<p>This candle is formed of a reservoir preferably but not exclusively of elongated cylindrical shape, provided at its top with a cover hermetically fixable to it and holed in a central position to support and removably house in said hole a metal tube containing a wick consisting of a bunch of long glass fibres contained within a tubular fabric sheath preferably of cotton. The length of this wick is such that it rests on the bottom of the reservoir so that it becomes soaked even if only little fuel is present. The cover fixed to the reservoir is shaped in such a manner as to receive a cap of rubbery material able to retain and then return any liquid fuel which escapes from the central hole by accidental overturning of the candle during transportation or by mishandling. The candle is also provided with an outer ring for its possible support on the edges of hollow containers of embellishing appearance.</p> |
