Layered candle

a candle and layer technology, applied in the field of wax candles, can solve the problems of difficult to reconfigure an already determined sequence of stacks of wax members, candle will not work properly, and the candle of '313 patent suffers from its limitation in reconfiguration, so as to facilitate the removal and replacement of fuel sections

Benefits of technology

[0012]Each layer of the wax discs is distinguished by its color and scent before and after combustion of the candle and further by an inscribed pattern of word or message for an illuminated spectator to read and get inspired. The inscribed pattern is provided with colored ink. The fuel sections are formed of the same materials used to make the hollow discs so that the fuel sections correspond to the layers of the wax discs in number as well as composition. The fuel section positioned in the top recess of the wax base protrudes above the flat top surface of the wax base to facilitate removal and replacement of the fuel sections.
[0014]The laminated candle pillar provides a permanent base with mixed aroma for supporting a collection of the tea-light candles in matching colors and scents. Each layer of the wax discs may be distinguished by its color and scent and further by an inscribed pattern of words or messages for an illuminated spectator to read and get inspired. Also, a user can make swift changes among various illuminative as well as aromatic effects due to the interchangeable tea-light sections in differentiated colors.

Problems solved by technology

However, the candle of '313 patent suffers from its limitation in reconfigurations.
Its rigid structure makes it difficult to reconfigure an already determined sequence of stack of the wax member.
Without sophisticated positioning of the knots the candle will not work properly.
Overall, it calls for an overly complex manipulation of a supposedly simple piece of candle.

Embodiment Construction

[0023]A variable candle 10 according to the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a composite structure comprising generally of a main pillar portion 11 and a removable tea-light section 12 in a pot 13 to be seated in a top recess 14 formed in the main portion 11. There are a variety of tea-light sections 12a-12c from which a user may select to burn to illuminate a space with extra enhancements unique to the present invention. The recess 14 has such a depth to protrude the pot 13 above the top of the main pillar 11 so that a user may easily grasp it for removal or replacement.

[0024]The main portion 11 of the candle 10 has a multitude of wax layers 15 having different combinations of color and scent. In the embodiment illustrated, ten layers 15 are integrally formed in a cylindrical form although other regular or irregular polygonal shapes are contemplated by the present invention.

[0025]Adjacent wax layers 15 of such as every three in the main portion 11 may have a gradation o...

Abstract

A composite candle structure is provided. A variety of color-scented hollow wax discs and a center filler wax form a laminated candle body providing a permanent base with mixed aroma for supporting a collection of removable tea-light candles in matching colors and scents. Each layer of wax disc may be distinguished by its color and scent and further by an inscribed pattern of words or messages for a spectator to read and get inspired. Also, a user can make swift changes among various illuminative as well as aromatic effects due to the simple fitting of interchangeable tea-light sections.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]A. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to wax candles. More particularly, the present invention relates to a laminated candle that holds a selection of interchangeable aromatic candle sections so as to provide variable illumination combined with inspirational messages and colors.[0003]B. Description of the Prior Art[0004]Candles provide warm ambient lights as they are combusted and can quickly fill a large space with a beneficial aroma infused at manufacture. They are relatively simple to manufacture using petroleum material like paraffin, natural products of stearin, beeswax, gel of resin and mineral oil, or some plant waxes. Candles are produced in various colors, shapes, sizes and scents. Most candle productions generally start with the liquification of the solid fuel by the controlled application of heat and ends with the insertion of a wick. The liquid fuel is poured into a mold to produce pillar candles, a fireproof jar to...
