Abstract
A flame producing assembly comprising a sealed body comprising a proximal and a distal end aligned on a longitudinal axis, wherein the sealed body comprises a void, a fuel supply comprising liquid fuel accommodated in the void within the sealed body, a fuel release assembly enabling a controllable release of the fuel supply in gaseous form from the sealed body, a fuel indicator configured to indicate a remaining amount of liquid fuel contained in the sealed body to a user of the flame producing assembly, wherein at least a portion of the fuel indicator is capable of changing appearance when in proximity to a magnetic field, and a level tracking member comprising at least one magnet supported by a buoyant member.
Claims20
A flame producing assembly, comprising:
- a sealed body comprising a proximal end and a distal end aligned on a longitudinal axis, wherein the sealed body comprises a void and a visible portion;
- a fuel supply comprising liquid fuel accommodated in the void within the sealed body;
- a fuel release assembly enabling a controllable release of the fuel supply in gaseous form from the sealed body;
- a fuel indicator configured to indicate a remaining amount of fuel supply contained in the sealed body to a user of the flame producing assembly, wherein at least a portion of the fuel indicator is capable of changing appearance of the visible portion of the sealed body when in proximity to a magnetic field, and wherein the fuel indicator comprises a magneto chromatic material, magneto chromatic polymer microspheres, or a magnetically active coating comprising ferro-active particles;
- and
- a level tracking member comprising at least one magnet supported by a buoyant member;
- wherein the at least one magnet is configured to apply a magnetic field to the fuel indicator, thereby causing the fuel indicator to indicate the remaining amount of fuel supply in the sealed body to the user.
