Liquid fuel candle

Abstract

Provided is a liquid fuel candle comprising a wax body with a hollowed core, a base defining a reservoir for storage of liquid fuel attached to one end of the wax body, an insulator attached to the other end of the wax body, and a wick threaded through the hollowed core and communicating at one end with the liquid fuel and at the other end with the insulator. The base may be formed and dimensioned to resemble a conventional candle holder, and since the liquid fuel is stored within the reservoir provided by the base, the wax body may be very slender and thin without compromising candle burn time. A diffuser ring may be associated with the insulator for evaporation and dispersion of scented oils. More than one wax body, wick and insulator may be associated with a single base.

1 . An liquid fuel candle comprising; 
 a wax body having a hollowed core;    a base associated with one end of the wax body in communication with the hollow core, the base defining a reservoir for storage of liquid fuel;    an insulator associated with the other end of the wax body in communication with the hollowed core for holding a wick and preventing the wick from contacting the outer surface of the wax body; and,    a wick threaded through the hollow core of the wax body, the wick communicating at one end with the liquid fuel within the base, and at the other end with the insulator.    
   
   
       2 . The liquid fuel candle of  claim 1 , wherein the base further comprises a re-sealable aperture for filling of the reservoir with liquid fuel.  
   
   
       3 . The liquid fuel candle of  claim 1 , wherein the insulator is constructed of a material having a high specific heat capacity.  
   
   
       4 . The liquid fuel candle of  claim 1 , wherein a heat resistant conduit is interposed between the wick and the insulator.  
   
   
       5 . The liquid fuel candle of  claim 1 , further comprising a diffuser associated with the insulator for holding scented fluids.
