Abstract
A self-filling candle which fills itself with melted wax to form a second candle for additional burning. The self-filling candle generally includes a hollow candle body having a cavity extending therein from an upper opening. The candle body one or more layers of wax, wherein an outer layer of wax has a higher burning point than the one or more interior layers. A first wick is helically wound through the middle layer of wax in the candle body. As the first wick is burned, melted wax will pool and collect in the cavity to form a second candle. A second wick is positioned in the lower surface of the cavity, which will be utilized to burn the second candle after it has been formed.
Claims13
A self-filling candle, comprising:
- A candle body, wherein said candle body is comprised of a hollow wax configuration having a cavity formed therein;
- and
- Wherein said candle body includes an outer layer of wax, wherein said candle body includes an inner layer of wax, wherein a melting point of said outer layer of wax is higher than that of said inner layer of wax, wherein said outer layer of wax is comprised of less thickness than said inner layer of wax;
- and
- Wherein said inner layer of wax is comprised of paraffin wax;
- and
- Wherein said outer layer of wax is comprised of paraffin wax treated with an agent adapted to raise the melting point of said outer layer of wax;
- and
- A first wick helically wound within said candle body, wherein said first wick is comprised of a braided, flexible wick;
- and
- A second wick positioned vertically within a lower surface of said candle body within said cavity, wherein said second wick is comprised of wood;
- and
- Wherein said first and second wick are within the same wax candle body.
A self-filling candle, comprising:
- a candle body, wherein said candle body is comprised of a hollow configuration having a cavity formed therein;
- wherein said candle body includes an outer layer of wax;
- wherein said candle body includes an inner layer of wax;
- wherein said candle body includes a middle layer of wax, wherein a melting point of said outer layer of wax is higher than a melting point of said inner layer and said middle layer of wax;
- wherein said outer layer of wax is comprised of less thickness than said inner layer of wax;
- and
- wherein said inner layer of wax is comprised of paraffin wax;
- and
- wherein said outer layer of wax is comprised of paraffin wax treated with an agent adapted to raise the melting point of said outer layer of wax;
- and
- a first wick helically wound within said middle layer of wax;
- and
- a second wick positioned within a lower surface of said candle body within said cavity.
A self-filling candle, comprising:
- a cylindrical candle body, wherein said candle body is comprised of a hollow configuration having a cavity formed therein;
- wherein said candle body includes an outer layer of wax;
- wherein said candle body includes an inner layer of wax;
- wherein said candle body includes a middle layer of wax, wherein a melting point of said outer layer of wax is higher than a melting point of said inner layer, wherein said melting point of said outer layer of wax is higher than a melting point of said middle layer, wherein said melting point of said inner layer of wax is equal to or less than said melting point of said middle layer of wax;
- wherein said outer layer of wax is comprised of less thickness than said inner layer of wax;
- and
- wherein said inner layer of wax is comprised of paraffin wax;
- and
- wherein said outer layer of wax is comprised of paraffin wax treated with an agent adapted to raise the melting point of said outer layer of wax;
- and
- a first wick helically wound within said middle layer of wax, wherein said first wick is comprised of a flexible, braided wick;
- and
- a second wick positioned within a lower surface of said candle body within said cavity, wherein said second wick is comprised of wood.
