US Patent:

58631968, Jan 26, 1999

Filed:

Aug 30, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/708043

Inventors:

Charles Rockwell - Boonsboro MD
Amir Yaraghi - Hagerstown MD

Assignee:

FIL-TEC - Hagerstown MD

International Classification:

F23D 318

US Classification:

431325

Abstract:

The invention comprises a fray-resistant wick made up of an elongated fiber core with a web surrounding the core, and a jacket surrounding the web. The web has a lower melting point than both the core and the jacket, with the web and jacket fusibly or adhesively bonded to the core to form an integral structure. The core or jacket may comprise a fiber glass yarn, and the web a thermoplastic resin such as polypropylene. The method of making the fray-resistant wick comprises forming an enlongated core of the fiber material and surrounding the core with the web, and then surrounding the web with the jacket. Heating the core, web and jacket to a sufficiently high temperature fuses the core and jacket to the web, thereby forming an integral wick structure. In an alternative embodiment, the method comprises surrounding the core with a web of adhesive material for the purpose of bonding the core and jacket.

International Classification:

C11C 5/00

Abstract:

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.

International Classification:

C11C 5/00
F23D 3/16

Abstract:

Multiple candle wicks include a wick construction having at least one pair of substantially parallel elongate candle wicks which are laterally separated from one another, and a ladder filament connecting the pair of candle wicks. The ladder filament extends back and forth between the candle wicks (e.g., at substantially 90 relative to the elongate axes of the wicks) and is of sufficient flexural stiffness so as to resiliently bias the pair of candle wicks from a compacted position and into a spread position following release of an applied bending force. A multiple candle wick assembly includes such a wick construction whereby the crossing portions of the ladder filament are bent around an exterior circumferential portion of an elongate core element so as to assume a general U-shape around the exterior circumferential portion thereof and to place the candle wicks into the compacted position thereof. An applied wax coating will retain the wicks in such compacted position until lit whereby the coating melts and the wicks are resiliently biased into the spread position thereof.
