Abstract
A modular wick holder includes a first wick holder assembly and a second wick holder assembly joined together. The first and second wick holder assemblies are disposed symmetrical to each other. The first wick holder assembly includes a first projection, and the second wick holder assembly includes a second projection opposite and corresponding to the first projection. The first and second projections delimit a space therebetween. When the modular wick holder combines with a wick, the wick is securely held by the space. At least one adjusting member inserts through the first and second wick holder assemblies and is operable to move the first and second projections closer and to have the space include a reduced size.
Claims20
A modular wick holder comprising:
- a first wick holder assembly and a second wick holder assembly being two separate parts and joined together, with the first and second wick holder assemblies disposed symmetrical to each other, with the first wick holder assembly including a first projection and the second wick holder assembly including a second projection opposite and corresponding to the first projection, with the first and second projections delimiting a space therebetween, wherein when the modular wick holder combines with a wick, the wick is securely held by the space with clamping forces by and between the first and second projections;
- and
- at least one adjusting member inserting through the first and second wick holder assemblies and operable to move the first and second projections closer and to have the space include a reduced size.
A flame device comprising:
- a fuel tank;
- a modular wick holder assembly including a first wick holder assembly and a second wick holder assembly being separate parts and joined together, with the first and second wick holder assemblies disposed symmetrical to each other, with the first wick holder assembly including a first projection and the second wick holder assembly including a second projection opposite and corresponding to the first projection, with the first and second projections delimiting a space therebetween;
- a wick having a distal end received and drawing fuel in the fuel tank and another distal end outward the fuel tank and the modular wick holder, with the wick received in the space and clamped by and between the first and second projections;
- and
- at least one adjusting member inserting through the first and second wick holder assemblies and operable to move the first and second projections closer and to have the space include a reduced size.
A flame device comprising:
- a modular wick holder assembly including a first wick holder assembly and a second wick holder assembly being separate parts and joined together, with the first and second wick holder assemblies disposed symmetrical to each other, with the first wick holder assembly including a first projection and the second wick holder assembly including a second projection opposite and corresponding to the first projection, with the first and second projections delimiting a space therebetween receiving a wick, with the wick having a distal end received and drawing fuel in a fuel tank and another distal end outward the fuel tank and the modular wick holder;
- at least one adjusting member inserting through the first and second wick holder assemblies and operable to move the first and second projections closer and to have the space include a reduced size;
- and
- a shield engaging with the fuel tank and disposed above the first and second wick holder assemblies, and wherein the shield has an open position and a closed position, with the shield revealing an opening of the fuel tank when the shield is in the open position thereof, thereby allowing a fuel tank fill-up operation, and with the shield closing the opening of the fuel tank when the shield is in the closed position thereof.
