A wick for combustion of liquid fuel.

摘要

A wick for use with combustion apparatus of the draw-up and vaporization type comprises a primary wick (13) for drawing up and vaporizing liquid fuel, an auxiliary wick (14) provided laterally of the primary wick for lighting and fire spreading, and isolation bodies (17, 18) for separating the primary wick from the auxiliary wick to prevent transfer of liquid fuel there-between. The top end of the auxiliary wick (14) extends above the top end of the primary wick (13), and the lower end of the auxiliary wick is adapted to be positioned above the liquid fuel surface during normal combustion and to be dipped into the liquid fuel only after fire is put out, thereby enabling eliminating deposition of tar-like substances on the auxiliary wick and attaining rapid fire spreading. The primary wick (13) comprises an upper vaporization section (15) and a lower, draw-up member (16) which section and member are detachably connected to each other.
