The fuel bottle is positioned at least partially within a hollow interior of the mid-frame of the candle fixture and accommodated by the base. The fuel bottle further comprises a wick that extends through an opening of the outer shell, and the candle fixture includes an ignitor configured to ignite the fuel material via the wick to produce a living flame. The candle fixture further includes an inner cover having one or more reinforcement ribs configured to provide structural support for the one or more ignitors.
Claims17
A candle platform, comprising:
- a refillable fuel bottle comprising a wick that is in touch with a fuel material held in the refillable fuel bottle;
- and
- a candle fixture that comprises:
- an outer shell having a first opening:
- a top cover coupled to an interior of the outer shell,
- wherein the top cover comprises a second opening that is smaller than the first opening,
- wherein the refillable fuel bottle is removably positioned at least partially within the outer shell and under the top cover;
- one or more ignitors positioned in proximity to the second opening;
- an inner cover positioned below the one or more ignitors,
- wherein a wick of the refillable fuel bottle extends through the first opening and the second opening,
- wherein the one or more ignitors are configured to ignite the fuel material on the wick to produce a flame when the candle platform is in operation;
- a base adapted to accommodate the refillable fuel bottle to enable the refillable fuel bottle to be secured within the candle platform or to be released from the candle platform;
- a proximity sensor,
- wherein the proximity sensor is configured to sense an object in vicinity of the flame when the candle platform is in operation;
- a self-extinguisher;
- and
- a control system configured to receive a signal from the proximity sensor,
- wherein, upon determining that the signal from the proximity sensor corresponds to a particular proximity between the object and the flame, the control system is configured to control the self-extinguisher to extinguish the flame.
