IMPROVED HEAT EXCHANGE FOR MELTING PLATE CANDLE

The present invention relates to melting plate candles which employ heat conductive elements to distribute heat from a burning flame at a wick to a support plate for a solid fuel and to the body of the solid fuel, so as to more rapidly liquefy the solid fuel, such as paraffin wax, and to more unifor...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to melting plate candles which employ heat conductive elements to distribute heat from a burning flame at a wick to a support plate for a solid fuel and to the body of the solid fuel, so as to more rapidly liquefy the solid fuel, such as paraffin wax, and to more uniformly and intensely heat such fuels to increase the efficiency of consumption thereof and to more rapidly release volatile materials contained within the fuels. The heat conductive support plate is configured so as to have a capillary pedestal upon the surface thereof, which cooperatively engages a wick holder comprising a preferably consumable wick and heat conductive fins which conduct heat from a flame upon the wick to the support plate, the wick holder further engaging the capillary pedestal in such a locking manner as to resist accidental removal from the pedestal. The fuel may be provided in various forms, configured to cooperatively engage the wick holder and support plate, and may comprise various volatile materials. The capillary pedestal, in conjunction with the wick holder, causes rapid and complete flow of the liquefied fuel to the wick. The capillary pedestal and wick holder are shaped so as to provide for variance of capillary flow between them when the wick holder is rotated relative to the capillary pedestal.
