Layered candle

Abstract

A composite candle structure is provided. A variety of color-scented hollow wax discs and a center filler wax form a laminated candle body providing a permanent base with mixed aroma for supporting a collection of removable tea-light candles in matching colors and scents. Each layer of wax disc may be distinguished by its color and scent and further by an inscribed pattern of words or messages for a spectator to read and get inspired. Also, a user can make swift changes among various illuminative as well as aromatic effects due to the simple fitting of interchangeable tea-light sections.

1 . A candle comprising:
 a. a composite wax base having a predetermined number of hollow discs laminated in a longitudinal stack, the wax base being in the form of a pillar having elongated side walls and flat top and bottom surfaces and the hollow discs being made of two or more different wax compositions including distinctive mixtures of coloring agent and fragrance;   b. inscribed patterns on the outer surfaces of the hollow discs for conveying a meaning to be carried and highlighted by the candle;   c. a wax filler extending partially though the hollow space of the discs and fused thereto but stopped short of the top surface of the pillar wax base to leave a top recess therein; and   d. a group of interchangeable fuel sections each contained in a transparent pot shaped to fit in the top recess of the wax base, each of the fuel sections having a wick inserted therein.   
   
   
       2 . The candle of  claim 1 , wherein each layer of the wax discs is distinguished by its color and scent before and after combustion of the candle and further by an inscribed pattern of word or message for an illuminated spectator to read and get inspired. 
   
   
       3 . The candle of  claim 2 , wherein the inscribed pattern is provided with colored ink. 
   
   
       4 . The candle of  claim 1 , wherein the interchangeable fuel sections are formed of the same materials used to make the hollow discs so that the fuel sections correspond to the layers of the wax discs in number as well as composition. 
   
   
       5 . The candle of  claim 1 , wherein the respective pots of the fuel sections are printed with the same pattern as inscribed in the respective discs of the wax base to relate the respective compositions to specific messages to highlight in a coherent manner throughout the candle. 
   
   
       6 . The candle of  claim 1 , wherein the interchangeable fuel sections are tea-lights. 
   
   
       7 . The candle of  claim 1 , wherein the wax base is isolated from a flame of the fuel section to provide a prolonged reuse thereof. 
   
   
       8 . The candle of  claim 1 , wherein the pot containing the fuel section in the top recess of the wax base protrudes above the flat top surface of the wax base to facilitate removal and replacement of the fuel section. 
   
   
       9 . The candle of  claim 8 , wherein the pot containing the fuel section has three or more legs for raising the pot from the bottom of the top recess to avoid a vacuum pull acting against its removal due to a tight fit between the pot and the recess of the wax base. 
   
   
       9 . A candle comprising:
 a. a composite wax base having a plurality of hollow discs laminated in a longitudinal stack, the wax base being in the form of a pillar having elongated side walls and flat top and bottom surfaces and the hollow discs being made of a plurality of wax compositions having different mixtures of coloring agent and fragrance;   b. letters written on the outer surfaces of the hollow discs for conveying a message;   c. a wax filler extending partially though the hollow space of the discs with a top recess; and   d. a group of interchangeable small sized candles shaped to fit in the top recess of the wax base, each of the small sized candles having a wick.   
   
   
       10 . The candle of  claim 1 , wherein each layer of the wax discs is distinguished by its color and scent before and after combustion of the candle and further by an inscribed pattern of word or message for an illuminated spectator to read and get inspired. 
   
   
       11 . The candle of  claim 2 , wherein the inscribed pattern is provided with colored wax. 
   
   
       12 . The candle of  claim 1 , wherein the interchangeable fuel sections are formed of the same materials used to make the hollow discs so that the fuel sections correspond to the layers of the wax discs in number as well as composition. 
   
   
       13 . The candle of  claim 1 , wherein the respective pots of the fuel sections are printed with the same pattern as inscribed in the respective discs of the wax base to relate the respective compositions to specific messages to highlight in a coherent manner throughout the candle. 
   
   
       14 . The candle of  claim 1 , wherein the interchangeable fuel sections are tea-lights. 
   
   
       15 . The candle of  claim 1 , wherein the wax base is isolated from a flame of the fuel section to provide a prolonged reuse thereof. 
   
   
       16 . The candle of  claim 1 , wherein the pot containing the fuel section in the top recess of the wax base protrudes above the flat top surface of the wax base to facilitate removal and replacement of the fuel section. 
   
   
       9 . The candle of  claim 8 , wherein the pot containing the fuel section has three or more legs for raising the pot from the bottom of the top recess to avoid a vacuum pull acting against its removal due to a tight fit between the pot and the recess of the wax base.
