A flame-resistant wick comprises a hollow chamber and at least one capillary structure surrounding the hollow chamber. The at least one capillary structure is interlaced by a plurality of wire strands into a tubular shape. Each of the plurality of wire strands consists of a plurality of core wires being made of a material having a melting point of not less than 800 C.

The present invention relates to materials and systems useful for increasing the safety profile of a candle. In particular, the present invention provides a thermally-protective material that is useful to prepare labels or wraps to encircle or surround a candle. The present invention further provides a cool-touch thermally-protected candle assembly.

The present disclosure relates to a new way to manufacture and incorporate decorative features within a candle using a floating candle and a suspension base. The present disclosure describes a floating candle that may be located over a base with suspended decoration. In some aspects, the floating candle may comprise an ignitable wick that may extinguish prior to reaching the base. In some implementations, the base may comprise a liquid that may allow for movement of the decorations within the base. In some aspects, the base may comprise a rigid material, such as a hardened epoxy or polymerized monomer, wherein the curing of the material may occur after the decorations may be placed in the base.

Apparatuses and methods are provided for rapid and user-friendly manual setting of wicks into container candles. The apparatuses of embodiments include a wick setter that includes a proximal portion configured to receive a downward force. The wick setter also includes an elongated shaft coupled to the proximal portion and defining a longitudinal axis. The elongated shaft is configured to translate the downward force from the proximal portion onto a distal portion of the wick setter. The distal portion includes at least one wick tab holder disposed perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis. The wick tab holder includes a loop configured to engage a corresponding wick tab laterally with respect to the corresponding wick tab. The wick tab holder is also configured to apply a holding force onto the corresponding wick tab for holding the corresponding wick tab attached to the wick tab holder.

An electronically controlled igniter device for a wick-containing item, and methods of use thereof, is described. The device is particularly advantageous in that it provides a convenient and safe device for igniting and optionally extinguishing the flame of a wick-containing item. The wick-containing item may be a standalone object, or a set of multiple electrically interconnected objects that can be individually controlled, or several groups of such objects may be remotely or locally controlled.

A kit enabling creation of a personal keepsake by at least one user and methods of using same. A first container is openable by a user, and a plurality of candles are enclosed in the first container. Each candle has a wick at one end and an opposite end having a base width. The kit further includes a second container which is openable by the user, and a plurality of tubes enclosed in the second container. Each tube has at least one end which is initially open and defines a chamber having a chamber width and a chamber length to receive a storage medium, the initially open end adapted to receive the base width of one of the candles.

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 wood booster member having each of a second predetermined length, a second predetermined width and a second predetermined thickness adhered to the strip of wood.

A metallic wick includes at least one mesh member having first and second ends disposed opposite to each other, first and second surfaces respectively extended from the first end to the second end thereof and arranged opposite to each other, a plurality of meshes penetrating the first and second surfaces between the first and second ends thereof; and a transport channel extending from the first end to the second end thereof and drawing fuel by capillary action.

A tealight cup for holding a combustible candle has a a side wall, a base with a flat central area, at least two bulges positioned around the flat central area, wherein the bulges have a height (h) of at least 10% of the height (H) of the side wall and are positioned around the flat central area circumferentially along a common circumference and have a total volume equal to at least 10% of the volume of the part of the cup from the base to the height (h) of the bulges.

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.
