Abstract
In a device for holding a wick for an liquid oil lamp, in a bottle, it is known to have a stem with a vertical hole varying in size such that an appropriate wick, used to draw up the liquid oil, can be threaded through the vertical hole, such that the wick is held in place because of the friction which is present between the wick and the wall of the vertical hole. This device is known to have a flared top with a larger diameter than the bottle neck opening such that flared top prevents the device from falling into the bottle. In this invention, a groove is made in the bottom of the stem such that a non-reactive flexible washer of an appropriate thickness and diameter can be installed and retained. The device, with this washer installed in the groove, will form a seal between both the inside of the groove and with the inside of the bottle neck opening. Also in this invention, a channel is made in the flared top. This enables a fragranced oil to be placed in the channel, via a dropper and/or pipette.
Description
21~1~3~
Specification This invention relates to a device for holding a wick for a liquid oil lamp, in a bottle.
It is common in devices for holding a wick for a liquid oil lamp, in a bottle, for the device to sit freely, unfastened, on top of the bottle opening. It is, of course, obvious that if the bottle is accidentally tipped or knocked over that the device for holding a wick will fall out, ~l lh~ url l lly allowing the liquid oil to spill out and soil the surrounding area and to cause a potential fire hazard.
Devices of this type have a flared top with a larger diameter than the bottle neck opening. With these devices, when the wick is lit no aroma is released into the atmosphere, unlike most scented wax candles which release fragrance into the dill.o~ when they are lit.
I have found that the disadvantage of the liquid oil spilling and soiling the surroumding area and causing a potential fire hazard may be overcome by installing a groove on the bottom of the stem. The stem must be sufficiently long enough, such that a groove, located at the bottom of the stem, is well within the bottle neck opening. The size of the groove should be such that a non-reactive flexible washer of an appropriate thickness and diameter can be installed and retained. This washer will form a seal between both the inside of the groove and the inside of the bottle neck opening, thus, in the event that a liquid oil lamp, in a bottle, is accidentally tipped or knocked over, the liquid oil will be maintained inside the bottle, therefore l,.;l,;",;~.;"g boththechance of soiling the ~ ldi..gareaandof creatingafire hazard.
I have also found that the di~adv~ulL~ of burning a liquid oil lamp, in a bottle, without any aroma can be overcome by making a channel on the top of the flared portion of the device. This enables a fragranced oil to be placed in the channel, via a dropper and or pipette, such that when the wick is lit and the device begins to absorb the heat from the fiame, the channel begins to warm, and the aroma from the fragranced oil is released into the atmosphere.

The device illustrated comprises a flared top 7 which may vary in diameter such that it is larger than the opening of the bottle neck where it is being used, such that the larger diameter flared top 7 prevents the device from falling into a bottle A. The device may be made from brass, aluminium or any other material which can be formed into the shape and size as detailed, and which is not flammable. The stem

2 with the vertical hole 5 throughout its length, is long enough such that the wick 9 has enough surface area on which to maintain it vertical position and such that the groove 1 is sufficiently below the opening of the bottle. The diameter of the vertical hole 5 must be large enough such that an appropriate sized wick 9, used to absorb the liquid oil, can be threaded through the hole, but the diameter of the vertical hole S must also be small enough such that the wick 9 maintains its vertical position after it has been Page I
2 1 8 1 ~38 threaded. A groove 1, located at the base of the stem 2, is made to hold and retain an appropriate sized non-reactive flexible washer 4. With the washer 4 installed in groove 1, a seal can be made between both the inside of the bottle neck, and the groove with the washer. In order to form the proper seal 8, at both the bottle neck and the groove 1, the outside diameter 11 of the washer 4, should be slightly larger than the inside diameter of the bottle neck opening, and the inside diameter 10of the washer 4 should be slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the groove 1. In order to install the washer 4 in the groove 1, the washer 4 must be stretched in place.
Upon pushing the device into a bottle neck opening, the seal 8 causes the liquid oil inside the bottle to be pressurized. The pressure inside the bottle A is released through the cross drill hole 6.
The flared top 7 may be formed with a channel 3, such that fragranced oil can be placed in the channel.
In the Pmho~lim~nl of the device shown in Figure 5, the flared top 7 is plain without a charmel as in Figures 1-3, for use when fragrance is not desired, otherwise the construction may be the same as that described above.
