Benefits of technology

[0014] Generally, the present disclosure provides for placing aromatic substances and other materials in a wick to produce a scented wick. The scented wick releases scent while being burned. The scented wick also releases less smoke and smolders less after being extinguished. The ...

Problems solved by technology

However, if too much wax is provided to the flame, the flame will not receive enough oxygen to burn all of the wax effectively and smoking will result.
Scented wax candles are generally inefficient for scent generation for multiple reasons.
First, during use...

Embodiment Construction

)

[0022] The present invention relates to a candle wick having an aromatic substance embedded therein, and methods for making the scented wick and a candle using the scented wick. The resultant scented wick can be employed in conjunction with scented wax to produce a scented candle. The scent in the wax and the scent in the wick could be different, producing a new aromatic effect during burning. Also, the resultant scented wick can be employed in conjunction with unadulterated (unscented) wax (i.e., a wax base lacking an aromatic substance) to produce a scented candle.

[0023] The aromatic substances are impregnated into the wick that then releases a scent that masks, neutralizes, or counteracts the normal smell typically released by a wick when extinguished. The result is an odorless or seemingly odorless extinguishing. In one embodiment, the scent is released after the flame is extinguished while the wick is still smoldering. By creating an odorless extinguishing process, the remain...

Abstract

A scented wick including a wick and an aromatic substance is provided. The aromatic substances can be any material including a chemical or fire retardant. A scent enhancer may be used with the aromatic substance. The scented wick may be sealed with a thin layer of wax to prevent scent loss and prepare the scented wick for individual sale. When used, the scented wick will produce more effective scent production than conventional scented candles. Also the scented wick will extinguish with less smoldering and smoking than a conventional wick. Methods for producing the scented wick are also disclosed herein.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Ser. No. 60 / 538,725, filed Jan. 22, 2004 and U.S. Provisional Ser. No. 60 / 608,720, filed Sep. 10, 2004.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention is related to the field of candles, and more specifically to an improved candle wick. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] Candles have become popular for decorative and aromatic purposes. The candles may be manufactured from a wax, such as paraffin, vegetable or beeswax. [0006] Scented wax candles have been widely used for producing a scent. Such candles are conventionally made by blending an aromatic substance into melted wax. The resulting aromatic mixture is poured into a candle mold with a fiber wick disposed therein. The wick is generally made from an absorbent twine such as cotton. The wax then cools, forming a solid candle. [0007] When the wick of the candle is lit, the heat gradually melts the wax adjacent the wi...
