Abstract

A gel candle in a flexible container with the container being made from aluminum foil with a corrugated side wall ending at its top end in a corrugated shoulder and an annular corrugated lip, and having a bottom wall with an annular concave groove therein. The container is filled with a candle gel having been liquified, then having fragrance and liquid dye incorporated therein before being poured into and solidified in the container; the latter being sufficiently flexible to allow the candle gel to be removed without damage.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 ) A gel candle in a flexible container comprising in combination, 
 a) a flexible cup shaped container made from aluminum foil and having a truncated conical form, with the top of the container being larger than its bottom and with its top being open and its bottom being closed and having a bottom wall,    b) the portion of said container between its top and bottom comprising a side wall, and said side wall being corrugated for flexibility,    c) a gel candle contained within and filling said flexible cup, said gel having been made from a clear oil based candle gel melted at a temperature of between 180 and 200 degrees and having had fragrance oil and liquid dye incorporated therein and then poured into said cup and solidified, and    d) said cup being flexible so as to be deformable whereby said gel candle can be removed from said cup without damaging said gel.    
     
     
         2 ) A gel candle according to  claim 1  wherein said side wall of said container at the top end of said container is formed with an overturned corrugated annular lip.  
     
     
         3 ) A gel candle according to  claim 2  wherein said side wall has an annular corrugated shoulder immediately below said annular lip.  
     
     
         4 ) A gel candle according to  claim 3  wherein said bottom wall has an annular concave groove therein defining an annular shoulder between said groove and said side wall.
