Embodiment Construction

[0023] The preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 1. The candle 10 has a central axial core 12 of candle fuel, preferably wax. A wick 14 extends axially within the central core 12 and protrudes or extends from the top 13 of the core 12 for lighting of the wick by a user. The candle 10 further includes a plurality of stacked rings 15, 16 and 17 having an opening for receipt of the central core. The rings 15, 16 and 17 are disposed around the central core 12 and preferably are slidably removable. It is preferred that the core 12 have a bottom flange extending radially to form a base 11 for resting upon a support surface. The periphery of the candle 10 as shown in FIG. 1 is circular cylindrical. However, a variety of geometrical shapes are available, such as square cylindrical or oval cylindrical.

[0024] Many alternative compositions of the core 12 are possible. The type of wax used in the core 12 may vary. For example, gel wax, natural wax, or a petroleum...

Abstract

A candle having a central axial core of candle fuel, preferably wax, a wick extending axially within the central core and a plurality of stacked rings disposed around the central core. The rings may be made of differing compositions, including differing coloring agents and scenting agents and preferably are slidable along the core so they are interchangeable.

CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] (Not Applicable) STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY-SPONSORED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT [0002] (Not Applicable) REFERENCE TO AN APPENDIX [0003] (Not Applicable) BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] 1. Field of the Invention [0005] This invention relates generally candles and more specifically, a multipart candle structure. [0006] 2. Description of the Related Art [0007] Candles have been made and used as light sources for many years. Today however, candles are popular home furnishings, used in decorating or enhancing the fragrance of an area. Candles are formed from a fuel source, usually wax, having a consumable wick for burning. Traditionally, candles have been made to be a single unitary structure, having the same general shape, color and fragrance throughout the candle. [0008] One type of candle that is popular is the pillar candle. The distance between the center of the candle and the outer edge of the candle, combined with the wax meltin...
