose fiber, and an engraved booster region that is a region at a surface of the sheet where material of the sheet has been removed. Material may be removed by laser engraving. A ratio of the width of the engraved booster region to the width of the sheet may be 1:3 to 1:8. A width of the engraved booster region may be 0.075 to 0.175 inches. Methods for manufacturing wicks include laser engraving a planar workpiece to remove material from a surface of the workpiece forming engraved booster regions, and laser cutting the workpiece to form sheets including an engraved booster region.

A novelty candle includes an elongated cylindrical durable glass body having a first height and a first diameter, the body having a first end and a second end and defining a concave well adjacent the first end, and a solid portion extending along at least half of the first height, a fuel source disposed within the well, the fuel source including a paraffin wax, a wick at least partially disposed within the fuel source, a murrini coupled to a bottom of the glass body adjacent the second end, and a glass base at least partially covering the murrini and forming a plurality of smooth curvatures with sides of the body.

A candle creating kit includes a vase, a first container containing a liquid resin, a second container containing a gel wax, a third container containing a powder is comprised of a light reflecting material and a fourth container containing a liquid pigment. The liquid resin and the gel wax are poured into the vase in alternating layers and a desired amount of the power and pigment are mixable into the resin. A block of candle wax is heatable into a fluid wax which can be poured into the vase. A wick is insertable into the fluid wax before the fluid wax hardens thereby facilitating the fluid wax to be burned in the wick when the wick is ignited to illuminate the immediate area around the vase.

A lid for a candle is provided. The lid comprises an inner housing which includes an inner housing aperture, as well as an iris including an iris guide section and at least two blades. The iris guide section has a respective blade guide slot for each of the at least two blades. Each of the at least two blades has opposing ends, and at least one bolt aperture at each of the opposing ends. A respective bolt extends through each at least one blade guide slot and each bolt aperture thereby engaging the at least two blades with the iris guide section. The iris has an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the inner housing aperture of the lid is open, and in the closed position, the blades of the iris extend over the inner housing aperture, thereby closing the inner housing aperture.

This invention relates to a wax composition comprising one or more fatty acid diester compounds having the formula of ##STR00001##
R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each independently a substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.4 to C.sub.50 alkyl or aryl; and n.sub.1 is an integer from 2 to 10. This invention also relates to a wax composition comprising: a) one or more fatty acid monoester or diester compounds having the formula of: ##STR00002##
and b) one or more hydroxylated fatty acid diester compounds having the formula of ##STR00003##
In these formulae, R is H or COR.sub.1; R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each independently a substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.4 to C.sub.50 alkyl or aryl; n.sub.2 is an integer from 2 to 24; m is an integer from 2 to 12; and .(OH).sub.m represents 2 to 12 hydroxyl groups substituting for 2 to 12 hydrogen atoms in the alkyl groups R.sub.1 and/or R.sub.2. Uses of the compositions are also disclosed.

A multiple fragrance candle, which includes a body having at least two cavities on different sides of the body, the body being displaceable between different positions in which at least one of the at least two cavities face upwards and a core housed within each of the at least two cavities, each of the cores having a fragrance producing substance.

A multiple fragrance candle, which includes a body having at least two cavities on different sides of the body, the body being displaceable between different positions in which at least one of the at least two cavities face upwards and a core housed within each of the at least two cavities, each of the cores having a fragrance producing substance.

The present disclosure provides ketone waxes, methods of forming ketone waxes, and compositions comprising ketone waxes. In at least one embodiment, a ketone wax is provided. The ketone wax includes about 50 wt % or greater C.sub.40-C.sub.90 ketone content; about 50 wt % or greater of the ketone wax has a boiling point of 961 F. or greater; and a paraffins content of less than about 10 wt %, as determined by 2-dimensional gas chromatography. In at least one embodiment, a method for forming a C.sub.40-C.sub.90 ketone wax includes exposing a feed stock to a basic catalyst under conditions suitable for coupling unsaturated carbon chains from the feed to form a composition including a ketone wax, oligomerizing the ketone wax to form a ketone wax having C.sub.40-C.sub.90 ketone wax, and distilling and/or extracting the oligomerized ketone wax to provide a C.sub.40-C.sub.90 ketone wax of the present disclosure.

The present invention relates to a floating candle. A floating candle according to a first embodiment of the present invention includes: a floating part (100) configured to float on combustible material (W); a wick reception part (200) configured such that one side thereof passes through the floating part (100) and comes into contact with the combustible material (W) and the other side thereof comes into contact with the top surface of the floating part (100); and a wick support part (300) configured to be mounted at the bottom end of a wick (S), to be inserted into the wick reception part (200), and to support the wick (S). According to the present invention, the heat of flames can be transferred to the combustion material (W) and rapidly melts the combustion material (W), thereby enabling the perfume of perfumed oil contained in the combustion material to be rapidly emitted.
