Abstract
A metallic wick assembly includes at least one mesh member and a sleeve member. The at least one mesh member includes a first length defined between first and second ends thereof. The sleeve member is mounted around the mesh member and includes a second length defined between two longitudinal opposite ends thereof. The second length is less than the first length. A third length is defined between a distal end of the sleeve member and the first end of the mesh member. The sleeve member is slidable with respect to the mesh member to adjust the third length for controlling the flame scale.
Claims20
A metallic wick assembly comprising:
- at least one mesh member including first and second ends disposed opposite to each other, first and second surfaces respectively extended from the first end to the second end thereof and arranged opposite to each other, a plurality of meshes penetrating the first and second surfaces between the first and second ends thereof, and a transport channel extending from the first end to the second end thereof, with the mesh member including a first length defined between the first and second ends thereof,
- a sleeve member mounted around each at least one mesh member and including a second length defined between a distal end and an longitudinal opposite end thereof, with the second length being less than the first length;
- wherein a third length is defined between the distal end of the sleeve member and the first end of the at least one mesh member, with the sleeve member slidable with respect to the mesh member to adjust the third length;
- and
- a fuel tank having a through hole and a bottom, with the sleeve member received in the through hole, with the longitudinal opposite end located in the fuel tank, with the second end of the at least one mesh member located in the fuel tank and abutting with the bottom, with the first end of the at least one mesh member and the distal end of the sleeve member located outward of the fuel tank with the transport channel drawing fuel from the fuel tank by capillary action inside the sleeve member, with the third length being adjusted for controlling a flame scale.
