Abstract
Candles are disclosed that include a wick, a first phase and a second phase. In one embodiment, the first phase is substantially clear and has a first melting point, the second phase is visually distinct from the first phase and has a second melting point, and the second melting point is greater than or about equal to the first melting point. In another embodiment, the first phase contains a first concentration of gellant in first solvent, the second phase contains a second concentration of gellant in second solvent, and the first and second concentrations are non-identical. In another embodiment, the first and second phases each contain gellant, however the second phase contains components not present in the first phase.
Claims68
A candle comprising a wick, a first phase and a second phase, wherein the first phase comprises a first gelled fuel, the first gelled fuel comprising a first gellant at a first concentration in a first solvent, the first gelled fuel having a first melting point;
- the second phase comprises a second gelled fuel, the second gelled fuel comprising a second gellant at a second concentration in a second solvent, the second gelled fuel having a second melting point;
- and
- the first and second phases are non-identical.
A candle comprising a wick, a first phase and a second phase, wherein
- the first phase comprises a first gelled fuel, the first gelled fuel comprising a first gellant at a first concentration in a first solvent, the first phase having a first melting point;
- and
- the second phase comprises a) decorative items positioned on the surface of the first phase;
- and/or b) one or more non-flammable items positioned within the first phase.
A candle comprising a wick, a first phase and a second phase, the first and second phases each comprising gellant, the second phase containing components not present in the first phase.
A solid candle comprising a wick, a first phase and a second phase, the first phase comprising a fuel and being substantially clear with a first melting point, the second phase comprising a fuel and being visually distinct from the first phase with a second melting point, the second melting point being greater than or about equal to the first melting point.
A process for preparing a candle, comprising combining a first phase, a second phase, and a wick, wherein
- the first phase comprises a first gelled fuel, the first gelled fuel comprising a first gellant at a first concentration in a first solvent, the first gelled fuel having a first melting point;
- the second phase comprises a second gelled fuel, the second gelled fuel comprising a second gellant at a second concentration in a second solvent, the second gelled fuel having a second melting point;
- and
- the first and second phases are non-identical.
A process for preparing a candle, comprising combining a first phase, a second phase, and a wick, wherein
- the first phase comprises a first gelled fuel, the first gelled fuel comprising a first gellant at a first concentration in a first solvent, the first phase having a first melting point;
- and
- the second phase comprises a) decorative items positioned on the surface of the first phase;
- and/or b) one or more non-flammable items positioned within the first phase.
A process for preparing a solid candle, comprising combining a wick, a first phase and a second phase, wherein
- the first phase comprises a fuel and is substantially clear with a first melting point, the second phase comprises a fuel and is visually distinct from the first phase with a second melting point, the second melting point being greater than or about equal to the first melting point.
A candle comprising a wick, a first phase and a second phase, wherein the first phase comprises a first gelled fuel, the first gelled fuel comprising a first gellant at a first concentration in a first solvent, the first phase having a first melting point;
- and
- the second phase comprises decorative items positioned on the surface of the first phase.
A candle comprising a wick, a first phase and a second phase, wherein the first phase comprises a first gelled fuel, the first gelled fuel comprising a first gellant at a first concentration in a first solvent, the first phase having a first melting point;
- and
- the second phase comprises one or more non-flammable items positioned within the first phase.
A candle comprising a wick, a first phase and a second phase, wherein
- the first phase comprises a first gelled fuel, the first gelled fuel comprising a first gellant at a first concentration in a first solvent, the first phase having a first melting point;
- and
- the second phase comprises a) decorative items positioned on the surface of the first phase and b) one or more non-flammable items positioned within the first phase.
