ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to improvements in self contained illuminating devices, generally of the type otherwise referred to as candles, but differing from ordinary candles in that a container is employed into which a combustible oil or a meltable, combustible substance, such as wax or tallow, is placed, such as by pouring the same in a melted state such that upon hardening, the material conforms to the shape of the container. In particular, the focus of the invention is on an improved flame sustaining wick device constructed primarily of a non-rigid, typically low combustibility material having a cellular structure which will permit a drawing action by the wick of the liquid oil or melted material up through the wick to the flame. The wick of the present invention includes an internally disposed stiffener including a base portion sufficient to support the wick within the container and in an essentially vertical free-standing attitude either in the presence of or in the absence of material and regardless of whether said material is in the liquid or solid state.
