A kit for assembling an eco-friendlier and more sustainable alternative to traditional candles, which is also versatile and user-friendly. The candle kit disclosed herein is comprised of entirely or mostly natural granulated candle wax and one or more compatible candle wicks supplied together as a set, in a readily biodegradable, and/or recyclable, sturdy packaging box. In one non-limiting embodiment granulated candle wax is poured into an existing container rather than being offered pre-molded and stuck to a candle container like traditional candles. One or more of the wicks included in the product can be inserted directly into the wax particles by the consumer to complete the candle.

An apparatus is provided for holding and centering a candle wick in a container. The apparatus according to the invention is characterized in that a fixing apparatus is provided for the candle wick, which can be connected to the container in a detachable in such a way that it can be pivoted relative to the container.

The invention relates to a boron-free impregnating solution for a wick, a boron-free wick, and a candle comprising a wick according to the invention. The invention further relates to a method for impregnating a wick with an impregnating solution according to the invention.

Wax-coated candle wick assemblies are provided within include a wax applicator sized and configured to receive therein a multiple candle wick construction having first and second spaced apart candle wicks and a ladder filament connected to and extending back and forth between the first and second candle wicks so as to establish respective crossing portions that are spaced apart from one another along a lengthwise direction of the wick construction. A forming device is positioned relative to the inlet of the wax applicator channel to assist in folding the candle wick construction about a longitudinal axis thereof and into a generally U-shaped configuration such that conveyance of the candle wick construction through the wax applicator will sequentially fold the candle wick construction into such U-shaped configuration and maintain such U-shaped configuration by the application of wax thereon.

A wooden wick comprising a strip of wood. Such wick further includes a wood booster member connected to the strip of wood. At least the strip of wood or the booster member comprises a grain, wherein the grain is figured.

A sampler is presented for a sample of a scented, waxy candle material. The scented, waxy material is melted and may be diluted with compatible additives and/or liquid (organic oil or hydrocarbon), before being layered to a face of a bottom layer. A top layer (3) is applied directly over the sample and can be adhered to the bottom layer to form a seal. In another embodiment a peripheral seal, is formed between the top and the bottom layers. The seal is separable by a user pulling on a tab a portion of the top layer to expose the face of the sample to the atmosphere allowing the volatile molecules present in the candle to be released. With a repositionable glue as a seal, the top layer can be replaced to prevent further release of volatile molecules. A method is also shown for making the sample.

A sage candle system suitable for use as a sage candle is provided. The system includes a longitudinal wick. The system also includes aggregate material configured for use as a candle arranged in a cylindrical fashion around the longitudinal wick. Additionally, the system includes an external covering material designed to cover an exterior surface of the aggregate material; and external strapping material positionable on an exterior surface of the covering material and structured to provide an opening on a top end of the sage candle system to allow igniting a top end of the longitudinal wick and wherein the external strapping material provides for structural support of the sage candle system during burning evolutions such that a functional integrity of the sage candle system is maintained during the burning evolutions and wherein the external strapping material provides for cinching a bottom end of the sage candle.

Multiple candle wicks are provided that may be placed into a candle wax (paraffin) body such that the wicks when lit curl in a direction opposite to the curl direction of an adjacent wick, e.g., adjacent ones of each wick curling in an opposite direction relative to a bisecting midplane of the candle. By such oppositely curling wicks when lit, therefore, the wax pool diameter may thereby be increased which in turn increases the amount of liberated scents from the candle body.
