Candle Wick Kit and Methods of Using the Same

Abstract

The present invention relates to a kit, specifically a candle wick kit and methods of using the same. More specifically, the present invention comprises a kit including a number of components to utilize a candle after a wick inside the candle becomes unusable. For example, the present invention comprises one or more boring tools for creating a borehole through a quantity of candle wax, and one or more lengths of wick, one of which may fit within the borehole created by the boring tool. Thus, a candle having an unusable wick may be provided with a replacement wick for continued utilization of the candle.

1 . A kit for inserting a wick into a candle, the kit comprising:
 a first boring tool having a first shape, a first end, a second end, and a length between the first end and the second end, wherein the first boring tool is utilized to bore through an amount of wax to provide a borehole without being heated; and   a first length of wick having a first shape, wherein the first length of wick is disposed within the borehole within the amount of wax.   
     
     
         2 . The kit of  claim 1  wherein the first boring tool is rigid. 
     
     
         3 . The kit of  claim 1  wherein the first boring tool is made from material selected from the group consisting of wood, metal, plastic, and fiberglass. 
     
     
         4 . The kit of  claim 1  wherein the first boring tool is cylindrical. 
     
     
         5 . The kit of  claim 1  wherein the first end of the first boring tool is padded. 
     
     
         6 . The kit of  claim 1  wherein the second end of the first boring tool is pointed. 
     
     
         7 . The kit of  claim 1  wherein the first length of wick is rigid. 
     
     
         8 . The kit of  claim 1  wherein the first length of wick is flexible. 
     
     
         9 . The kit of  claim 1  wherein the first length of wick extends above the amount of wax for ignition of the first length of wick. 
     
     
         10 . The kit of  claim 1  further comprising a cutting tool for cutting the at least one length of wick to a desired length. 
     
     
         11 . The kit of  claim 1  further comprising a second boring tool having a second shape. 
     
     
         12 . The kit of  claim 1  further comprising a second length of wick having a second shape. 
     
     
         13 . A method of inserting and using a wick in a candle, the method comprising the steps of:
 providing a kit comprising a first boring tool having a first shape, and a first length of wick;   providing a first candle having an amount of wax;   boring a first borehole with the first boring tool within the amount of wax within the first candle without heating the first boring tool; and   inserting the first length of wick within the borehole, a portion of which extends above the amount of wax for ignition of the first length of wick.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13  further comprising the steps of:
 providing a cutting tool; and 
 cutting the first length of wick to a desired length. 
 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13  further comprising the steps of:
 providing a second length of wick; 
 boring a second borehole with the first boring tool within the amount of wax within the first candle without heating the first boring tool; and 
 inserting the second length of wick within the borehole, a portion of which extends above the amount of wax for ignition of the second length of wick. 
 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 13  further comprising the steps of:
 providing a second length of wick; 
 providing a second candle having an amount of wax; 
 boring a second borehole with the first boring tool within the amount of wax within the second candle without heating the first boring tool; and 
 inserting the second length of wick within the second borehole, a portion of which extends above the amount of wax for ignition of the second length of wick. 
 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 13  further comprising the steps of:
 providing a second boring tool having a second shape; and 
 boring a second borehole with the second boring tool within the amount of wax within the first candle without heating the second boring tool, wherein the second borehole and the first borehole have different shapes. 
 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 13  further comprising the steps of:
 providing an igniter; and 
 igniting the first length of wick. 
 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 15  further comprising the steps of:
 providing an igniter; 
 igniting the first length of wick; and 
 igniting the second length of wick. 
 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 16  further comprising the steps of:
 providing an igniter; 
 igniting the first length of wick; and 
 igniting the second length of wick.
