ABSTRACT:
A decorative lamp comprising a housing including a recess and a self-contained and replaceable mineral spirit burning lamp assembly disposed within the recess in the housing. The assembly comprises a cannister of mineral spirits into which a wick extends. A tubular portion is connected at the top of the cannister and has an open end. A cup-shaped cap member is snapped in place over the open end of the tubular portion and includes a pair of openings therein. A wick is folded in two with the folded mid portion extending outside the cap between the openings and with the free ends of the wick extending through the openings into the tubular member and therethrough into the cannister. The portion of the wick projecting out of the cap member serves as the flame site. The cap member also includes a pressure release port which is disposed adjacent to the openings through which the wick extends and is sufficiently large to permit the combustible fluid to seep therethrough as a result of the expansion thereof in the cannister when the cannister is fully filled, while small enough to preclude the fluid from gushing therethrough in the event that the cannister is inverted or otherwise knocked over.
