ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to votive cap converter kit and more particularly pertains to a new votive cap converter kit for converting a votive candle cup into to oil lamp converter kit an oil burning candle.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of votive cap converter kit is known in the prior art. More specifically, votive cap converter kit heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
Known prior art includes U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,183,688; 4,019,856; 5,086,380; 3,583,853; 4,511,952; and U.S. Pat. No. Des. 318,927.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new votive cap converter kit. The inventive device includes an elongate tubular sheath with a wick extending through the sheath such that an upper end of the wick outwardly extends from a top end of the sheath and a lower end of the wick outwardly extends from a bottom end of the sheath. A support plate is also included with a wick hole therethrough through which the sheath may being inserted. The support plate is designed for insertion into a container has lamp oil fluid therein such that the bottom end of the sheath is submerged in the lamp oil fluid and the support plate and the top end of the sheath are positioned in the container above the lamp oil fluid.
In these respects, the votive cap converter kit according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of converting a votive candle cup into an oil burning candle.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of votive cap converter kit now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new votive cap converter kit construction wherein the same can be utilized for converting a votive candle cup into an oil burning candle.
The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new votive cap converter kit apparatus and method which has many of the advantages of the votive cap converter kit mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new votive cap converter kit which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art votive cap converter kit, either alone or in any combination thereof.
To attain this, the present invention generally comprises an elongate tubular sheath with a wick extending through the sheath such that an upper end of the wick outwardly extends from a top end of the sheath and a lower end of the wick outwardly extends from a bottom end of the sheath. A support plate is also included with a wick hole therethrough through which the sheath may being inserted. The support plate is designed for insertion into a container has lamp oil fluid therein such that the bottom end of the sheath is submerged in the lamp oil fluid and the support plate and the top end of the sheath are positioned in the container above the lamp oil fluid.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientists, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application, which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new votive cap converter kit apparatus and method which has many of the advantages of the votive cap converter kit mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new votive cap converter kit which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art votive cap converter kit, either alone or in any combination thereof.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new votive cap converter kit which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new votive cap converter kit which is of a durable and reliable construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new votive cap converter kit which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such votive cap converter kit economically available to the buying public.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new votive cap converter kit which provides in the apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages thereof, while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages normally associated therewith.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a new votive cap converter kit for converting a votive candle cup into an oil burning candle.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new votive cap converter kit which includes an elongate tubular sheath with a wick extending through the sheath such that an upper end of the wick outwardly extends from a top end of the sheath and a lower end of the wick outwardly extends from a bottom end of the sheath. A support plate is also included with a wick hole therethrough through which the sheath may being inserted. The support plate is designed for insertion into a container has lamp oil fluid therein such that the bottom end of the sheath is submerged in the lamp oil fluid and the support plate and the top end of the sheath are positioned in the container above the lamp oil fluid.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new votive cap converter kit that may be used to convert various containers, such as vases, wine glasses, and juice glasses, into oil burning candles.
Even still another object of the present invention is to provide a new votive cap converter kit that may have various designs and decorations thereon for added beauty to the completed oil candle.
These together with other objects of the invention, along with the various features of novelty whi
