HANDHELD WICK HOLDER AND ADVANCER
A wick management apparatus includes a base and a housing. The base defines a receptacle to hold wicking media. The housing engages at a first end with the base. The housing includes a tube extending away from the first end. The tube defines a first interior channel between the first end and an exit hole on a sidewall of the tube. The tube also defines a second interior channel between an entry hole on the sidewall of the tube and a hole at a second end of the housing. A length of the sidewall between the exit hole and the entry hole is configured to support pressure of a user's thumb against the wicking media and translational movement of the wicking media between the exit hole to the entry hole.
TORCH SYSTEM WITH PREDICTIVE CONTROL OF AUTOMATIC FUEL REPLENISHMENT
Torches are automatically refilled with a liquid fuel from a central reservoir pumped via a plumbing system, without directly monitoring local torch fuel levels. Instead, each torch includes a passive fuel overfill prevention valve. When refueling, the pump operates until all torches are filled. Refueling can cease after a set time, or when sensors report a backpressure and/or cessation of fuel flow. Pre-calibration establishes torch burning rates and/or maximum refill time. Time between refueling is predicted, based upon total burning time, which can be measured by torch heat sensors or determined according to a usage schedule or direct control of torch ignition and extinguishing by the controller. Reverse pumping can extinguish the torches, and wick ignitors can relight them sequentially. A service provider can monitor fuel consumption, establish a pattern of usage, and supply fuel in time to replenish the central reservoir, and/or other provide maintenance as needed.

Gas-only cartridge for a premix fuel nozzle
A gas-only cartridge for a fuel nozzle includes a flange that defines a plurality of apertures for receiving a gaseous fuel, an outer tube that is coupled to the flange and an inner tube that extends axially within the outer tube. The inner tube and the outer tube define a fuel passage therebetween and the fuel passage is in fluid communication with the plurality of apertures of the flange. A fuel distribution tip is disposed at a downstream end of the gas-only cartridge and defines a plurality of fuel ports circumferentially spaced along and annularly arranged about an outer surface of the fuel distribution tip. The fuel ports are in fluid communication with the fuel passage.
Floating wick
A candlewick includes a flotation device, a wick, and a bracket configured to position a first portion of the wick above a waterline of the flotation device and to position a second portion of the wick below a waterline of the flotation device.

FLAME PRODUCING ASSEMBLY REDUCING FUEL EVAPORATION
The present disclosure relates to a flame producing assembly. The flame producing assembly may comprise a fuel reservoir, a flame wick and a fuel wick in fluid communication with the fuel reservoir. The flame producing assembly may further comprise a translation mechanism, wherein the translation mechanism may be configured to switch the fuel wick between a first position and a second position. Further, the flame wick may be in fluid communication with the fuel wick when the fuel wick is in the first position and not in fluid communication with the fuel wick when the fuel wick is in the second position.
