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 gel-type scented candle includes a container, a wick attached to and erected at the center of the inner bottom of the container, and a candle oil accommodated in the container, in which the candle oil is of a gel type made by adding a natural vegetable oil with a natural perfume and a natural pigment, and the container can be reused by being refilled with the candle oil by a user before or after use of the candle oil.

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.

A scented candle is provided. The candle has a body made of a flammable material and a wick. The body of the candle is provided with one or more bores adapted for receiving a respective scent element therein as selected by a user.

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.

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.

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.
