ABSTRACT:
A liquid fuel lamp having a fuel container for containing a combustible liquid fuel, the fuel container having an open mouth. A non-metallic flame guard is connected to the fuel container and closes the mouth, the flame guard having a flared skirt that extends radially outward, covering the fuel container, and a wick opening in the flame guard, located above the mouth of the fuel container. A flame resistant wick holder is located in the wick opening and is not in contact with the fuel container. A wick extends upwardly from within the fuel container, through the wick holder, to a location above the flame guard without any continuous metallic heat flow path from the wick holder to the fuel container. The portion of the wick beneath the flame guard is guarded from free contact with the atmosphere surrounding the lamp by the combined action of the fuel container, flame guard, and wick holder.
