US Classification:

362161, 362163, 431291

Abstract:

A new and improved candle with a novel structure and novel decorative features. The candle has a composite structure, including an outer portion and an inner portion. The outer portion in a preferred embodiment is made of a gel composition. In preferred embodiments, the outer portion may be set in an outer receptacle or stand alone. The outer portion of the candle has a recess into which the inner portion is positioned. The inner portion typically contains at least one wick. In a preferred embodiment, the inner portion may be contained in an inner receptacle, which is then placed into the recess in the outer portion of the candle. In a preferred embodiment, the inner receptacle is clear, and, even more preferably, is concealed by the outer portion. In another preferred embodiment, the inner receptacle or the inner portions, or both, are replaceable. The inner portion may be formed from wax or gel or other suitable candle body material.

Appl. No.:

09/971739

Inventors:

Jeffrey Bell - Alpha NJ, US

International Classification:

B29C037/02

US Classification:

264/138000

Abstract:

A gel-based or solid item with one or more decorative voids. Gel-based and solid compositions typically used for air fresheners or candles permit the inclusion of shaped objects that, when removed once the composition cures sufficiently, create decorative voids. Depending upon the shape of the objects used, these voids may possess a high degree of detail. Highly detailed decorative objects often produce an ice sculpture-like appearance to the decorative void. Additional effects, such as glitter or a pearl-like appearance, may be added to enhance the appearance of the decorative void.

International Classification:

A61K 8/81
A01N 25/00

US Classification:

424401000, 424405000

Abstract:

Gel compositions and methods of synthesis thereof. The present invention discloses and describes a stable polymeric gel that exhibits highly desirable characteristics, including long term stability over a large temperature range while at the same time including volatile organic compounds into the gel. The gels of the present invention preferably include a volatile hydrophobic liquid, a polymeric material containing a carboxylic acid, and a cross-linking agent. The gel formed using said composition is typically clear although cloudy gels may also be made and the gels made range in firmness from soft to firm. The gels of the present invention may also include volatile organic compounds without compromising the stability of the gel. Such volatile organic compounds may include fragrances, perfumes, fragrance raw materials, deodorants, odor counteractants, malodors, essential oils, ethers, esters, ketones, alcohols, glycols, silicone hydrocarbons, cyclic hydrocarbons, aldehydes, terpines, volatile insecticides, volatile insect repellents, volatile pesticides, volatile antimicrobial agents, volatile fungicides, volatile herbicides and combinations thereof.

International Classification:

F23D 3/18

US Classification:

431325000

Abstract:

Wicks and candles with reduced smoke production. In presently-preferred embodiments, the wick includes a flame-retardant material that is dispersed substantially uniformly throughout at least a portion of the wick. The flame retardant material may be distributed throughout the wick or selectively in the sheath or core of the wick. In an alternative embodiment, the flame-retardant material may be uniformly dispersed in only a portion of the strands of the wick. The flame-retardant material is included a concentration that reduces smoke production, malodor production, or afterglow in the wick or candle after the candle is extinguished. Presently-preferred components of the flame-retardant material include inorganic salts that include bromine, phosphorus, or boron, organohalogens, or phosphorus-containing compounds.
