TL;DR: In this paper, a wick clip assembly for candles to be used on a supporting surface, as well as a method for making such assemblies, and candles incorporating the same, are described.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a wick clip assembly for candles to be used on a supporting surface, as well as a method for making such assemblies, and candles incorporating the same. According to one embodiment, a wick receiving member is disposed adjacent to the top of a base. A generally open skirt extends downwardly from the base, and is adapted to maintain the base in a predetermined spaced relationship relative to a supporting surface in use. The bottom end of a wick penetrates the base and is securely attached to the wick clip assembly by the wick receiving member such that its bottom end is located above the supporting surface in use. The clip provides enhanced control over heat transfer from the flame to the supporting surface, while optimizing performance of the candle.

TL;DR: In this paper, a containerized candle having a candle wick sustainer and an upper section for holding the wick supported by supporting side walls is described. But this enables the candle to burn down whilst leaving an insulating layer of wax in the base of the container.
Abstract: The invention provides a containerised candle having a candle wick sustainer (2) having an upper section (5) for holding the wick (4) supported by supporting side walls (8a, 8b) which may be provided with stabilising flanges (9a, 9b). This enables the wick to burn down whilst leaving an insulating layer of wax in the base of the container.

TL;DR: In this article, a pair of upwardly extending arms are coupled to the bimetallic coil springs and support a corresponding pair of heart-shaped members, and the heat produced by the central candle wick is operative upon the arms to cause the heartshaped members to be joined as the candle burns.
Abstract: A candle includes a candle body formed of a quantity of candle wax. In one embodiment, a stationary wick is embedded within the candle body and a movable wick is supported within the candle body by a bimetallic coil spring. The heat produced by the burning of the movable and stationary wicks causes a relative motion between the movable wick and the stationary wick. In an alternate embodiment a pair of movable wicks are supported by a pair of bimetallic coil springs such that the heat produced by the burning wicks causes the coil springs to join the movable wicks to produce a combined flame. In a still further alternate embodiment, a pair of bimetallic coil springs and a central wick are supported within a candle body. A pair of upwardly extending arms are coupled to the bimetallic coil springs and support a corresponding pair of heart-shaped members. The heat produced by the central candle wick is operative upon the bimetallic coil springs to cause the heart-shaped members to be joined as the candle burns.
