AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This method enables efficient and uniform fragrance release without pollutant emissions, ensuring safer and more rapid melting of candles.

Problems solved by technology

Wick burning releases pollutants which to some extent mutes the perfume fragrance also being released and, with some candle compositions, can be harmful to health.
Non-uniform heating of the material from which the candle or like item is made can result in an explosion, risking human injury and destroying the assembly including the container.

Embodiment Construction

[0015] Reference is now made to the drawing wherein like numerals are used to designate like parts throughout. The present invention relates generally to emission of fragrance from a material used to form candles or like objects and comprises combinations, assemblies and methods by which a normally solid candle or like object in a receptacle, vessel or container is melted by heat applied through the bottom of the receptacle directly to the material comprising the candle. The heat also is communicated to a heat conducting element embedded in the material which conducts the heat to locations remote from the bottom of the receptacle to accommodate complete and more rapid melting of the material in a relatively short time, while reducing the risk of an explosion due to uneven heating.

[0016] Typically, the vessel is formed as one piece and comprised of glass so that the material from which the candle is made is visually observable through the vessel. While it is preferred that fragrance...

Abstract

Combinations, assemblies and methods for releasing fragrance from candles and like objects are disclosed, which utilize a heat conductive core or element embedded in the material from which the containerized candle or like item is made whereby heat is applied to the container is distributed to the material along the core to facilitate more rapid and more uniform melting, while reducing the risk of an explosion due to uneven beating.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates generally to emission of fragrance from a candle or the like and, more particularly, to novel combinations, assemblies and methods by which a normally solid candle or like item in a receptacle or container is melted by heat applied through the receptacle directly to adjacent material comprising the candle or like item and indirectly along a heat conducting element embedded in the material to more remote material locations. BACKGROUND [0002] Perfumed candles and like fragrance releasing items in a solid state at room temperature are typically placed in a container, such as an open top glass vessel. Fragrance is emitted from the material comprising the candle or like item by either burning a wick to melt the top of the candle, or externally heating the bottom of the container to melt to lower portions of the candle or like object. [0003] Wick burning releases pollutants which to some extent mutes the perfume fragrance also be...
